This manual serves as a comprehensive guide for medical students and practitioners, detailing various surgical operations with a focus on those that can be practiced on cadavers. The text is particularly aimed at providing clear, practical instructions for performing surgical techniques in an efficient and safe manner. The opening of the manual sets up a clear purpose for the text: to address the needs of students and junior practitioners who require guidance on surgical procedures. In the preface, Bell mentions his intention to provide simple yet thorough descriptions of operations, which would help medical professionals choose appropriate methods and understand the intricacies of surgical practice. He emphasizes that the text will not delve into historical details or very advanced techniques, but instead focus on the most commonly practiced procedures relevant for immediate application. The chapters that follow are organized methodically, beginning with fundamental procedures such as the ligature of arteries, and aim to build a foundation for effective surgical practice.
