    TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE TO THE REVISED EDITION. The success attained by the English translation of this work encourages the translator to believe that it is adapted to the present needs of the medical profession, and to hope that this revised edition may meet with an equally favorable reception. Since publishing the fourth edition of his work, Prof. Billroth has had increased experience during the late Franco-Prussian War ; much of which is detailed in his Chirurgische Briefe aus den Kriegs-Lazarethen in Weissenburg und Mannheim 1870, and many deductions from which will be found in the following pages. Notices of skin-grafting and various other topics recently discussed, as well as many new woodcuts, are among the addi- tions to this edition.
