Excerpt from Sore Throat: Its Nature, Varieties, and Treatment, Including the Connection Between Affections of the Throat and Other Diseases Considerable additions have, however, been made to the work, which is so far rewritten as to coincide with the further experience acquired in the years that have elapsed since the last edition, during which favourable Opportunities for observation have been afforded me as physician to the Hospital for Diseases Of the Throat, as well as other public charities, one of them a Hospital for Consumption. Still, I am by no means unconscious of the shortcomings Of my work, though I venture to hope it will again be found useful to my professional brethren, and not altogether unworthy of the position their confidence has conferred upon me, and which it has always been my endeavour to deserve. No doubt the additions may be detected by their dif ference in style, especially as in making them no circum locution has been resorted to in order to avoid the use of the pronoun I. In extenuation Of this I might plead that professorial labour seems naturally to produce a tendency to employ dogmatic modes of expression. But, indeed, I am ready to admit that, at this date, I feel entitled to make assertions which twenty years ago it was natural to put in the more modest form Of suggestions. Moreover, as the first English worker with the Laryngoscope, it seems to me as well thus to signify my acceptance of such responsibility as may attach to my teaching.
