    treatises on subjects of great practical importance, as Stricture of the Urethra, Diseases of the Rectum, The Excision of Diseased Joints, etc. Also, under the head of Clinical Observations, will be found a record of numerous very interesting cases, accompanied by valuable practical commentaries. The object aimed at has been the association in one volume, with his Principles, of the most valuable of the author's numerous special contributions to the pathology and practice of Surgery. In conclusion, I beg to state that for the selection that has been made of these contributions, and for their arrangement in this volume, I alone am responsible. DONALD MACLEAN.
