Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Living New York Surgeons
It has not been the purpose of the author to state that his series of biographies em braced a complete list Of the distinguished living surgeons in this city, but merely to give an account Of some. It is with regret that he has been obliged to leave out the names of a few of our more prominent sur geons, from the Simple fact that they have positively refused to assist him in any form or shape, as regards furnishing the more im portant datas; lists Of original Operations, and such special theories as belong peculiarly to individuals, and cannot be known to the biographer Without in some respects the aid of the party concerned. It is hoped, however, that in another edition those equally deserving Of honorable mention will be duly recorded.
