Excerpt from An Introduction to Pathology and Morbid Anatomy

The last edition of this text-book was so thoroughly revised by Mr. Stanley Boyd that my task in editing the present issue has been comparatively light. The rapid accumulation of facts, and the couse quent changes in opinion which have distinguished many departments of pathology, have, however, rendered it necessary that several new sections should be added, and several old ones rewritten or withdrawn. In making such changes as seemed advisable - and they occur on every page - I have adopted Dr. Green's concise and lucid sentences as my model, so that no disadvantages should accrue from the admixture of different styles of composition.

In view of the existence of many larger and more elaborate treatises on pathology, it has seemed unnecessary to burden these pages with precise references to original papers. I have, however, on several occasions referred the reader to articles likely to be within his imme diate reach.
