Hornsby, J: Modern Hospital

Excerpt from The Modern Hospital: Its Inspiration: Its Architecture, Its Equipment: Its Operation

This book has the tremendous weakness of being a record almost wholly of the experiences of two men, and the authors have seriously pondered the question of how far a discriminating public will be willing to follow the experiences of an individual through a book the size of this. In justification, it may be urged that the history of mankind is a composite of individual life stories, and it is only an infinitesimal number of these millions of members of human society who have here ventured to record their own experiences, not in the hope of permanent fame or glory, but merely with. The hope that there may be contained within its pages some new thought, or some old thought clothed in new garb, that may help some perplexed and tired worker, and if this shall come to pass, the book will not have been written in vain.
