a manner as is consistent with a treatment of the subject within a moderate compass. There is no doubt that the book is well written, and proceeds from one who has a thorough mastery of his subject and is therefore well qualified to teach it. It is essentially a pathological anatomy ; although the physiological side is entered upon when necessary, this is a subsidiary feature of the work. On most of the subjects treated, a good description, short but containing the essential points, of the pathological changes is found. The author has throughout avoided controversial subjects and the statement of conflicting views. The enumeration of pathological conditions with only a brief explanation?a necessary procedure to keep a book on pathology within moderate limits?is apt to render some parts of the subject difficult, especially to beginners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
