The majority are acknowledged in foot-notes, or in the text. Some, whose labours have long since been established in surgical litera- ture, are omitted. Of more recent sources of original information, not hitherto gathered into a work of this kind, I may here more particularly mention my indebtedness to many of the elaborate treatises in the System of Surgery, by various authors, edited by Mr. T. Holmes. Thus, taking them in alphabetical order, I am under obligation to— Mr. Birkett, on Hernia and on Diseases of the Breast; Dr. Brown- Sequard, on Diseases of the Nerves; Mr. Holmes Coote, on Diseases of the Thyroid Gland; Mr. J. Dixon, on Diseases and Injuries of the Eye ; Dr. George Harley, on Apnoea; Mr. E. Hart, on Aneurism; Mr. Charles Hawkins, on Lithotrity ; Mr. Prescott Hewett, on Injuries of the Head; Mr. Hinton, on Diseases of the Ear; Mr. T. Holmes, on Aneurism, and on Diseases of the Bones ; Mr. T. K. Hornidge, on General Pathology of Fractures; Dr. G. M. Humphry, on Diseases of the Male Organs of Generation; Mr. Jonathan Hutchinson, on Surgical Diseases of Women ; Mr. Athol Johnson, on Diseases of the Joints; Mr. H. Lee, on Syphilis ; Dr. W. J. Little, on Orthopsedic Surgery; Mr. T. Longmore, on Gunshot Wounds ; Mr. C. H. Moore, on Cancer ; Sir James Paget, on Tumours; Mr. A. Poland, on Urinary Calculi and Lithotomy; Mr. G. D. Pollock, on Diseases of the Mouth and Alimentary Canal; Mr. S. James A. Salter, on Surgical Diseases connected with the Teeth; Mr. W. S. Savory, on Hysteria; Mr. A. Shaw, on Disease of the Spine ; Mr. J. Simon, on Inflammation; Mr. Henry Smith, on Diseases of the Rectum; Sir H. Thompson, on the Surgery of the Male Urinary Organs. I have also had recourse to other standard Treatises, recently published; and notably to—Hamilton, on Fractures and Dislocations; W. Adams, on Subcutaneous Surgery; Mr. R. Barwell, on Lateral Curvature of the Spine; Lockhart Clarke, on Tetanus; John Wood, on Rupture; Mr. Christopher Heath, on Diseases of the Jaws; Mr. Butcher's Operative and Conservative Surgery; Sir William Fergusson's Practical Surgery ; Curling, on Diseases of the Testis, and on Diseases of the Rectum. Many valuable Papers also in the Transactions of the Royal Medico- Chirurgical, and other Societies, have been levied; and Original Corn-
