Author Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on Surgical Diseases, and the Operations Suited to Them, Vol. 1 Men of great celebrity are commonly so absorbed in the practice of their profession, that the world is usually indebted to others for the publication of their opinions. Baron Boyer is a happy exception to this remark, and his System of Surgery will, it is believed, enjoy the same rank in the nineteenth century, as those of Celsus, Heister, and Benjamin Bell, when they were severally published.
