Notes: "The views put forward in this volume are those of the great Lyons school of surgeons ...  It is not within my province, nor is it my desire, to criticise them.  They have been widely discussed and are even now not accepted by many." - Editor's pref. to vol. I.

The contents of this volume are certain to give rise to considerable controversy.  The book emphasises the doctrine of the Lyons school that in septic fractures loose fragments are not only useless, but are a source of danger and should be removed ... at the earliest available opportunity.  This principle ... is widely opposed to the view prevailing among British surgeons." - Editor's pref. to vol. II.
