Synopsis

Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on Diseases of the Urinary Organs: Delivered at University College Hospital

I think it right to say that these Lectures were never committed to writing bv me. They were delivered in a colloquial style, after the arrangement of the subject had been well considered, and were reported verbatim by one of our best shorthand writers. The copy furnished by him was corrected, some of those tautologies which seem to be necessary in teaching removed, and then sent to the Lancet. But each Lecture still required more space than was avail able in the columns of a weekly journal, and I further reduced it, perhaps one-fourth. I now present, in one small volume, at the suggestion of, I may trulv say, nume rous correspondents, known and unknown to me, the cor rected copy in full, unchanged in form, and therefore unshorn of the familiarities which the conversational style peculiar - and, I believe, appropriate - to the class-room demands. And I do this, also, because I prefer that these Lectures, originally short, should not suffer any abbrevia tion, and because I desire to offer, not merely to the mem bers of my own clinical class, but to students at large, some of the fruit of a long and careful study in that field of prae tical medicine, in its widest sense, to which they relate.
