Observations On Surgical Diseases Of The Head And Neck PDF Download

Excerpt from Observations on Surgical Diseases of the Head and Neck: Selected From the Memoirs of the Royal Academy of Surgery of France The present small Volume, which the Council of the Sydenham Society did me the honour of appointing me to translate and edit, consists of a Selection from the Memoirs of the French Academy of Surgery. It seems desirable, while taking this opportunity for acknowledging the obligation thus conferred upon me, also to avail myself of it, for adding a few words respecting the original work and its authors, as also concerning the grounds on which the present selection has been made. The Royal Academy of Surgery, established in 1731, under the auspices of Louis XV, continued in action up to the commencement of the French revolution, and included in its ranks the ablest surgeons in France during that period, amongst whom we may enumerate Mareschal, J. L. Petit and his son, La Peyronie, Quesnay, Morand, De Garengeot, Le Dran, Foubert, Bordenave, Levret, Brasdor, Louis, and Sabatier.
