Excerpt from The Influence of Anesthesia on the Surgery of the Nineteenth Century

A prophetic utterance of Pott in one of his books is interesting: Many and great are the improve ments which the chirurgic art has received within the last fifty years; and much thanks are due to those who have contributed them; but when we refleét how much remains to be done, it Should excite our industry rather than our vanity. Our fathers thought themselves a great deal nearer to perfecftion than we have found them to be; and I am much mistaken if our successors do not in more instances than one wonder both at our inattention and ignorance.
