Abstract
IN this volume Dr. Owen has published (by request) the Lettsomian Lectures delivered by him at the Medical Society of London in the present year. The position of Lettsomian Lecturer has been held by so many illustrious members of the profession that he seems to have undertaken with diffidence the task entrusted to him. The subjects with which he decided to deal have of late, as he says, been attracting considerable attention; and no one can doubt that they are of great practical importance. Dr. Owen discourses on them not only with learning, but with the directness, clearness, and force that spring from careful and long-continued observation.
Selected Subjects in connection with the Surgery of Infancy and Childhood.
By Edmund Owen (London: Baillière, Tindall, and Cox, 1890.)
