The Retrospect Of Practical Medicine And Surgery Vol 4 PDF Download

Excerpt from Retrospect of Practical Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 4 The increasing number of Medical Journals renders such work as this increasingly desirable to the busy practitioner. He will here find condensed almost every practical improvement and useful discovery which have been published in the numerous Medical Journals of Great Britain, America, France, and Germany; and in the daily perusal of these numerous sources of information, at first undertaken as an amusement as well as for professional improvement, but now more as a matter of business, the Editor cannot but cordially coincide with a remark once made by one of our most celebrated journalists, that "The multiplicity of subjects with which the mind of a medical man, who attempts to keep pace with the progress of his science, is constantly occupied, renders it desirable that ideas which are intended to be of practical utility to him should be submitted to his grasp in the smallest compass and most defined form of which they are capable" and the increasing sale of this work proves that the above observation is truly agreed to by a numerous body of intelligent men. From the increased size of the present volume, and from the additional expence of French and German Journals, the Editor has thought himself warranted in increasing the price of the work to a very small amount: and, moreover, as the sale of the work increases, and other sources of information are opened, the work can be afterwards increased in size considerably, without any further increase of price, the additional sale making up for increase of expence in conducting the work.
