Excerpt from A Manual of Pathological Anatomy, Vol. 1 of 4

In issuing this portion of Rokitansky's Pathological Anatomy it is necessary to offer, on behalf of the Council of the Sydenham Society, some apology for the delay which has attended the completion of this important and voluminous work. In his interesting preface to the second volume, Dr. Sieveking has recorded one reason for the order in which the volumes have been published; but he has not adverted to the main consideration by which the Council was influenced, namely, the apparently well-founded hope that they might be enabled to present the Association with the histological portion of the work in a new and revised edition. Encouraged from time to time in this hope by the Author himself, the Council did not hesitate to defer, from year to year, the publication of the first volume, until they felt that it would be improper to tax the patience of the members any further. The new edition is still promised, but with no surer pledge for its early completion than heretofore! The Editor has, however, availed himself to a considerable extent of certain papers read by the Author before the Imperial Academy of Sciences at Vienna; namely, On the Structure and Growth of Cyst and of Cancers, &c.
