Excerpt from Diseases of the Nose and Its Accessory Cavities The present work was undertaken with the hope, that by condensing and systematising the vast mass of material, including original and quoted cases, new facts and observations, new remedies, descriptions and classifications of disease, all relating to the subject of affections of the Nose, a certain void in Medical Literature might be filled up, and a ready means of reference afforded to the busy medical practitioner. In systematic works on General Surgery and Medicine these various novelties are, as a rule, only lightly touched on, in consequence of other more important or more interesting matter claiming the space that would otherwise have been allotted to them. The only articles in the English language on the subject of Diseases of the Nose are those in Mr. Timothy Holmes' "System of Surgery," viz., one by the late Mr. Ure, in the first edition, and that by Mr. Durham, in the more recent editions. These articles, though most valuable and interesting in themselves, can only deal with the subject in a very brief and partial manner, and, from the necessary limitation of space, unavoidably omit much that may fairly find a place in a work devoted to the more limited field of Medical Science forming the subject of this Treatise.
