Excerpt from Golden Rules of Surgery: Especially Intended for Students, General Practitioners, and Beginners in Surgery

The complete exhaustion of a large first edition demands the present issue.

Practically all that particularly relates to rules of surgery in the first edition is retained in this. Some parts have been altered or rejected to suit our changed viewpoint, and all have been rearranged. Several new chapters have been added because of additions to our knowledge in surgery.

The book is intended for students, general practitioners, and beginners in surgery. I am not persuaded that it is vastly more beneficial to learn a fact by searching for it in a volume than by seeing it in a line. In surgery I do not believe it best to let the student find out. all things for himself. Sixteen years' experience as a teacher convinces me that the short positive assertion is the most impressive.

Should any statement herein contained require later to be forgotten or unlearned, I ask to be forgiven and beg of you to remember that "there are exceptions to most rules."
