WALSH THE QUINN & GODEN CO. PRESS TO REVEREND DANIEL J. QUINN, S.J. The historical material here presented was gathered for my classes at Fordham University School of Medicine during your term as president of the University. It seems only fitting then, that when put into more permanent form it should appear under the patronage of your name and tell of my cordial appreciation of more than a quarter of a century of valued friendship. "When we have thoroughly mastered contemporary science it is time to turn to past science; nothing fortifies the judgment more than this comparative study; impartiality of mind is developed thereby, the uncertainties of any system become manifest. The authority of facts is there confirmed, and we discover in the whole picture a philosophic teaching which is in itself a lesson; in other words, we learn to know, to understand, and to judge."—LittrÉ: Œuvres d'Hippocrate, T. I, p. 477. "There is not a single development, even the most advanced of contemporary medicine, which is not to be found in embryo in the medicine of the olden time."—LittrÉ: Introduction to the Works of Hippocrates. "How true it is that in reading this history one finds modern discoveries that are anything but discoveries, unless one supposes that they have been made twice."—Dujardin: Histoire de la Chirurgie, Paris, 1774 (quoted by Gurlt on the post title-page of his Geschichte der Chirurgie, Berlin, 1898). |
