PRINTED FOR ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK: 1835. THE EDINBURGH MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL. 1. JULY 1835. PART I. ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS. ART. I.-Clinical Report for the Winter Session 1834–35. By JAMES SYME, Esq. Professor of Clinical Surgery in the University of Edinburgh, and Surgeon to the Royal Infir mary. In the Reports which I formerly offered to the public through the medium of this Journal, my object was not merely to convey information of practical utility, but also to show the actual amount of practice in the Surgical Hospital which had been recently established. Cases were therefore selected, fully as much on account of their severity, or other circumstances rendering them of importance, as in respect to the instruction to be derived from them; and the detail with which ordinary operations were related might not unfrequently have incurred the charge of prolixity from practical readers, who were not aware of the peculiar circumstances under which these reports were undertaken. Having now no view but to communicate the observations tending to illustrate the practice of surgery, which my connection with the Royal Infirmary may enable me to collect, I shall not for the future think it necessary to notice any cases except those which afford subject of interesting or useful consideration.
