ON DERMATOLOGY; DELIVERED IN THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF ENGLAND IN 1876-1877-1878. INCLUDING DERANGEMENTS OF COLOUR OF THE SKIN; TOGETHER WITH BY ERASMUS WILSON, F.R.S., F.R.C.S., MEMBER OF COUNCIL, AND PROFESSOR OF DERMATOLOGY. THE present volume concludes the nine courses of Lectures delivered by the Author in the Royal College of Surgeons of England. The Chair of Dermatology was founded in 1869, and inaugurated during the following year; and the appointed course of six Lectures has been delivered annually in the months of January and February. With the course of 1878, the limitation of the Chair to Dermatology alone, will probably cease; it is intended to enlarge the scope of the endowment, and without excluding Dermatology from the field, to embrace original work in every department of surgical pathology. In the course of his pursuits, the Author had accumulated a considerable collection of objects, illustrating nearly every department of Dermatology; this collection became the property of the College on the endowment of the Dermatological Chair, and has served as the text of the Lectures which have just been concluded. The Author, as his original design, contemplated the review of the whole series of diseases of the skin; to this plan he has faithfully adhered, and the last course of Lectures completes |
