AUTHOR'S POSTSCRIPT TO VOLUME XI. With the present issue it is proposed to conclude my Archives Of Surgery, of which it will constitute the eleventh volume. With it I now give not only an index to the volume itself, but a collated index to the whole set of volumes, which will, it is hoped, prove a great convenience to the reader. In thus reluctantly and after long delay accepting the conclusion of my Work I have to offer a most sincere apology to my subscribers for the long interval which has occurred. With the exception of a few pages the whole of this number has been printed off for several years, and has been kept back only by my own indecision as to a formal announcement of conclusion, and preparation of the general index. A large amount of material had been prepared for a continuation of the work, and I was most unwilling to contemplate its termination. My two prolonged leprosy journeys, first in 1900 in South Africa, and secondly in 1902 in India, interrupted my plans, which various occurrences subsequently made it difficult to resume. Finally, in the present year, failure of health has made it a matter of necessity to relinquish all hope of continuing the work in any serial form. If in the future and during my lifetime the publication of any part of what is at present in hand, or of new material, should be made, it will be in the form of supplementary but quite separate volumes. Should such appear I shall take care that they are supplied to all who have subscribed to the series of past volumes, and must beg that they may be accepted as some slight acknowledgment of my obligation for their patience in the past.
