520			_a"Commentaries on the Surgery of the War in Portugal, Spain, France, and the Netherlands" by G. J. Guthrie is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work reflects on surgical practices developed during significant military conflicts from the Battle of Roliça in 1808 to the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, and includes insights from the Crimean War as well. It explores various surgical techniques, especially in relation to military injuries, and highlights advancements in surgical science prompted by war. At the start of this text, the author outlines the purpose and scope of his treatise, emphasizing the developments in surgical practice stemming from firsthand observations during the Napoleonic Wars and the Crimean War. The opening chapters delve into the nature of gunshot wounds, describing their characteristics and the recommended treatment approaches. Guthrie shares a wealth of clinical cases, offering practical advice based on experiences from the battlefield, which would have been critical knowledge for military surgeons of the time. He also discusses the principles of treating various injuries, the complications that arise, and the imperative for improved surgical education and practices in military contexts.
