Excerpt from A Manual of Pathological Anatomy, Vol. 3 of 4 The observation, that rokitansky has not availed himself of the writings of all British pathologists, may not be without some truth. His work is, however, abundantly original, and cannot fail of being yet more highly estimated in this country the more it is known. Were there no other proof of this, it might be found in the needless labour that is still incurred by some English pathologists to arrive at facts and Opinions which have been already ascertained, and already weighed, by rokitansky. From his work, as from a fresh starting-point, such labourers may advance to new discoveries, without the risk of having priority claimed by a foreign observer.
