Excerpt from Philadelphia Hospital Reports, 1893 The first volume of Philadelphia Hospital Reports, pub lished in 1890, met with a favorable reception, and has proved useful to members of the department, to the medical staffs. And to the community, and the publication of succeeding volumes is called for by the same interests. It would' be better if the vol umes could succeed each other annually, or at least every two years, but numerous unavoidable delays have prevented until now the issuing of this second volume. It contains less histor ical matter than the first, but some valuable additions have been made in the article on clinical teaching, in the biographical sketches of Dr. Agnew and of Miss Alice Fisher, in the account of cholera in the hospital in 1866, in the notes on the library, and in the chronological table of the medical boards. In suc ceeding Reports the historical and administrative data should be increased. The scientific material will compare favorably with that presented in the preceding volume, and also, we believe, with that found in the numerous hospital reports of Great Britain and continental Europe. The contributions, with the exception of the historical data and one or two papers, are based almost entirely upon work done in the hospital. In several instances the resident physicians have made interesting contributions, or have rendered valuable service to their visiting chiefs in the preparation of material. The portrait of Dr. Agnew was obtained through the courtesy of the J. B. Lippincott Company, having first appeared in con nection with a biographical sketch published in the International Medical Magazine. We are indebted to the superintendent of the Almshouse, to the physician-in-chief of the hospital, and to the secretary of the bureau of charities, for aid and courtesies, and also to Dr. A. C. Peale for valuable assistance while the volume was passing through the press. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
