Excerpt from On Retro-Peritoneal Hernia: Being the 'Arris and Gale' Lectures on 'the Anatomy and Surgery of the Peritoneal Fossae', Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1897 This volume contains the lectures which, as 'arris and Gale' lecturer, I had the honour of delivering at the Royal College Of Surgeons in February and March of this year. The subject of retro-peritoneal hernia has received less than adequate attention from English surgeons in the past. The condition is not an exceptionally rare one, for, in addi tion to the cases recorded, I have found a few undescribed specimens in the London museums. The photographs of all the specimens that exist in the museums of England and Scotland, so far as I have been able to ascertain, are placed at the end of the book. My attention was first drawn to the subject by a case which occurred at the Leeds General Infirmary some years ago. Several of those present at the post-mortem examina tion of this case attempted an explanation of the peritoneal conditions which existed. The discussion interested me, and ever since I have made, both in the dissecting-room and. When Opportunity occurred, in the post-mortem-room, a long series Of Observations. The result has been that I have been able to describe from actual, prolonged, and repeated Observa tion, a large number Of peritoneal fossaz, some of which had either escaped recognition altogether, or early descriptions of them had been lost sight of. In every case where a vestige of Old peritonitis has been present, I have omitted to make any record. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
