Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Surgical Pathology, Vol. 2: Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England; Tumours
Herein we seem to discern an essential difference be tween the overgrowths of tumours, and those accomplished by any exercise of the normal power of nutrition in a part. This power, capable of augmented exercise in any emergency, is yet not a mere capacity of production; neither is it dependent upon circumstances for the fashion of its products; identical with that which effected the development of the germ, it is equally bound to conformity with the proper type of the part or species in which it is exercised.
