Excerpt from Irregularities and Diseases of the Teeth Of the following papers, the first two were published in the "Lancet." They were written, at the request of one of the staff of that paper, with the object of concisely explaining the causes, nature, and treatment of irregularities of the teeth - a class of affections with which many Medical Practitioners, in the absence of a Dentist, are called upon to deal, and with which they are consequently required to be properly acquainted. The requisite knowledge could previously be obtained only by a considerable study of Dentistry, and these papers were therefore designed to make the points of real importance clear, without the necessity of wading through a mass of uninteresting matter. The remaining papers were contributed to the "British Journal of Dental Science." They consist of reports of cases from my note-book, with passing comments on their pathology and treatment.
