Excerpt from The Diseases of the Nose and Its Accessory Sinuses In 1899 I was awarded the Jacksonian Prize for an Essay on "The Pathology, Diagnosis, and Treatment of the Inflammatory Affections of the Nose and its Accessory Sinuses and Air-cells." Some of the investigations for that work have been continued and amplified, the whole Essay has been thoroughly revised, and additional chapters have been added in the endeavour to make the present book a complete treatise on the Diseases of the Nose. It has been my aim to give a concise yet full account of the Diseases of the Nose and its Accessory Sinuses, more especially with reference to their Pathology and Treatment, and I trust that what I have written may be of service to those Practitioners and Senior Students who intend to devote special study to this subject. The chapters have not all been written upon a uniform plan. A systematic account has been given of subjects upon which there has been no recent controversy, and upon which no great divergence of opinion exists. On the other hand, I have not hesitated to devote considerable space to the consideration of doubtful points, and, whilst indicating my own views, I trust I have stated fairly the opinions of others. To increase the usefulness of the work, I have added at the end of each chapter a short bibliography, containing references to the more important recent contributions to the subject. Every endeavour has been made to keep this list as short as possible, and to include in it nothing but what the student who seeks fuller knowledge or more details upon any particular point may consult with advantage. Minor references are given as footnotes. To ensure greater accuracy, all the references have been carefully verified by Mr. Archibald Clarke. I must here acknowledge my great indebtedness to the following works, which have been frequently alluded to in the text: Morell Mackenzie, Diseases of the Throat and Nose. Vol. ii. London. 1884. Spencer Watson, Diseases of the Nose. 2nd Edit. London. 1890. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
