Excerpt from The Journal of Laryngology and Otology, 1922, Vol. 37 With the advent of the present number, the Journal of Laryngology and Otology enters upon its second year under the new management inaugurated in January 1921, and the initial difficulties coincident with the change of Editorship and with the transference of publication into other hands have now been overcome. The financial position of the Journal, which has become the property of the profession whose interests it seeks to serve, has been strengthened by the formation of a Limited Liability Company, and a strong Editorial Committee has been elected, representative of the many and varied interests of the specialty in Great Britain and Ireland. It is gratifying to be able to record the large measure of support which the Journal has received during the past twelve months. The number of subscribers has steadily increased and the circulation of the Journal has, in consequence, become more widely extended. We are emboldened to predict that this will be still further developed during the present year. The attention of our readers is called to the fact that, although the scientific and clinical contributions which reach us are, in the main, the outcome of the observations and work of British laryngologists and otologists, our pages are accessible to all who may wish to contribute to the advancement of the specialty. It is our desire that the Journal should be thoroughly representative of the best which is produced by all the English-speaking peoples.
