Excerpt from The British and Foreign Medical Review, or Quarterly Journal of Practical Medicine and Surgery, Vol. 14: July-October, 1842
IT is generally understood that M. Lisfranc, in his own estimation, is the first surgeon of this or any other age. To the accuracy of this sweeping result, the profession at large wisely demuis; yet is not nu willing to admit that, since the death of Dupuytien, he has certainly no superior among the professors of operative surgery in the French capital, and that to his professional Opinions much respect must be at all times due. He has been for many years eminent as an hospital surgeon; it seems generally admitted that the extensive field for observation a¿'orded him in 1a Pitié has not been uncultivated; and when the results Of such experience are laid before us by his own will and deed - not by the fur tive or at all events subordinate pen of an Interne - they will deserve no hasty OI slight perusal, and are likely soon to engross a large share of public attention. We have, accordingly, lost no time in carefully Inves tigating the volume; and shall now endeavour to lay before our readers a practical digest of its contents, with such commentaries as the subjects naturally suggest.
