    came from his hands, I have not felt myself justified in interfering with the distribution or division of the different subjects. Owing to these circumstances, and to the confusion attending the author's sudden decease, a large portion of the work has been hurried through the press without receiving the necessary revision, which wrill account for the large errata that I have appended. To those notes alone which might be thought not altogether connected with, the text, I have attached marks to distinguish them as having been inserted by myself. These chiefly refer to important opera- tions performed by the author, which it seemed due to his profes- sional memory, should be mentioned, and which, with many others, I trust at some future period to give more at length. I am not without hope, that with these, and a vivid recollection of his opin- ions, I shall be enabled to carry out the work to the extent originally contemplated. As now published, the chapters on the different sub- jects treated of are complete in themselves, and contain most of the important principles of Surgery. The Author's Preface and Dedication I have given exactly as I found them among his papers. J. H. B. M'CLELLAN, 248 Walnut Street.
