    PREFACE. The following pages contain the substance of three Lec¬ tures, introductory to my course of Systematic Surgery. In their present form, they are offered to my pupils rather than to the public. And this may, perhaps, be considered a suffi¬ cient apology for the familiar style of the Class-room not having been altered to suit the more formal character of the Pamphlet, With regard to the observations directed upon the oppo¬ nents of Chloroform, I have to remind the reader that I speak only of the Surgical application of the Anaesthetic, and leave altogether untouched its use in Medicine and Obstetrics. And, further, I should wish to be understood as not intend¬ ing to apply a word of disrespect to those excellent and elderly members of the profession, who merely withhold their confidence and patronage from Surgical Anaesthesia. My controversy is with those who would cry it down, as a thing already tested and worthless. 51, Queen Street, Ath Nov. 1848.
