    on the quotations from Sir Henry Thompson’s writings above alluded to, and the reader will have an opjior- tuiiity of judging for himself the meaning they convey, I cannot, with Sir Henry, disassociate Bigelow’s operation and the instruments employed. It reminds one very forcibly of the play of “ Hamlet ” without the leading character. It could scarcely have been expected that the instruments should be perfect on their first introduction, nor are they perfect now, though vast strides in this direction have lately been made, particularly by Sir Henry Thompson and Bigelow himself. With these introductory remarks, I shall now proceed to describe in detail the instruments required in the operation of litholapaxy.
