    PREFACE. This work is based on Lectures given at Bellevue IIosjDital, and in the Medical Department of the Univei-sity of the City of New York, and embodies the results of the author's experience in private practice and in the public institutions with which he has been connected. He has endeavored to write a handy-book on the pathogeny, clinical history, and treatment of some of the graver surgical diseases of the male urinary organs, which he hopes may be of service to the practitioner, by pointing out means for their early detection; for lessening the difficulties of their management; and indicating, in cases of emergency, what to do and what to avoid. Though the subject-matter is founded chiefly on personal observation, the claims and teachings of the many eminent men who have illustrated this department of surgery have not been overlooked. 56 West Thirty-eighth Stkebt, New York, February, 1873.
