Excerpt from Treatment of Fractures
However brilliant the triumphs of surgery may be and that they have been of surpassing splendour no one will be found to deny - experiences of the war have already produced a mass of facts sufficient to suggest the complete remodelling of our methods of education and research.
The series of manuals, which it is my pleasant duty to introduce to English readers, consists of translations of the principal volumes of the Horizon Collection, which has been appropriately named after the uniform of the French soldier.
The authors, who are all well-known specialists in the subjects which they represent, have given a concise but eminently readable account of the recent acquisitions to the medicine and surgery of war which had hitherto been disseminated in periodical literature.
No higher praise can be given to the Editors than to say that the clearness of exposition characteristic of the French original has not been lost in the rendering into English.
