Abstract

The advance in our knowledge of clinical medicine and medical research has moved with speed and brought discoveries that even the boldest of a previous generation would have hesitated to predict. Old fields of science have been widened, new opened, while a few have almost disappeared. We have no better record of how any particular medical field has evolved than our books and journals, and, hardly surprisingly, the output of these has been affected by the great expansion in medicine. I should therefore like to deal with the four main categories of medical books in turn before discussing editorial policy.
