    ADVERTISEMENT. 1HE author of the following pages was led to select his subject from having witnessed at the Hospitals in London, the frequent use of a bistoury in lithotomy; and from a convic- tion, that it was an instrument superior in principle to any other he had seen used. But to have merely dwelt upon the merits of the knife, would not have afforded matter suffi- cient for an Inaugural Dissertation of reason- able length. He has therefore given a general history of the disease, for whose removal the instrument is proposed. He is sensible that much of this is mere selection; but he has endeavoured to quote from such authorities as are standard, and to adduce only such facts and observations as are of importance. These, he trusts, will compensate for any deficiency in his own remarks. Nassau-Street, Oct. 2, 1810.
