Most of Warren's work in surgery was done before the era of anesthesia, a fact which makes his contributions in this field the more remarkable. Surgical observations, covering the signs, pathology, and excision of tumors, is his best work and attests to the high degree of scholarship and investigation with which he approached his art. The sixteen colored plates are of special interest.
