    Some subjects, such, for instance, as cancer of the uterus, might have been more extensively revised, but it has been thought better, in view of the indefinite state of our Icnowledge upon them, to limit tlie alterations to correspond to that which is most settled and useful from a practical standpoint. The illustrations, over one hundred and fifty of which are new, have been carefully selected, a majority of them (excepting cuts of instru- ments) being from original drawings made especially for this edition. A large part of the work of revision and editing having been done by Henry T. Byford, M.D., I feel that an ordinary acknowledgment of his services would be inadequate; I, therefore, believe it only just to place his name on the title-page as one of the authors. Acknowl- edgment is also due to Dr. Eobert J. Hess, of Philadelphia, for his services in reading proof and preparing the indexes. We have endeavored throughout the book to give the proper credit to all workers in this field whenever referred to, but I wish here to render my general acknowledgment to all. W. H. B.
