Excerpt from The Essentials of Pathology The object of this little book is to unfold to the beginner the fundamentals of pathology in a plain, practical way, and by bringing them within easy comprehension to increase his interest in the study of the subject. It is not, therefore, intended to supplant more pretentious works by allaying, but rather to lead up to them by kindling, a thirst for pathologi cal investigation. Some departures from the ordinary have been made in the arrangement of the work, but it is believed that they will conduce to a more thorough and easy under standing of the subjects treated. I have, in great measure, purposely avoided the discussion of unsettled questions, and have occasionally stated dogmatically that which admits of question. This has been done with a view to prevent con fusion in the mind of the student, and to impart clear-cut conceptions of the generally accepted doctrines of to-day. For the same reason I have avoided the slight detractions incident to bibliographical references, though, I fear, with questionable propriety. A very considerable experience in teaching, extending through some years past, leads me to hope that this effort will not prove barren of some good results.
