Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Pathology: Delivered at the London Hospital
IN the end of last year Dr. Sutton decided to publish a revised and much enlarged edition of his Medical Pathology, and entrusted the preparation of the work to me, intending himself carefully to revise all the lectures before sending them to press. Unfortunately, although a considerable number of lectures were in his hands, he had been unable to find time to revise more than four before his death; these are the lectures on Cholera and Diarrhoea, Typhus Fever, Small-pox, and Dysentery.
When, after Dr. Sutton's death, it was decided that the preparation of the book should be continued, Dr. Wilks kindly undertook the necessary work of revision. He Wishes me to explain that his object has mainly been to ensure that the pathological terms are accurately used, inasmuch as errors might have crept in through repeated transcription. He has left the lectures, in matter and in manner, almost entirely in the form in which I sent them to him, this form being, as nearly as possible, that in which they were originally delivered.
