Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on Kentucky Surgery, Read Before the Kentucky State Medical Society, at Its Annual Meeting at Louisville, Oct. 20, 1852
In the discharge of the onerous duty which I have assumed, I have endeavored to do justice to all to show partiality to none. If anything of importance has been omitted, it must be attributed to inadvertence, or to a want of cooperation on the part of my brethren in the profession, whose attention was prominently called to the subject, months ago, in a circular, in both of our medical journals, and in almost every respectable newspaper in the State.
I have sought information wherever I thought it was to be found. I have, written numerous letters to professional and non professional individuals, with a view of hunting up, or tracing out, cases of special interest or importance in surgical pathology and practice. I have consulted, for the same purpose, numerous medical journals, and even occasionally monographs and system atic treatises. In short, I have spared neither pains, trouble, nor expense, to do justice to my report.
