    TO THE EIGHTH EDITION. rpiIE Publishers, in preparing this, the first posthumous edi- tion of the late President Harris's Principles and Prac- tice of Dental Surgery, have spared no pains to make it in every way worthy of its own high reputation and that of its distinguished author. It has been subjected to a very thorough revision by compe- tent professional gentlemen, and will be found to contain many and important additions, bringing the work fully up to the pres- ent state of Dental Science and Art. The Publishers desire to acknowledge the valuable assistance rendered by Prof. Austen, to whom they are indebted for the entire chapter on Vulcanite, most of the chapter on Soldering, and much new matter in the chapter on Irregularity, and throughout the entire Mechanical Division of the work. They would also acknowledge important additions by Prof. Christo- pher Johnston, of the Baltimore College, a valuable section on Artificial Palates by Dr. William H. Dwindle, and a number of useful practical suggestions from Dr. Edward Maynard. The illustration of the work has been greatly improved. A few unimportant designs have been omitted; several others have been replaced by improved drawings, and many new illustra- tions have been added, for a large number of which they are indebted to the courtesy of Dr. Samuel S. White. The Publishers lay this edition before the Profession in the confident assurance that it will be found to be what its author designed it — a thorough elementary treatise, a text-book for the student, and a useful companion and guide for the practi- tioner, xi Philadelphia, September 1, 1863.
