PREFATORY NOTICE.
hope that the masterly treatment of Mr, Bagg has achieved as much as could be done by wood engraving. They have divided the subject in the manner indicated in the Table of Contents, and ave each individually responsible for the chapters which they have treated.
They conclude by expressing 2 hope that the vast extent of the subject, and of the material they had to deal with, will serve, in some measure, as an apology for the deficiencies which they are fully conscious of, and for which they ask the kind and lenient consideration of the Medical Profession.
