Excerpt from Notes on the Surgery of the War in the Crimea: With Remarks on the Treatment of Gunshot Wounds

The author, though for many reasons regretting the delay which has taken place in submitting the following pages to the public, is gratified however to find that his views and deductions have been so completely confirmed by the Government Report, and by the work of M. Scrive, both of which have appeared since his book has been printed.

It is with great deference that this little work is given to the public, but the writer does so under the conviction that some record of our surgical experience in the East is desirable, and he bases his own claim to a fair and impartial hearing, simply on his having had the good fortune to see so much of the surgeryr of the war, first at Constantinople and Scutari during the greater part of the early period when the patients were chie¿y treated there, and, latterly, in the Crimea during the last year of the campaign, when few cases left camp unconcluded.
