Summary : Excerpt from The Blood: A Guide to Its Examination and to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Its Diseases Our aim in writing this book has been to put in the hands of the students and practitioner a volume giving a concise and clear account of the diseases and diseased conditions of the blood and blood-forming organ, based on a large experience of them in clinical work and in the laboratory. We have for many years conducted post-graduate courses on the subject, and have learned how essential to a proper understanding of the blood and its diseases are a knowledge of pathology, and a clear idea of the relationship of the different elements of the blood to one another, and of their genesis. We have tried to keep our descriptions of these matters as simple as possible, and to avoid the excesses of differentiation and nomenclature in which some writers have indulged. Our explanations may not be finally correct, but we have at least found them serviceable to ourselves and others as working hypotheses, and our aim throughout has been rather to stimulate interest in a fascinating branch of study than to make a final, erudite, and conclusive exposition of the subject For this reason we have, in the section on methods, described fully those which we have found essential or useful, and in the case of those which we have felt to be less important have referred readers to the original sources of information. In the same way we have, so far as it is possible in a work of this kind, relied in our descriptions on our own clinical and pathological experience rather than on a collation of the views of others, and we have given only those references which seemed to us essential. It would indeed be impossible to give a full list of papers on such subjects as pernicious anaemia or the leukaemias, nor is it necessary to do so, as since 1904 the world's haematological literature has been collected and summarised in the Folia H matologica.
