    therefore, any addition to our knowledge of it cannot be deemed unimportant, the more especially as congenital and accidental luxations are frequently confounded. It has been my endeavour to make the style of the work as familiar and perspicuous as possible. Whatever deficiencies may exist in the descriptions of the various injuries alluded to, will, I trust, be found amply compen- sated for by the illustrations, for the accuracy of which I pledge myself. They have, with the exception of a few copied from other works, been drawn from nature under my own immediate inspection, by that distinguished artist, Mr. Connolly, whose name is a sufficient guarantee for their fidelity. They have been, with the exception of those contained in the fourth, seventh, and eighth chap- ters, engraved by Mr. George Hanlon, whose abilities are too well known to require any eulogium upon my part. To the Publishers, Messrs. Hodges and Smith, my best thanks are due, for the readiness with which they ac- ceded to all my wishes with regard to the work. Dublin, 63, Eccles-sreet, April, 1847.
