Excerpt from A Popular Treatise on the Human Teeth and Dental Surgery: Being a Practical Guide for the Early Management of the Health and Teeth of Children; The Preservation of the Adult Teeth; Causes of Their Diseases; And Means of Cure; With Brief Observations on Artificial Teeth As long introductions are seldom read, we will simply remark, that to make this/ work what its title imports, we have confined our observations to whatever will be useful and interesting to the general reader, in the care of the teeth from infancy to old age; having passed rapidly over the natural history and description of these organs and their relative parts, and in fact, omitted all properly in this department which would be important only to its student.
