| Summary | "A Collection of Chirurgical Tracts" by William Beckett is a scientific publication written in the early 18th century. The work consists of various tracts that explore surgical practices and medical discoveries, focusing on topics such as wounds, cancers, and the history of venereal diseases. This compilation aims to present and reflect on Beckett's contributions to the field of surgery based on his extensive experience and observations. The opening of the text introduces readers to William Beckett's life and his notable accomplishments as a surgeon and member of the Royal Society. It outlines his intention to compile various previously published chirurgical pieces into a single collection as a means of documentation and contribution to medical literature. The start of the text also hints at the organization of the subsequent tracts, including discussions on wounds of the head and brain, cancer treatments, and the history of venereal diseases, laying the groundwork for a serious academic exploration of the surgical field in his time.
