Résumé :
Excerpt from A Treatise on Aneurism: With Numerous Additions, and a Memoir on the Ligature of the Principal Arteries of the Extremities

Other membranes an'd'aponeurotic layers which co b 2ver the artery, as well as the aneurismal sac, to com pare in succession, and in their natural situation, the texture and limits of all these membranous layers, in order to acertain, with clearness and precision, what share the proper coats of the artery have in the formation of the sac, and what is formed by the cel lular substance, which in the sound state forms a sheath to it externally, and by the other membranes and aponeuroses surrounding it. The uniform result ol' all these researches has been, that aneurism, in whatever part ofthe body it is formed, and from what ever cause it arises, is never occasioned by the dilata tion, but by the rupture or ulceration of the internal and muscular coats of the artery, and consequently that these coats have not the smallest share in the formation of the aneurismal sac.
