May14.1896 OCCASIONAL PAPERS ON MEDICAL SUBJECTS 1855-1896 BY W. HOWSHIP DICKINSON, M.D., F.R.C.P. HONORARY FELLOW OF CAIUS COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE CONSULTING PHYSICIAN TO ST GEORGE'S HOSPITAL AND TO THE HOSPITAL IBRARY LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. LONDON, NEW YORK, AND BOMBAY 1896 пр All rights reserved #117 755 1896 PREFACE. THE papers which have been brought together in this volume were written as opportunity occurred during the course of the last forty years. They touch upon many subjects, and offer a variety which should prevent their being uniformly uninteresting. To avoid needless repetition I have excluded for the most part those of which the chief matter has been incorporated in subsequent works. I have selected for republication some which purported to contain new observations, however slight, and others which had the object of presenting old conclusions for new considerations. A few of the later papers were put together with the design of their ultimately finding place in a collection such as this, while the last two have not before appeared in their present shape. The general system of arrangement has been chronological. Scattered as these opuscula have been among Transactions and periodicals, it is probable that some may have almost entirely escaped notice, and may present themselves even now with an air of novelty. For the use of those who have not read them and may care to do so, if such there be, I venture to present them in the form of a book. 9 CHESTERFIELD STREET, MAYFAIR. 112031 |
