Excerpt from Manual of the Diseases Peculiar to Women

This work is produced after a prolonged study and extensive experience of the diseases peculiar to women. It is founded upon carefully observed facts, and as little superfluous matter as possible has been introduced. The details of operations have been purposely omitted, as the manual is intended more especially to meet the requirements of the general practitioner in his every-day work. No illustrations have been given, as these increase greatly the expense in production, and it is extremely doubtful whether they ever are, in this branch of medicine, of any practical utility.

Lavoisier said "one would never give anything to the world if he delayed doing so until he fully attained unto his ideal aims, which always seem more distant the more one increases one's efforts in the attempt."
