Excerpt from A Manual of Pathological Anatomy, Vol. 3 of 4
A knowledge of the value of Professor Rokitansky's personal instructions increases my estimation of the honor of being called to translate and edit a portion of his writings. I take this opportunity of acknowledging that honour, which has been conferred upon me by the Council of the Sydenham Society, as well as of expressing my thanks for their kind acquiescence in my wish to undertake those chapters principally which relate to the practice of Surgery.
The Preface to the Second Volume, by my friend Dr. Sieveking, leaves nothing for those who follow him to add, except, indeed, the testimony of time, that such a work as Rokitansky's 'Pathological Anatomy' becomes increasingly valuable to those by whom it is used. But the portion on 'Special Pathological Anatomy' must be used, as it was written, less as an elegant essay on Disease than as a register of well-observed - well-weighed - well-arranged facts. It is not adapted for the merely classical reader, but is a companion for the museum or pathological theatre, - a Lexicon, in which each case, as it occurs and needs explanation, may be found already at hand and in its place. It is, therefore, an invaluable book of reference for those who, amid the hurry of practice, require prompt and complete information. It should be observed, however, that facts take prominence in it according to their general pathological import. Rare facts, when isolated, too often occupy undue attention; by Rokitansky they are dismissed, perhaps in a few lines, - curtly explained, yet perfectly, because placed in their true relation to other facts.
