Excerpt from On Rest and Pain: A Course of Lectures on the Influence of Mechanical and Physiological Rest in the Treatment of Accidents and Surgical Diseases, and the Diagnostic Value of Pain; Delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in the Years 1860, 1861, and 1862 When I was asked, a few months ago, to undertake the editing of this book, I agreed to do so in the hope that I might thus render a good ser vice to students, more especially to those at Guy's. Two years' experi ence of teaching in the dissecting-room has taught me that such a book might be pre-eminently useful to students, by proving to them, when engaged in the earlier drudgery Of dissecting, how useful the dry facts of anatomy will surely be hereafter; and later on by encouraging them, when busy in the wards, to keep up their knowledge of anatomy by apply ing to their practice the thoughtful lessons with which these pages abound.
