    occasions presented to the College, have furnished the chief materials of the follow- ing Treatise. My principal objects have been to ex- amine the various morbid appearances that are met with in the coats of arteries; to trace the pathology of aneurism; to inves- tigate the processes by which the sponta- neous cure of this disease is sometimes accomplished; to compare these processes with the effects of medical and surgical treatment; and, from the result of these inquiries, to deduce the principles which regulate the treatment of this disease. I jhave also been desirous of collecting and arranging observations relating to the im- provements which have recently been made in the different operations for aneurism, so as to form an historical, as well as practical account of these important subjects.
