    TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. aa tie During a visit to Paris some time since, by the Author, a vari of Surgical Instruments forced themselves upon his notice. Some them were curious from their novelty in the ingenuity displayed in tl construction, while the greater number recommended themselves chi as being the instruments used by those Surgeons of France and G many who had acquired eminence in the treatment of special classe: Surgical diseases. As most of them are comparatively unknown in this country, Author has published the present Manual in the belief that a W exhibiting their form, and explaining their use may be ser\dceabl< ^ the junior members of his profession. : I Such a work will enable them to understand more easily the pu] itnii cations of many of the continental Surgeons, whether in the original when quoted by English authors ; and may at the same time be us^ bitf in throwing out hints for the improvement or alteration of Instrumei ijep suited to the circumstances of individual cases. 3.- das
