Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on the Diseases of Women: Delivered in Saint Bartholomew's Hospital These Lectures were originally published in the Medical Times and Gazette and in the Medical Examiner, at the request of the Editors. They are now reproduced in a separate form at the instance of the Publishers. The Lectures that appeared in the Medical Times and Gazette are almost word for word as given in the class-room, having been taken by a shorthand writer. Seven were first published in the Medical Examiner, from notes taken by Dr. Godson. I would not have brought them out in their present form had I not received suggestions and encouragement from professional brethren at home, and in France, Germany, and America. It will be obvious to the reader that the naming of authorities and literary references is avoided almost entirely, and this is done for good reasons. The chapters are Clinical Lectures to Students, and the whole object of the teacher was to increase the acquaintance of his pupils with disease. The teacher had no time for anything however slightly foreign to this purpose. Even if he had had time, the diver gence into historical details would, he believes, have detracted from the efficiency of his teaching. It must not be supposed that he attaches little value to authority and to literary detail, quite the contrary. Indeed, he makes much of such matters in his Systematic Lectures, where they find an appropriate place. He has to thank Dr. Godson for assistance in passing the work through the press. Finally, he expresses hope that Dr. Fordyce Barker will pardon the liberty he has taken of dedicating the work to him without previously asking his permission.
