Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to General Pathology: Founded on Three Lectures Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons London, 1886
In 1885 the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons elected me to the post of Sir Erasmus Wilson Lecturer, and the occasion seemed a suitable one to bring my observations publicly before the profession. The three lectures delivered in that capacity in February of the present year form the basis of the present volume. The generalizations contained in these Lectures are the outcome of a very considerable experience. Since 1878 I have systematically examined the bodies of animals, from fish up to man. In addition I have had access during the past eight years to the post-mortem room of the Middlesex Hospital, as well as every facility for studying the excellent pathological collection contained in its museum.
