Abstract

In the minds of most physicians, the name of Sir Thomas Lewis has been intimately associated with electrocardiography and research in connection with heart disease. It is a surprise to some, therefore, to learn that he has written an eminently practical book concerning the commoner irregularities of the heart, and, further, that in this book he purposely avoids reference to the electrocardiograph and only rarely calls in the aid of any other instrument of precision. His aim is, in other words, to discuss these conditions from the noninstrumental standpoint, and to show that they may be recognized and understood by careful observation and logical reasoning if only the fundamental principles of cardiac physiology and pathology have been previously mastered. That he has been successful is proved by the fact that in fifteen years six editions of this book have been called for. In this edition the work has been brought
