    Such then is my explanation : perhaps it would be better to say apology. I have received much help from many of Lister’s friends and from friends of my own. It is impossible to thank them all. But two deserve special recognition : Sir Hector Cameron, who has supplied invaluable information with regard to the birth of the antiseptic system in the early Glasgow days ; and Stephen Paget, my wise mentor, who has read every page, who has exercised his sound judgement on scientific questions, and whose refined literary taste has pointed out some of the pitfalls that beset the steps of amateur authors. R. J. GODLEE. 19 Wimpole Street, London, W., September, 1917. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION In this edition a few slight changes and additions have been made. One or two mistakes, chiefly of dates, have been corrected. The index is fuller. April, 1918.
