Excerpt from Contributions to Abdominal Surgery

Barnard's premature death is a loss to Surgery. From the commencement of his career on the Staff of the London Hospital, he was attracted to Abdominal Surgery, and his more important communications to various societies and to the medical papers dealt with this. His last work, on Subphrenic Abscess, published the year of his death, was universally recognized as a great advance on previous knowledge, and has done much to clarify our ideas on what is one of the most difficult subjects in this branch of Surgery; careful perusal of this work, putting into practice its teachings, will be the means of saving many lives.

Barnard had been working for several years at the subject of Intestinal Obstruction, and had planned an exhaustive treatise. The first - fruits of his work were his articles on Gall-stone Obstruction in the Annals of Surgery, embodied in his later work on this subject, and his lectures on Intestinal Obstruction at the Medical Graduates' College and Polyclinic. The book was put on one side while he was engaged on his article for Allbutt and Rolleston's " System of Medicine." It is only necessary to glance at the work to see what a tremendous amount of labour it involved; it is a mine of information and of personal observation.

A small committee, consisting of Mr. Hugh Barnard, Professor Arthur Keith, Dr. Cecil Wall, and myself, met on Harold Barnard's death to discuss the best form a memorial should take.
