    ADVERTISEMENT. 1 HE principal reason which has induced the Editor to repub- lish Cooper's Surgical Dictionary, is a belief that it con- tains more useful practical knowledge than any other work of equal extent hitherto made public. In the United States such a book has long been wanted. The great improvements which Surgery has received since the publi- cation of ;.nv regular system, render peculiarly desirable some accurate account of the present state of Surgical practice. The alphabetical arrangement adopted by Mr. Cooper gives to the present work the advantage of being readily consulted in cases of emergency; and as a book of reference for the younger members of the profession it is confidently recommended. The Editor has not taken the liberty to alter or omit a single word of Mr Cooper's book, but has enclosed in brackets [ such comments and additions as he has thought necessary or useful.
