Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Natural History and Relations of Pneumonia: A Clinical Study
What those opinions are and how maintained I leave it for the book to show. Yet it must not be supposed that the pages which follow are given over to controversy. The discussion of what is and what is not pneumonia may easily lapse into an idle quarrel about words. Pneumonia is just what we agree to make it. It is but a term in itself insignificant, and ready for any use that may be required of it.
A personal bias in regard to the nature and relations of lung in?ammation must, indeed, of necessity shape and colour what is here set down, yet my single aim has been to describe what appears without afterthought, and, careless of names, to adopt such natural arrangement as might best suit the material to be provided for.
