Excerpt from Practical Observations in Surgery: More Particularly as Regards the Naval and Military Service, Illustrated by Cases, and Various Official Documents

It must, however, be admitted, that the last century has added largely to the previous stock of general information; and no art or science has felt its beneficial influence in a higher degree than the science of Surgery. The different wars of defence or aggression in which the various States of Europe have been unhappily engaged for so many years past, have tended, extensively, to enlarge the boundaries of surgical science, and to give a decisive boldness and dexterity to the opera tive part, of which the most skilful of our predecessors at the commencement of the eighteenth century could form no idea.
