Abstract
ALTHOUGH the numerous papers collected in these two volumes were for the most part written thirty or forty years ago, their interest is in no way diminished to-day. Had the work of Lister failed to meet with due appreciation, his friends and pupils could have found no surer way of obtaining this than by the simple collection of his writings into these two volumes, and when one has said “this was his work,” no further comment or eulogium is possible. In the records of most epoch-making discoveries one can read between the lines the character of the discoverer. At first sight it would seem as if the papers dealt with many and diverse subjects, but more careful study shows a remarkable unity, each one constituting a step towards the great work with which the name of Lister will always be associated.
