Excerpt from General Pathology: Or the Science of the Causes, Nature and Course of the Pathological Disturbances Which Occur in the Living Subject IN making my preparations for the publication of an eighth edition of my Treatise on Pathological Anatomy, I hesitated for a long time in regard to what method of revision I should adopt. During recent years a number of manuals of pathological anatomy have been published, and the authors of these seem to have laid stress upon the point that a text book intended for the use of medical men should deal with the subject matter in the most concise manner possible; they believed, evidently, that compendious treatises of this nature would tend to promote the study of pathological anatomy, and would at the same time render the student's task easier. I carefully examined a number of compends of pathological anatomy which had been written from this point of view, but they failed to convince me that this was the most useful manner of treating the subject. In the first place, it is not possible, within the limits of a small compend, to treat general pathology and pathological anatomy in a scientific manner. _then, in the next place, it is extremely difficult, owing to the richness of the material at our disposal to avoid treating the subject in such a manner that the book, when completed, shall not present the Characteristics of a mere catalogue of facts, which would scarcely convey to the reader's mind a clear conception of the pro cesses that take place in the living body when it or any of its organs are diseased, and which, furthermore, would compel the beginner to merely commit to memory those things which, by the aid of his reasoning power, he should make a permanent and useful part of his medical knowledge.
