Excerpt from A Collection of the Published Writings of William Withey Gull, Bart., M.D., F. R. S., Physician to Guy's Hospital It is hoped that no paper of importance has been omitted from the present volume, but it has been difficult to trace writings scattered through current medical literature over a period of more than forty years, since no list of them had been kept. Some of the papers which have been reprinted were originally published in collaboration with other writers, and this has in each instance been duly acknowledged.
