Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Principles of Surgery: Delivered at Bellevue Hospital Medical College
During the last fifteen years of his life Dr. Van Buren was Professor of Surgery in the Bellevue Hos pital Medical College, and for nearly twenty years previously he had been Professor of Anatomy and of Clinical Surgery in the University of the City of New York. His success was as great in this field as it was in others, and was earned by the most thorough and care ful preparation for every course and every lecture. It was always his practice to prepare a syllabus, and often to write out a lecture in full before its delivery. During the last years of his life he wrote and rewrote many of these lectures, arranged them, and added to them in such a way as to make them a systematic ex position of the subject as he sought to present it to his classes.
