    template making it a Treatise on “Indolent Ulcers;’’ but rather an exposition of those topics in connection with this subject which formed the basis of my original paper. The following, however, are the principal objects which I had in view ; 1st, the enunciation of principles, in reference to ulceration and ulcers, which I deem to have been too much overlooked, as well by the pathologist as by the practical surgeon ; and, 2nd, the expression of my full concurrence in the views of one, to whom the profession is, I think, largely indebted for the reformation which he introduced in the treatment of ulcers and breaches of surface generally, as well as for the assertion of principles, which can never be lost sight of, so long as Surgery is a Science as well as an Art,—I mean Mr. Baynton. I trust that these objects may be regarded as a justification of my undertaking. J. G. 10, Finsbury Place South. January 1, 1855.
