Excerpt from Practical Lithotomy and Lithotrity, or an Inquiry Into the Best Modes of Removing Stone From the Bladder

I may premise that it is no part of my design to present a history of the means employed during the last 2000 years to remove stone from the human bladder. Neither is any portion devoted to discussions respecting the chemical and physical constitution of calculi, the causes of calculous formation, or the symptoms which the presence of stone in the bladder gives rise to; these subjects having, with the exception of causation, been fully and successfully exa mined.
