    V PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. My purpose in publishing this account of the Ligature of Arteries is to give a brief, but I hope an accurate, statement of the manner in which the operations may be performed, and in each case of illustrating by diagrams the more im- portant anatomical relations of the parts. For many of these I am indebted to the artistic skill of my friend and colleague, Mr. William Anderson. The descriptive matter was prepared, in the first instance, for members of the class attending my lectures. I desire to give only what is absolutely essential, and leave the student to gain afterwards by more extended observation, reading, as well as practice on the dead subject, a greater knowledge of details. WILLIAM MAC CORMAC 13 Harley Street, June 1885.
