HENRY C. LE A'S (late lea & Blanchard's) CLASSIFIED OATALOGDE O F MEDICAL AND SURGICAL PUBLICATIONS. In asking the attention of the profession to the works contained in the following pages, the publisher would state that no pains are spared to secure a continuance of the confidence earned for the publications of the house by their careful selection and accuracy and finish of execution. It will be observed that the prices during the last four years have not been advanced in proportion to the increased cost of manufacture, and there is no probability of a decrease of cost that will warrant a reduction during the coming season. The printed prices are those at which books can generally be supplied by booksellers throughout the United States, who can readily procure for their customers any works not kept in stock. . Where access to bookstores is not convenient, books will be sent by mail post-paid on receipt of the price, but no risks are assumed either on the money or the books, and no publications but my own are supplied. Gentlemen will therefore in most cases find it more convenient to deal with the nearest bookseller. An Illustrated Catalogue, of 64 octavo pages, handsomely printed, will be for- warded by mail, postpaid, on receipt of ten cents. HENRY C. LEA. Nos. 706 and 708 Sansom St., Philadelphia, May, 1867.

(ALL FREE OF POSTAGE.) In thus offering for 1867, at a price unprecedentedly low, this vast amount of valu- able practical matter, the publisher felt that he could only be saved from loss by an extent of circulation hitherto unknown in the annals of medical journalism. It is Gentlemen receiving this Catalogue would confer a favor on the Pub- lisher by communicating it to their professional friends. 2 Henry C. Lea's Publications-(Am. Journ. Med. Sciences'). therefore with much gratification that he is enabled to state that the marked appro- bation of the profession, as evinced in the steady increase of the subscription list, promises to render the enterprise a permanent one. He is happy to acknowledge the valuable aid rendered by subscribers who have kindly made known among their friends the advantages thus offered, and he confidently anticipates a continuance of the same friendly interest, which, by enlarging the circulation of these periodicals, will enable him to maintain them at the unexampled rate at which they are now supplied. Ar- rangements have been made in London by which " Banking's Abstract" will be issued here almost simultaneously with its appearance in England: and, with the cooperation of the profession, the publisher trusts to succeed in his endeavor to lay on the table of every reading practitioner in the United States a monthly, a quarterly, and a half- yearly periodical at the comparatively trifling cost of Six Dollars per annum. These periodicals are universally known for their high professional standing in their several spheres. I. THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES, Edited by ISAAC HAYS, M. D., is published Quarterly, on the first of January, April, July, and October. Each number contains nearly three hundred large octavo pages, appropriately illustrated, wherever necessary. It has now been issued regularly for over forty years, during nearly the whole of which time it has been under the control of the present editor. Throughout this long period, it has maintained its position in the highest rank of medical periodicals both at home and abroad, and has received the cordial support of the entire profession in this country. Among its Collaborators will be found a large number of the most distinguished names of the profession in every section of the United States, rendering the department devoted to full of varied and important matter, of great interest to all practitioners. Thus, during 1866, contributions have appeared in its pages from the following gentlemen.* ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS H. ALLEN, M. D., Asst. Surg. U. S. A. JOHN ASHHURST, Jr., M. D , Philadelphia.

Following this is the "Review Department," containing extended and impartial reviews of all important new works, together with numerous elaborate "Biblio- graphical Notices" of nearly all the publications of the day. This is followed by the " Quarterly Summary of Improvements and Discoveries in the Medical Sciences," classified and arranged under different heads, presenting a very complete digest of all that is new and interesting to the physician, abroad as well as at home. Thus, during the year 1866, the "Journal" furnished to its subscribers One Hundred and Twenty Original Communications, Sixty-five Reviews and Biblio- graphical Notices, and Two Hundred and Thirty-two articles in the Quarterly Sum- maries, making a total of over Four Hundred articles emanating from the best pro- fessional minds in America and Europe. To old subscribers, many of whom have been on the list for twenty or thirty years, the publisher feels that no promises for the future are necessary; but gentlemen who may now propose for the first time to subscribe may rest assured that no exertion will be spared to maintain the "Journal" in the high position which it has so long occu- pied as a national exponent of scientific medicine, and as a medium of intercommu- nication between the profession of Europe and America-to render it, in fact, neces- sary to every practitioner who desires to keep on a level with the progress of his science. The subscription price of the "American Journal of the Medical Sciences" has never been raised, during its long career. It is still Five Dollars per annum in ad- vance, for which sum the subscriber receives in addition the "Medical News and Library," making in all about 1500 large octavo pages per annum, free of postage. II. THE MEDICAL NEWS AND LIBRARY is a monthly periodical of Thirty-two large octavo pages, making 384 pages per annum. Its "News Department" presents the current information of the day, with Clinical Lectures and Hospital Gleanings; while the " Library Department" is de- voted to publishing standard works on the various branches of medical science, paged separately, so that they can be removed and bound on completion. In this manner subscribers have received, without expense, such works as "Watson's Practice," "Todd and Bowman's Physiology," "West on Children," "Malgaigne's Surgery," &c. &c. Professor Erichsen's new and valuable practical work " On Railway and other Injuries of the Nervous System," commenced in the number for January, 1867, will be completed in June, and with July will be commenced "Hudson's Lec- tures on the Study of Fever." As stated above, the subscription price of the "Medical News and Library" is One Dollar per annum in advance; and it is furnished without charge to all sub scribers to the "American Journal of the Medical Sciences." 4 Henry C. Lea's Publications-(Am. Journ. Med. Sciences'). III. RANKING'S ABSTRACT OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES is issued in half-yearly volumes, which will be delivered to subscribers about the first of August, and first of February. Each volume contains about 300 closely printed octavo pages, making six hundred pages per annum. "Banking's Abstract" has now been published in England regularly for more than twenty years, and has acquired the highest reputation for the ability and industry with which the essence of medical literature is condensed into its pages. It purports to be "An Analytical and Critical Digest of the principal British and Continental Medical Works published in the preceding Six Months," and, in addition to the matter thus derived from independent treatises, it presents an abstract of all that is impor- tant or interesting in about sixty British and Continental journals. Each article is carefully condensed, so as to present its substance in the smallest possible compass, thus affording space for the very large amount of information laid before its readers. The January volume, for instance, thus contained THIRTY-FOUR ARTICLES ON GENERAL QUESTIONS IN MEDICINE. FIFTY-TWO ARTICLES ON SPECIAL QUESTIONS IN MEDICINE. SIX ARTICLES ON GENERAL QUESTIONS IN SURGERY. TWENTY-EIGHT ARTICLES ON SPECIAL QUESTIONS IN SURGERY. TWENTY ARTICLES ON MIDWIFERY, &o. SEVENTEEN ARTICLES ON MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS. SIXTY-THREE REVIEWS AND BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES. TWO ARTICLES IN APPENDIX. Making in all two hundred and twenty-two articles, or over four hundred per annum. Each volume, moreover, is systematically arranged with an elaborate Table of Con- tents and a very full Index, thus facilitating the researches of the reader in pursuit of particular subjects, and enabling him to refer without loss of time to the vast amount of information contained in its pages. The subscription price of the "Abstract," mailed free of postage, is Two Dollars and a Half per annum, payable in advance. Single volumes, $1 50 each. As stated above, however, it will be supplied in conjunction with the "American Journal of the Medical Sciences" and the "Medical News and Library," the whole free of postage, for Six Dollars per annum in advance. For this small sum the subscriber will therefore receive three periodicals, Jach of the highest reputation in its class, containing in all over two thousand pages of the choicest reading, and presenting a complete view of medical progress throughout the world. In this effort to bring so large an amount of practical information within the reach of every member of the profession, the publisher confidently anticipates the friendly aid of all who are interested in the dissemination of sound medical literature. He trusts, especially, that the subscribers to the "American Medical Journal" will call the attention of their acquaintances to the advantages thus offered, and that he will be sustained in the endeavor to permanently establish medical periodical literature on a footing of cheapness never heretofore attempted. ** Gentlemen desiring to avail themselves of the advantages thus offered will do well to forward their subscriptions at an early day, in order to insure the receipt of complete sets for the year 1867. jgg" The safest mode of remittance is by postal money order, drawn to the order of the undersigned. Where money order post-offices are not accessible, remittances for the "Journal" may be made at the risk of the publisher, by taking the postmaster's certificate of the inclosure and forwarding of the money.

Lea's Publications-(Dictionaries'). 5 JJUNGLISON {ROBLEY}, MD; Professor of Institutes of Medicine in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. MEDICAL LEXICON; A Dictionary of Medical Science: Con- taining a concise explanation of the various Subjects and Terms of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Hygiene, Therapeutics, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Surgery, Obstetrics, Medical Jurisprudence, and Dentistry. Notices of Climate and of Mineral Waters; Formulae for Officinal, Empirical, and Dietetic Preparations; with the Accentuation and Etymology of the Terms, and the French and other Synonymes; so as to constitute a French as well as English Medical Lexicon. Thoroughly Revised, and very greatly Modified and Augmented. In one ve>ry large and handsome royal octavo volume of 1048 double-columned pages, in small type; strongly done up in extra cloth, $6 00 ; leather, raised bands, $6 75. The object of the author from the outset has not been to make the work a mere lexicon or dictionary of terms, but to afford, under each, a condensed view of its various medical relations, and thus to render the work an epitome of the existing condition of medical science. Starting with this view, the immense demand which has existed for the work has enabled him, in repeated revisions, to augment its completeness and usefulness, until at length it has attained the position of a recognized and standard authority wherever the language is spoken. The mechanical exe- cution of this edition will be found greatly superior to that of previous impressions. By enlarging the size of the volume to a royal octavo, and by the employment of a small but clear type, on extra fine paper, the additions have been incorporated without materially increasing the bulk of the volume, and the matter of two or three ordinary octavos has been compressed into the space of one not unhandy for consultation and reference. It would be a work of supererogation to bestow a word of praise upon this Lexicon. We can only wonder at the labor expended, for whenever we refer to its pages for information we are seldom disap- pointed in finding all we desire, whether it be in ac- centuation, etymology, or definition of terms.-New York Medical Journal, November, 1865. It would be mere waste of words in us to express our admiration of a work which is so universally and deservedly appreciated. The most admirable work of its kind in the English language. As a book of reference it is invaluable to the medical practi- tioner, and in every instance that we have turned over its pages for information we have been Charmed by the clearness of language and the accuracy of detail with which each abounds. We can most cor- dially and confidently commend it to our readers.- Glasgow Medical Journal, January, 1866. A work to which there is no equal in the English language.-Edinburgh Medical Journal. It is something more than a dictionary, and some- thing less than an encyclopaedia. This edition of the well-known work is a great improvement on its pre- decessors. The book is one of the very few of which it may be said with truth that every medical man should possess it.-London Medical Tinies, Aug. 26, 1865. Few works of the class exhibit a grander monument of patient research and of scientific lore. The extent of the sale of this lexicon is sufficient to testify to its usefulness, and to the great service conferred by Dr. Kobley Dunglison on the profession, and indeed on others, by its issue.;-London Lancet, May 13, 1865. The old edition, which is now superseded by the new, has been universally looked upon by the medi- cal profession as a work of immense research, and great value. The new has increased usefulness ; for medicine, in all its branches, has been making such progress that many new terms and subjects have re- cently been introduced : all of which may be found fully defined in the present edition. We know of no other dictionary in the English language that can bear a comparison with it in point of completeness of subjects and accuracy of statement.-N. Y. Drug- gists' Circular, 1865. For many years Dunglison's Dictionary has been the standard book of reference with most practition- ers in this country, and we can certainly commend this work to the renewed confidence and regard of our readers.-Cincinnati Lancet, April, 1865. It is undoubtedly the most complete and useful medical dictionary hitherto published in this country. -Chicago Med. Examiner, February, 1S65. What we take to be decidedly the best medical dic- tionary in the English language. The present edition is brought fully up to the advanced state of science. For many a long year "Dunglison" has been at our elbow, a constant companion and friend, and we greet him in his replenished and improved form with' especial satisfaction.-Pacific Med. and Surg. Jour- nal, June 27, 1865. This is, perhaps, the book of all others which the physician or surgeon should have on his shelves. It is more needed at the present day than a few years back.-Canada Med. Journal, July, 1865. It deservedly stands at the head, and cannot be surpassed in excellence.-Buffalo Med. and Surg. Journal, April, 1865. We can sincerely commend Dr. Dunglison's work as most thorough, scientific, and accurate. We have tested it by searching its pages for new terms, which have abounded so much of late in medical nomen- clature, and our search has been successful in every instance. We have been particularly struck with the fulness of the synonymy and the accuracy of the de- rivation of words. It is as necessary a work to every enlightened physician as Worcester's English Dic- tionary is to every one who would keep up his know- ledge of the English tongue to the standard of the present day. It is, to our mind, the most complete work of the kind with which we are acquainted.- Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, June 22, 1865. We are free to confess that we know of no medical dictionary more complete; no one better, if so well adapted for the use of the student; no one that may be consulted with more satisfaction by the medical practitioner.-Awi. Jour. Med. Sciences, April, 1865. The value of the present edition has been greatly enhanced by the introduction of new subjects and terms, and a more complete etymology and accentua- tion, which renders the work not only satisfactory and desirable, but indispensable to the physician. Chicago Med. Journal, April, 1865. No intelligent member of the profession can or will be without it.-St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal April, 1865. It has the rare merit that it certainly has no rival in the English language for accuracy and extent of references.-London Medical Gazette. JJOBLYN {RICHARD D.), M.D. A DICTIONARY OF THE TERMS USED IN MEDICINE AND THE COLLATERAL SCIENCES. A new American edition, revised, with numerous additions, by Isaac Hays, M.D., Editor of the "American Journal of the Medical Sciences." In one large royal 12mo. volume of over 500 double-columned pages; extra cloth, $1 50 ; leather, $2 00. It is the best book of definitions we have, and ought always to be upon the student's table.- Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. 6 Henry C. Lea's Publications-{Manuals). J^EILL (JOHN), M.D., and UMITH (FRANCIS G.), M.D., Prof, of the Institutes of Medicine in the Univ, of Penna. AN ANALYTICAL COMPENDIUM OF THE VARIOUS BRANCHES OF MEDICAL SCIENCE ; for the Use and Examination of Students. A new edition, revised and improved. In one very large and handsomely printed royal 12mo. volume, of about one thousand pages, with 374 wood cuts, extra cloth, $4; strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, $4 75. The Compend of Drs. Neill and Smith is incompara- bly the most valuable work of its class ever published in this country. Attempts have been made in various quarters to squeeze Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, the Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia Medica, and Chemistry into a single manual; but the opera- tion has signally failed in the hands of all up to the advent of " Neill and Smith's" volume, which is quite a miracle of success. The outlines of the whole are admirably drawn and illustrated, and the authors are eminently entitled to the grateful consideration of the student of every class.-N. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal. This popular favorite with the student is so well known that it requires no more at the hands of a medical editor than the annunciation of a new and improved edition. There is no sort of comparison between this work and any other on a similar plan, and for a similar object.-Nash. Journ of Medicine. There are but few students or practitioners of me- dicine unacquainted with the former editions of this unassuming though highly instructive work. The whole science of medicine appears to have been sifted, as the gold-bearing sands of El Dorado, and the pre- cious facts treasured up in this little volume. A com- plete portable library so condensed that the student may make it his constant pocket companion.- West- ern Lancet. To compress the whole science of medicine in less than 1,000 pages is an impossibility, but we think that the book before us approaches as near to it as is pos- sible. Altogether, it is the best of its class, and has met with a deserved success. As an elementary text- book for students, it has been useful, and will con- tinue to be employed in the examination of private classes, whilst it will often be referred to by the country practitioner.-Fa. Med. Journal. As a handbook for students it is invaluable, con- taining in the most condensed form the established facts and principles of medicine and its collateral sciences.-N. H. Journal of Medicine. In the rapid course of lectures, where work for the students is heavy, and review necessary for an exa- mination, a compend is not only valuable, but it is almost a sine qua non. The one before us is, in most of the divisions, the most unexceptionable of all books of the kind that we know of. The newest and sound- est doctrines and the latest improvements and dis- coveries are explicitly, though concisely, laid before the student. Of course it is useless for us to recom- mend it to all last course students, but there is a class to whom we very sincerely commend this Cheap book as worth its weight in silver-that class is the gradu- ates in medicine of more than ten years' standing, who have not studied medicine since. They will perhaps find out from it that the science is not ex- actly now what it was when they left it off.-The Stethoscope. Having made free use of this volume in our exami- nations of pupils, we can speak from experience in recommending it as an admirable compend for stu- dents, and especially useful to preceptors who exam- ine their pupils. It will save the teacher much labor by enabling him readily to recall all of the points upon which his pupils should be examined. A work of this sort should be in the hands of every one who takes pupils into his office with a view of examining them ; and this is unquestionably the best of its class. Let every practitioner who has pupils provide himself with it, and he will find the labor of refreshing his knowledge so much facilitated that he will be able to do justice to his pupils at very little cost of time or trouble to himself.-Transylvania Med. Journal. TOD LOW (J. L.), M.D., A MANUAL OF EXAMINATIONS upon Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia Medica, Chemistry, Pharmacy, and Therapeutics. To which is added a Medical Formulary. Third edition, thoroughly revised and greatly extended and enlarged. With 370 illustrations. In one handsome royal 12mo. volume of 816 large pages, extra cloth, $3 25; leather, $3 75. The arrangement of this volume in the form of question and answer renders it especially suit- able for the office examination of students, and for those preparing for graduation. We know of no better companion for the student during the hours spent in the lecture-room, or to re- fresh, at a glance, his memory of the various topics crammed into his head by the various professors to whpm he is compelled to listen.- Western Lancet. As it embraces the whole range of medical studies it is necessarily voluminous, containing 816 large duodecimo pages. After a somewhat careful exami- nation of its contents, we have formed a much more favorable opinion of it than we are wont to regard such works. Although well adapted to meet the wants of the student in preparing for his final examination, it might be profitably consulted by the practitioner also, who is most apt to become rusty in the very kind of details here given, and who, amid the hurry of his daily routine, is but too prone to neglect the study of more elaborate works. The possession of a volume of this kind might serve as an inducement for him to seize the moment of excited curiosity to inform him- self on any subject, and which is otherwise too often allowed to pass unimproved.-St. Louis Med. and Sura. Journal. q^ANNER (THOMAS HAWKES), M D., A MANUAL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE AND PHYSICAL DIAG- NOSIS. Third American, from the second enlarged and revised English edition. To which is added The Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association. In one hand- some volume 12mo. ^Preparing for early publication.) This work, after undergoing a very thorough revision at the hands of the author, may now be expected to appear shortly. The title scarcely affords a proper idea of the range of subjects em- braced in the volume, as it contains not only very full details of diagnostic symptoms properly classified, but also a large amount of information on matters of every day practical importance, not usually touched upon in the systematic works, or scattered through many different volumes. Henry C. Lea's Publications-(Anatomy). QKAY (HENRY), F. R. S., Lecturer on Anatomy at St. George's Hospital, London. ANATOMY, DESCRIPTIVE AND SURGICAL. The Drawings by H. V. Carter, M. D., late Demonstrator on Anatomy at St. George's Hospital; the Dissec- tions jointly by the Author and Dr. Carter. Second American, from the second revised and improved London edition. In one magnificent imperial octavo volume, of over 800 pages, with 388 large and elaborate engravings on wood. Price in extra cloth, $6 00; leather, raised bands, $7 00. The author has endeavored in this work to cover a more extended range of subjects than is cus- tomary in the "ordinary text-books; by giving not only the details necessary for the student, but also the application of those details in the practice of medicine and surgery, thus rendering it both a guide for the learner, and an admirable work of reference for the active practitioner. The en- gravings form a special feature in the work, many of them being the size of nature, nearly all original, and having the names of the various parts printed on the body of the cut, in place of figures of reference, with descriptions at the foot. They thus form a complete and splendid series, which will greatly assist the student in obtaining a clear idea of Anatomy, and will also serve to refresh the memory of those who may find in the exigencies of practice the necessity of recalling the details of the dissecting room; while combining, as it does, a complete Atlas of Anatomy, with a thorough treatise on systematic, descriptive, and applied Anatomy, the work will be found of essential use to all physicians who receive students in their offices, relieving both preceptor and pupil of much labor in laying the groundwork of a thorough medical education. Notwithstanding its exceedingly low price, the work will be found, in every detail of mechanical execution, one of the handsomest that has yet been offered to the American profession; while the careful scrutiny of a competent anatomist has relieved it of whatever typographical errors existed in the English edition. 7 Thus it is that book after book makes the labor of the student easier than before, and since we have seen Blanchard & Lea's new edition of Gray's Ana- tomy, certainly the finest work of the kind now ex- tant, we would fain hope that the bugbear of medical students will lose half its horrors, and this necessary foundation of physiological science will be much fa- cilitated and advanced.-X O. Med. News. The various points illustrated are marked directly on the structure; that is, whether it be muscle, pro- cess, artery, nerve, valve, etc. etc.-we say each point is distinctly marked by lettered engravings, so that the student perceives at once each point described as readily as if pointed out on the subject by the de- monstrator. Most of the illustrations are thus ren- dered exceedingly satisfactory, and to the physician they serve to refresh the memory with great readiness and with scarce a reference to the printed text. The surgical application of the various regions is also pre- sented with force and clearness, impressing upon the student at each step of his research all the Important relations of the structure demonstrated.-Cincinnati Lancet. This is, we believe, the handsomest book on Ana- tomy as yet published in our language, and bids fair to become in a short time the standard text-book of our colleges and studies. Students and practitioners will alike appreciate this book. We predict for it a bright career, and are fully prepared to endorse the statement of the London LancA, that "We are not acquainted with any work in any language which can take equal rank with the one before us." Paper, printing, binding, all are excellent, and we feel that a grateful profession will not allow the publishers to go unrewarded.-Nashville Med. and Surg.

A new and revised American, from the last and enlarged English edition. Edited by W. H. Go- brecht, M. D., Professor of General and Surgical Anatomy in the Medical College of Ohio. Illustrated with three hundred and ninety-seven engravings on wood. In one large and handsome octavo volume, of over 600 large pages ; extra cloth, $4 00; leather, $5 00. The publisher trusts that the well-earned reputation of this long-established favorite will be more than maintained by the present edition. Besides a very thorough revision by the author, it has been most carefully examined by the editor, and the efforts of both have been directed to in- troducing everything which increased experience in its use has suggested as desirable to render it a complete text-book for those seeking to obtain or to renew an acquaintance with Human Ana- tomy. The amount of additions which it has thus received may be estimated from the fact that the present edition contains over one-fourth more matter than the last, rendering a smaller type and an enlarged page requisite to keep the volume within a convenient size. The author has not only thus added largely to the work, but he has also made alterations throughout, wherever there appeared the opportunity of improving the arrangement or style, so as to present every fact in its most appropriate manner, and to render the whole as clear and intelligible as possible. The editor has exercised the utmost cautiori to obtain entire accuracy in the text, and has largely increased the number of illustrations, of which there are about one hundred and fifty more in this edition than in the last, thus bringing distinctly before the eye of the student everything of interest or importance.

The object of this work is to present to the anatomical student a clear and concise description of that which he is expected to observe in an ordinary course of dissections. The author has endeavored to omit unnecessary details, and to present the subject in the form which many years' experience has shown him to be the most convenient and intelligible to the student. In the revision of the present edition, he has sedulously labored to render the volume more worthy of the favor with which it has heretofore been received. J^ACLISE {JOSEPH). SURGICAL ANATOMY. By Joseph Maclise, Surgeon. In one volume, very large imperial quarto; with 68 large and splendid plates, drawn in the best style and beautifully colored, containing 190 figures, many of them the size of life; together with copious explanatory letter-press. Strongly and handsomely bound in extra cloth. Price $14 00. As no complete work of the kind has heretofore been published in the English language, the present volume will supply a want long felt in this country of an accurate and comprehensive Atlas of Surgical Anatomy, to which the student and practitioner can at all times refer to ascer- tain the exact relative positions of the various portions of the human frame towards each other and to the surface, as well as their abnormal deviations. The importance of such a work to the student, in the absence of anatomical material, and to practitioners, either, for consultation in emergencies or to refresh their recollections of the dissecting room, is evident. Notwithstanding the large size, beauty and finish of the very numerous illustrations, it will be observed that the price is so low as to place it within'the reach of all members of the profession. We know of no work on surgical anatomy which can compete with it.-Lancet. The work of Maclise on surgical anatomy is of the highest value. In some respects, it is the best publi- cation of its kind we have seen, and is worthy of a place in the library of any medical man, while the student could scarcely make a better investment than this.-The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. No such lithographic illustrations of surgical re- gions have hitherto, we think, been given. While the operator is shown evei'y vessel and nerve where an operation is contemplated, the exact anatomist is refreshed by those clear and distinct dissections, which every one must appreciate who has a particle of enthusiasm. The English medical press has quite exhausted the words of praise, in recommending this admirable treatise. Those who have any curiosity to gratify, in reference to the perfectibility of the lithographic art in delineating the complex mechan- ism of the human body, are invited to examine our specimen copy. If anything will induce surgeons and students to patronize a book of such rare value and everyday importance to them, it will be a survey of the artistical skill exhibited in these fac-similes of nature.-Boston Med. and Surg.

The highest compliment that can he extended to this great work of Dr. Carpenter is to call attention to this, another new edition, which the favorable regard of the profession has called for. Carpenter is the standard authority on physiology, and no physi- cian or medical student will regard bis library as complete without a copy of it.-Cincinnati Med. Ob- server. With Dr. Smith, we confidently believe "that the present will more than sustain the enviable reputa- tion already attained by former editions, of being one of the fullest and most complete treatises on the subject in the English language." We know of none from the pages of which a satisfactory knowledge of the physiology of the human organism can be as well obtained, none better adapted for the use of such as take up the study of physiology in its reference to the institutes and practice of medicine.-Am. Jour. Med. Sciences. A complete cyclopaedia of this branch of science.- N. Y. Med. Tinies. We doubt not it is destined to retain a strong hold on public favor, and remain the favorite text-book in our colleges.-Virginia Medical Journal. We have so often spoken in terms of high com- mendation of Dr. Carpenter's elaborate work on hu- man physiology that, in announcing a new edition, it is unnecessary to add anything to what has hereto- fore been said, and especially is this the case since every intelligent physician is as well aware of the character and merits of the work as we ourselves are. -St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. The above is the title of what is emphatically the great work on physiology; and we are conscious that it would be a useless effort to attempt to add any- thing to the reputation of this invaluable work, and can only say to all with whom our opinion has any influence, that it is our authority.-Atlanta Med.

The names of Todd and Bowman have long been familiar to the student of physiology. In this work we have the ripe experience of these laborious physi- ologists on every branch of this science. They gave each subject the most thorough and critical examina- tion before making it a matter of record. Thus, while they advanced tardily, apparently, in their publica- tion, the work thus issued was a complete exponent of the science of physiology at the time of its final appearance. We can, therefore, recommend this work as one of the most reliable which the student or practitioner can consult relating to physiology.-N. K Journal of Medicine. To it the rising generation of medical men will owe, in great measure, a familiar acquaintance with all the chief truths respecting the healthy structure and working of the frames which are to form the subject of their care. The possession of such know- ledge will do more to make sound and able practi- tioners than anything else.-British and Foreign Medico-Chirurg leal Review. ^IRKES ( WILLIAM SEWHO USE}, M.D., A MANUAL OF PHYSIOLOGY.

By the use of a fine and clear type, a very large amount of matter has been condensed into a comparatively small volume, and at its exceedingly low price it will be found a most desirable manual for students or for gentlemen desirous to refresh their knowledge of modern physiology. It is at once convenient in size, comprehensive in design, and concise in statement, and altogether well adapted for the purpose designed.-St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. The physiological reader will find it a most excel- lent guide in the study of physiology in its most ad- vanced and perfect form.

In one very beautiful octavo volume, of 700 pages, extra cloth, $5 25 ; leather, $6 25. "In the present edition of this work the general plan and arrangement of the two former ones are retained. The improvements and additions which have been introduced consist in the incor- poration into the text of certain hew facts and discoveries, relating mainly to details, which have made their appearance within the last three years."-Author's Preface. The rapid demand for another edition of this work sufficiently shows that the author has suc- ceeded in his efforts to produce a text-book of standard and permanent value, embodying within a moderate compass all that is definitively and positively known within the domain of Human Physiology. His high reputation as an original observer and investigator is a guarantee that in again revising it he has introduced whatever is necessary to render it thoroughly on a level with the advanced science of the day, and this has been accomplished without unduly increasing the size of the volume. No exertion has been spared to maintain the standard of typographical execution which has rendered this work admittedly one of the handsomest volumes as yet produced in this country. We believe we fully recognize the value of Draper and Dunglison, Carpenter and Kirkes, and Todd and Bowman, and yet we unhesitatingly place Dalton at the bead of the list, for qualities already enumerated. In the important feature of illustration, Dalton's work is without a peer, either in adaptedness to the text, simplicity and graphicness of design, or elegance of artistic execution.-Chicago Med. Examiner. In calling attention to the recent publication of the third edition of this book, it will only be necessary to say that it retains all the merits and essentially the same plan of the two former editions, with which every American student of medicine is undoubtedly familiar The distinguished author has added to the text all the important discoveries in experimental physiology and embryology which have appeared during the last three years.-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, June 30, 1864. The arrangement of the work is excellent. The facts and theories put forward in it are brought up to the present time. Indeed, it may be looked upon as presenting the latest views of physiologists in a con- densed form, written in a clear, distinct manner, and in a style which makes it not. only a book of study to the student, or of reference to the medical practi- tioner, but a book which may be taken up and read with both pleasure and profit at any time.-Canada Med. Journal, October, 1861. In Dr. Dalton's excellent treatise we have one of the latest contributions of our American brethren to medical science, and its popularity may be estimated by the fact that this, the second edition, follows upon the first with the short interval of two years. The author has succeeded in giving his readers an exceed- ingly accurate and at the same time most readable resumi of the present condition of physiological science ; and, moreover, he has not been content with mere compilation, but has ably investigated the func- tions of the body for himself, many of the original experiments and observations being of the greatest value.-London Med. Review. This work, recognized as a standard text-book by the medical schools, and with which the members of the profession are so familiar, demands but a brief notice. Its popularity is attested by the rapidity with which former editions have been exhausted,- Chicago Med. Journal, April, 1864. To the student of physiology, no work as yet pub- lished could be more satisfactory as a guide, not only to a correct knowledge of the physiological subjects embraced in its limits, but, what is,of far greater importance, it will prove the best teacher of the modes of investigation by which that knowledge can be acquired, and, if necessary, tested.-The Columbus Review of Med. and Surgery. Until within a very recent date, American works on physiology were almost entirely unknown in Eu- rope, a circumstance solely due to the fact of their being little else than crude compilations of European works. Within the last few years, however, a great change has taken place for the better, and our friends on the other side of the Atlantic can now boast of possessing manuals equalled by few and excelled by none of our owu. In Dr. Dalton's treatise we are glad to find a valuable addition to physiological lite- rature. With pleasure we have observed throughout the volume proof of the author not being a mere compiler of the ideas of others, but an active laborer in the field of science.-The Brit, and For.

We have for a long time felt that the preparation of a proper chemical text-book for students would be time better spent than in the invention of a novel system of classification or the discovery of half a dozen new element's ending in ium. We believe this want has at last been satisfied in the book now before us, which has been prepared expressly for medical students by two of the most experienced teachers of the science in England.-Boston Med. and Surgical Journal. pOWMAN [JOHN E.^M.

In one handsome octavo volume, of 850 pages, with several hundred illustrations, extra cloth. $5 00. The rapid progress made in the science and art of Pharmacy, and the many changes in the last edition of the Pharmacopoeia have required a very thorough revision of this work to render it worthy the continued confidence with which it has heretofore been favored. In effecting this, many portions have been condensed, and every effort has been made to avoid increasing unduly the bulk of the volume, yet, notwithstanding tbis, it will be found enlarged by about one hundred and fifty pages. The author's aim has been to present in a clear and compendious manner every- thing of value to the prescriber and dispenser of medicines, and the work, it is hoped, will be found more than ever a complete book of reference and text-book, indispensable to all who desire to keep on a level with the advance of knowledge connected with their profession. The immense amount of practical information condensed in its pages maybe estimated from the fact that the Index contains about 4700 items. Under the head of Acids there are 312 refer- ences ; under Emplastrum, 36; Extracts, 159; Lozenges, 25; Mixtures, 55 ; Pills, 56; Syrups, 131; Tinctures, 138 ; Unguentum, 57, &c. We have examined this large volume with a good deal of care, and find that the author has completely exhausted the subject upon which he treats ; a more complete work, we think, it would be impossible to find. To the student of pharmacy the work is indis- pensable ; indeed, so far as we know, it is the only one of its kind in existence, and even to the physician or medical student who can spare five dollars to pur- chase it, we feel sure the practical information he will obtain will more than compensate him for the outlay.-Canada Med. Journal, Nov. 1864. The medical student and the practising physician will find the volume of inestimable worth for study and reference.-San Francisco Med. Press, July, 1864. When we say that this book is in some respects the best which has been published on the subject in the English language for a great many years, we do not wish it to be understood as very extravagant praise. In truth, it is not so much the best as the only book.-The London Chemical News. An attempt to furnish anything like an analysis of Parrish's very valuable and elaborate Treatise on Practical Pharmacy would require more space than we have at our disposal. This, however, is not so much a matter of regret, inasmuch as it would be difficult to think of any point, however minute and apparently trivial, connected with the manipulation of pharmaceutic substances or appliances which has not been clearly and carefully discussed in this vol- ume. Want of space prevents our enlarging further on this valuable work, and we must conclude by a simple expression of our hearty appreciation of its merits.-Dublin Quarterly Jour, of Medical Science, August, 1864. We have in this able aud elaborate work a fair ex- position of pharmaceutical science as it exists in the United States ; and it shows that our transatlantic friends have given the subject most elaborate con- sideration, and have, brought their art to. a degree of perfection which, we believe, is scarcely to be sur- passed anywhere. The book is, of course, of more direct value to the medicine maker than to the physi- cian ; yet Mr. Parrish has not failed to introduce matter in which the prescriber is quite as much interested as the compounder of remedies. In con- clusion, we can only express our high opinion of the value of this work as a guide to the pharmaceutist, and in many respects to the physician, not only in America, but in other parts of. the world.-British Med. Journal, Nov. 12th, 1864. The former editions have been sufficiently long before the medical public to render the merits of the work well known. It is certainly one of the niosi complete and valuable works on practical pharmacy to which the student, the practitioner, or the apothe- cary can have access.-Chicago Medical Examiner March, 1864.

We endorse the favorable opinion which the book has so long established for itself, and take this occa- sion to commend it to our readers as one of the con- venient handbooks of the office and library.-Cin- cinnati Lancet, Feb. 1861. The work has long been before the profession, and its merits are well known. The present edition con- tains many valuable additions, and will be found to be an exceedingly convenient and useful volume for reference by the medical practitioner. - Chicago Medical Examiner, March, 1864. The work is now so well known, and has been so frequently noticed in this Journal as the successive editions appeared, that it is sufficient, on the present occasion, to state that the editor has introduced into the eleventh edition a large amount of new matter, derived from the current medical and pharmaceutical works, as well as a number of valuable prescriptions furnished from private sources. A very comprehen- sive and extremely useful index has also been sup- plied, which facilitates reference to the particular article the prescriber may wish to administer; and the language of the Formulary has been made to cor- respond with the nomenclature of the new national Pharmacopeia.-Am.

MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS; being an Abridg- ment of the late Dr. Pereira's Elements of Materia Medica, arranged in conformity with the British Pharmacopoeia, and adapted to the use of Medical Practitioners, Chemists and Druggists, Medical and Pharmaceutical Students, &c. By F. J. Farre, M.D., Senior Physician to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and London Editor of the British Pharmacopoeia; assisted by Robert Bentley, M.R.C.S., Professor of Materia Medica and Botany to the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain; and by Robert Warington, F.R.S., Chemical Operator to the Society of Apothecaries. With numerous additions and references to the United States Pharmacopoeia, by Horatio C. Wood, M.D., Professor of Botany in the University of Pennsylvania. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 1040 closely printed pages, with 236 illustrations, extra cloth, $7 00; leather, raised bands, $8 00. (Just Issued.) The task of the American editor has evidently been no sinecure, for not only has he given to us all that is contained in the abridgment useful for our pur- poses, but by a careful and judicious embodiment of over a hundred new remedies has increased the size of the former work fully one-third, besides adding many new illustrations, some of which are original. We unhesitatingly say that by so doing he has pro- portionately increased the value, not only of the con- densed edition, but has extended the applicability of the great original, and has placed his medical coun- trymen under lasting obligations to him. The Ame- rican physician now has all- that is needed in the shape of a complete treatise on materia medica, and the medical student has a text-book which, for prac- tical utility and intrinsic worth, stands unparalleled. Although of considerable size, it is none too large for the purposes for which it has been intended, and every medical man should, in justice to himself, spare a place for it upon his book-shelf, resting assured that the more he consults it the better he will be satisfied of its excellence.-N. F. Med. Record, Nov. 15, 1866. It will fill a place which no other work can occupy in the library of the physician, student, and apothe- cary.-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, Nov. 8, 1866. We have here presented, in a'volume of a thousand pages, that which we sincerely believe the best work on materia medica in the English language. No phy- sician, no medical student, can purchase this book, and make anything like a proper use of it, without being amply rewarded for his outlay. - The Cincin- nati Journal of Medicine, November, 1866. The American editor can very justly say, then, that "his office has been no sinecure." The result, how- ever, of the labors of the different gentlemen engaged on the work has been to give us a compendium that is admirably adapted for the wants and necessities of the student. We willingly concede to the American editor that we have rarely examined a work that, on the whole, is more carefully and laboriously edited than this; or, we may add, that is more improved in the process of editing.-New York Medical Journal, December, 1866. Of the many works on Materia Medica which have appeared since the issuing of the British Pharmaco- poeia, none will be more acceptable to the student and practitioner than the present. Pereira's Materia Medica had long ago asserted for itself the position of being the most complete work on the subject in the English language. But its very completeness stood in the way of its success. Except in the way of refer- ence, or to those who made a special study of Materia Medica, Dr. Pereira's work was too full, and its pe- rusal required an amount of time which few had at their disposal. Dr. Farre has very j udiciously availed himself of the opportunity of the publication of the new Pharmacopoeia, by bringing out an abridged edi- tion of the great work. This edition of Pereira is by no means a mere abridged re-issue, but contains ma- ny improvements, both in the descriptive and thera- peutical departments. We can recommend it as a very excellent and reliable text-book.-Edinburgh Med Journal, February, 1866. The reader cannot fail to be impressed, at a glance, with the exceeding value of this work as a compend of nearly all useful knowledge on the materia medica. We are greatly indebted to Professor Wood for his adaptation of it to our meridian. Without his emen- dations and additions it would lose much of its value to the American student. With them it is an Ameri- can book.- Pacific Medical and Surgical Journal, December, 1866. Altogether, the work is a most valuable addition to the literature of this subject, and will be of great use to the practitioner of medicine and medical student. The work, as issued by the American publisher, is a handsome volume of 1030 pages, most amply illus- trated, the wood-cuts being of superior finish, and clearly impressed.-Canada. Med. Journal, Nov. 1866. Only 592 pages, while Pereira's original volumes included 2000, and yet the results of many years' ad- ditional research in pharmacology and therapeutics are embodied in the new edition. Unquestionably Dr. Farre has conferred a great benefit upon medical students and practitioners. And in both respects we think he has acted very judiciously. And the work is now condensed-brought fully into accordance with the pharmacological opinions in vogue, and can be used with great advantage as a handbook for exami- nations.-The Lancet, December, 1865.

In one large and beautifully printed octavo volume of nearly 750 pages, extra cloth, $3 50. Our limited space alone restrains us from noticing more at length the various subjects treated of in this interesting work; presenting, as it does, an excel- lent summary of the existing state of knowledge in relation to pathological anatomy, we cannot too strongly urge upon the student the necessity of a tho- rough acquaintance with its contents.-Medical Ex- aminer. We have long had need of a hand-book of patholo- gical anatomy which should thoroughly reflect the present state of that science. In the treatise before us this desideratum is supplied. Within the limits of a moderate octavo, we have the outlines of this great department of medical science accurately defined, and the most recent investigations presented in suffi- cient detail for the student of pathology. We cannot at this time undertake a formal analysis of this trea- tise, as it would involve a separate and lengthy consideration of nearly every subject discussed ; nor would such analysis be advantageous to the medical reader. The work is of such a character that every physician ought to obtain it, both for reference and study.-N. K Journal of Medicine. Its importance to the physician cannot be too highly estimated, and we would recommend our readers to add it to their library as soon as they conveniently can.-Montreal Med. Chronicle.

The unequivocal favor with which this work has been received by the profession, both in Europe and America, is one among the many gratifying evidences which might l>e adduced as going to show that there is a steady progress taking place in the science as well as in the art of medicine.-St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. No work has ever achieved or maintained a more deserved reputation. - Virginia Med. and Surg. Journal. One of the best works on the subject of which it treats in our language. It has already commended itself to the high regard of the profession ; and we may well say that we know of no single volume that will afford the source of so thorough a drilling in the principles of practice as this. Students and practitioners should make themselves intimately familiar with its teachings- they will find their labor and study most amply repaid.-Cincinnati Med. Observer. There is no work in medical literature which can fill the place of this one. It is the Primer of the young practitioner, the Koran of the scientific one.- Stethoscope. A text-book to which no other in our language is comparable.-Charleston Med. Journal. The lengthened analysis we have given of Dr. Wil- liams's Principles of Medicine will, we trust, clearly prove to our readers his perfect competency for the task he has undertaken-that of imparting to the student, as well as to the more experienced practi- tioner, a knowledge of those general principles of pathology on which alone a correct practice can be founded. The absolute necessity of such a work must be evident to all who pretend to more than mere empiricism. We must conclude by again ex- pressing our high sense of the immense benefit which Dr. Williams has conferred on medicine by the pub- lication of this work. We are certain that in the present state of our knowledge his Principles of Medi- cine could not possibly be surpassed. While we regret the loss which many of the rising generation of practitioners have sustained by his resignation o the Chair at University College, it is comforting to feel that his writings must long continue to exert a powerful influence on the practice of that profession for the improvement of which he has so assiduously and successfully labored, and in which he holds so distinguished a position.-London Jour, of Medicine 16 Henry C.

From the Preface to the Second 'Edition. Four months after the publication of this treatise, the author was notified that a second edition was called for. The speedy exhaustion of the first edition, unexpected in view of its large size, naturally intensified the desire to make the work still more acceptable to practitioners and students of Medicine ; and, notwithstanding the brief period allowed for a revision, additions have been made which, it is believed, will enhance the practical utility of the volume. We are happy in being able once more to commend this work to the students and practitioners of medicine who seek for accurate information conveyed in lan- guage at once clear, precise, and expressive.-Amer. Journ. Med. Sciences, April, 1867. Dr. Flint, who has been known in this country for many years, both as an author and teacher, who has discovered truth, and pointed it out clearly and dis- tinctly to others, investigated the symptoms and na- tural history of disease and recorded its language and facts, and devoted a life of incessant study and thought to the doubtful or obscure in his profession, has at length, in his ripe scholarship, given this work to the profession as a crowning gift. If we have spoken highly of its value to the profession and- world ; if we have said, all considered, it is the very best work upon medical practice in any language; if we have spoken of its excellences in detail, and given points of special value, we have yet failed to express in any degree our present estimate of its value as a guide in the practice of medicine. It does not contain too much or too little ; it is not positive where doubt should be expressed, or hesitate where truth is known. It is philosophical and speculative where philosophy and speculation are all that can at present be obtained, but nothing is admitted to the elevation of established truth, without the most thorough investigation. It is truly remarkable with what even hand this work has been written, and how it all shows the most care- ful thought and untiring study. We conclude that, though it may yet be susceptible of improvement, it still constitutes the very best which human knowledge can at present produce. "When knowledge is in- creased," the work will doubtless be again revised; meanwhile we shall accept it as the rule of practice. •-Buffalo Med. and Surg. Journal, Feb. 1867. He may justly feel proud of the high honor con- ferred on him by the demand for a second edition of his work in four months after the issue of the first. No American practitioner can afford to do without Flint's Practice.-Pacific Med. and Surg. Journal, Feb. 1867. Dr. Flint's book is the only one on the practice of medicine that can benefit the young practitioner.- Nashville Med. Journal, Aug. 1866. We consider the book, in all its essentials, as the best adapted to the student of any of our numerous text-books on this subject.-N.Y Med. Journ.. Jan.'67. Its terse conciseness fully redeems it from being ranked among heavy and common-place works, while tlie unmistakable way in which Dr. Flint gives his own views is quite refreshing, and far from common. It is a book of enormous research; the writer is evi- dently a man of observation and large experience; his views are practically sound and theoretically moderate, and we have no hesitation in commending his magnum opus to our readers -Dublin Medical Press and Circular, May 16, 1866. In the plan of the work and the treatment of indi- vidual subjects there is afreshness and an originality which make it worthy of the study of practitioners as well as students. It is, indeed, an admirable book, and highly creditable to American medicine. For clearness and conciseness in style, for careful reason- ing upon what is known, for lucid distinction between what we know and what we do not know, between what nature does in disease and what the physician can do and should, for richness in good clinical ob- servation, for independence of statement and opinion on great points of practice, and for general sagacity and good judgment, the work is most meritorious. It is singularly rich in good qualities, and free from faults.-London Lancet, June 23, 1866. In following out such a plan Dr. Flint has suc- ceeded most admirably, and gives to his readers a work that is not only very readable, interesting, and concise, but in every respect calculated to meet the requirements of professional men of every class. Th'e student has presented to him, in the plainest possible manner, the symptoms of disease, the prin- ciples which should guide him in its treatment, and the difficulties which have to be surmounted in order to arrive at a correct diagnosis. The practitioner, besides having such aids, has offered to him the con- clusion which the experience of the professor has enabled him to arrive at in reference to the relative merits of different therapeutical agents, and different methods of treatment. This new work will add not a little to the well-earned reputation of Prof. Flint as a medical teacher.-N. Y. Med. Record, April 2, 1866. We take pleasure in recommending to the profession this valuable and practical work on the practice of medicine, more particularly as we have had oppor- tunities of appreciating from personal observation the author's preeminent merit as a clinical observer. This work is undoubtedly one of great merit, and we feel confident that it will have an extensive circula- tion.-The N. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal, Sept. 1866.

In this work the author has sought to present a clear and condensed view of the theory and practice of physic in its most modern aspect, suited to the wants of the student and to.those of the practitioner who desires within a moderate compass to have the means of refreshing his know- ledge or of noting the more important results of recent investigations. By careful selection of material and the utmost conciseness of style, a very large amount of information will be found embodied in a small compass, conveniently arranged either for study or reference.

Believing this to be a work which should lie on the table of every physician, and be in the hands of every student, every effort has been made to condense the vast amount of matter which it con- tains within a convenient compass, and at a very reasonable price, to place it within reach of all. In its present enlarged form, the work contains the matter of at least three ordinary octavos, rendering it one of the cheapest works now offered to the American profession, while its mechani- cal execution makes it an exceedingly attractive volume. Confessedly, by the concurrent opinions of the highest critical authorities both of Great Britain and tliis country, the best compend of the principles and practice of physic that has yet appeared.-Am.

It stands now confessedly in the first rank of the publications relating to the practice of medicine.- Western Journal of Med. and Surg. Dr. Watson's Lectures may, without exaggeration, be styled a mirror of the practice of medicine.-Cin- cinnati Lancet. We cannot speak too highly of this truly classical work on the practice of medicine. Take it all in all, it is the very best of books of its kind; equalled by none in beauty and elegance of diction, and not sur- passed in the completeness and comprehensiveness of its contents. It will be an indispensable guide to the student in the acquirement of his profession, and no less worthy of frequent consultation and reference by the most enlightened practitioner.-Chicago Med.

Dr. Watson's Lectures have been so long known and celebrated for their rare combination of intrinsic excellence and attractive style, that we need say no more of this edition than that it is the best work on the subject in the English language, for the general purposes both of students and of practitioners-all of whom we advise to possess themselves of a copy, if they are not already so fortunate as to have one.- Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.

Premising this observation of the necessity of each student and practitioner making himself acquainted with auscultation and percussion, we may state our honest opinion that Dr. Flint's treatise is one of the most trustworthy guides which he can consult. The style is clear and distinct, and is also concise, being free from that tendency to over-refinement and unne- cessary minuteness which characterizes many works on the same subject.-Dublin Medical Press, Feb. 6, 1867. In the invaluable work before us, we have a book of facts of nearly 600 pages, admirably arranged, clear, thorough, and lucid on all points, without pro- lixity; exhausting every point and topic touched; a monument of patient and long-continued observation, which does credit to its author, and reflects honor on American medicine.-Atlanta Med. and Surg. Jour- nal, Feb. 1867. The chapter on Phthisis is replete with interest; and his remarks on the diagnosis, especially in the early stages, are remarkable for their acumen and great practical value. Dr. Flint's style is clear and elegant, and the tone of freshness and originality which pervades his whole work lend an additioual force to its thoroughly practical character, which cannot fail to obtain for it a place as a standard work on diseases of the respiratory system.-London Lancet, Ja'n. 19, 1867. This is an admirable book. Excellent in detail and execution, nothing better could be desired by the practitioner. Dr. Flint enriches his subject with much solid and not a little original observation.- Ranking's Abstract, Jan. 1867. PY THE SAME AUTHOR.

We question the fact of any recent American author in our profession being more extensively known, or more deservedly esteemed in this country than Dr. Flint. We willingly acknowledge his success, more particularly in the volume on diseases of the heart, in making an extended personal clinical study available for purposes of illustration, in connection with cases which have been reported by other trustworthy ob- servers.-Brit, and For.

Associate with this the rare faculty which Dr. Chambers has of infusing an enthusiasm in his sub- ject, and we have in this little work all the elements which make it a model of its sort. We have perused it carefully; have studied every page; our interest in the subject has been intensified as we proceeded, and we are enabled to lay it down with unqualified praise.-N. Y. Med. Record, April 15, 1867. This is one of the most valuable works which it has ever been our good fortune to receive.-London Med. Mirror, Feb. 1867. It is in the combination of these qualities-clear and vivid expression, with thorough scientific knowledge and practical skill-that his success as a teacher or literary expositor of the medical art consists; and the volume before us is a better illustration than its au- thor has yet produced of the rare degree in which those combined qualities are at his command. Next to the diseases of children, there is no subject on which the young practitioner is oftener consulted, or on which the public are more apt to form their opinions of his professional skill, than the various phenomena of indigestion. Dr. Chambers comes most opportunely and effectively to his assistance. In fact, there are few situations in which the commencing practitioner can place himself in which Dr. Cham- bers' conclusions on digestion will not be of service. -London Lancet, February 23, 1867. This elegant volume, by the author of "Lectures, chiefly Clinical," has been our Christmas book, and we found it as interesting as any of the popular an- nuals which deluge us at that festive season. We hope the author will accept as a well-deserved com- pliment the remark, "that, after all that has been written upon this subject, we consider it a thorough triumph to have put forth so instructive a volume on indigestion."-Lublin Medical Press and Circular, January 23, 1867.

During the short time which has elapsed since the appearance of this work, it has assumed the position of a recognized authority on the subject wherever the language is spoken, and its transla- tion into Italian shows that its reputation is not confined to our own tongue. The singular clear- ness with which the modern doctrines of venereal diseases are set forth renders it admirably adapted to the student, while the fulness of its practical details and directions as to treatment makes it indispensable to the practitioner.

(Now Ready.} The want has for some time been felt of a work which should render accessible to the American profession in a compendious and convenient form, the results of the numerous and important researches which have of late years elucidated the pathology of Urinary and Renal Diseases. It has been the aim of the author in the present volume to set forth in a form divested of undue technicality, the practical condition of the subject in its most advanced stage of progress. In endeavoring to accomplish this, he has refrained from crowding the volume with minute chemical and physiological details, which would unfit it for its object of affording to the physician a guide in his daily practice, and to the student a condensed and intelligible compendium of all that is practically important on the subject. To aid in this, numerous cases and illustrations have been introduced throughout the work. In carrying out this design, he has not only made good use of his own practical knowledge, but has brought together from various sources a vast amount of information, some of which is not generally pos- sessed by the profession in this country. We must now bring our notice of this book to a close, re- gretting only that we are obliged to resist the temp- tation of giving further extracts from it. Dr. Roberts has already on several occasions placed before the profession the results of researches made by him on various points connected with the urine, and had thus led us to expect from him something good-in which expectation we have been by no means disappointed. The book is, beyond question, the most comprehen- give work on urinary and renal diseases, considered in their strictly practical aspect, that we possess in the English language.-British Medical Journal, Dec. 9, 1865. We have read this book with much satisfaction. It will take its place beside the best treatises in our language upon urinary pathology and therapeutics. Not the least of its merits is that the author, unlike some other book-makers, is contented to withhold much that he is well qualified to discuss in order to impart to his volume such a strictly practical charac- ter as cannot fail to render it popular among British readers.-London Med. Times and Gazette, March 17, 1866. *** " Bird on Urinary Deposits," being: for the present out of print, gentlemen will find in the above work a trustworthy substitute.

Price, in extra cloth, $5 50. Also, the Text and Plates, bound in one handsome volume, extra cloth. Price $9 50. This classical work has for twenty years occupied the position of the leading authority on cuta- neous diseases in the English language, and the industry of the author keeps it on a level with the advance of science, in the frequent revisions which it receives at his hands. The large size of the volume enables him to enter thoroughly into detail on all the subjects embraced in it, while its very moderate price places it within the reach of every one interested in this department of practice. Such a work as the one before us is a most capital and acceptable help. Mr. Wilson has long been held as high authority in this department of medicine, and his book on diseases of the skin has long been re- garded as one of the best text-books extant on the subject. The present edition is carefully prepared, and brought up in its revision to the present time In this edition we have also included the beautiful series of plates illustrative of the text, and in the last edi- tion published separately. There are twenty of these plates, nearly all of them colored to nature, and ex- hibiting with great fidelity the various groups of diseases treated of in the body of the work.-Cin- oinnati Lancet, June, 1863. No one treating skin diseases should be without a copy of this standard work.- Canada Lancet. August, 1863. We can safely recommend it to the profession as the best work on the subject now in existence in the English language.-Medical Times and Gazette. Mr. Wilson's volume is an excellent digest of the actual amount of knowledge of cutaneous diseases; it includes almost every fact or opinion of importance connected with the anatomy and pathology of the skin.-British and Foreign Medical Review. These plates are very accurate, and are executed with an elegance and taste,which are highly creditable to the artistic skill of the American artist who executed them.-St. Louis Med. Journal. The drawings are very perfect, and the finish and coloring artistic and correct; the volume is an indis- pensable companion to the book it illustrates and completes.-Charleston Medical Journal.

It is so far the most complete one of its size that has appeared, and for the student there can be none which can com- pare with it in practical value. All the late disco- veries in Dermatology have been duly noticed, and their value justly estimated ; in a word, the work is fully up to the times, and is thoroughly stocked with most valuable information.-New York Med. Record, Jan. 15, 1867. This instructive little volume appears once more. Since the death of its distinguished author, the study of skin diseases has been considerably advanced, and the results of these investigations have been added by the present editor to the original work of Dr. Neli- gan. This, however, has not so far increased its bulk as to destroy its reputation as the most convenient manual of diseases of the skin that can be procured by the student.-Chicago Med. Journal, Dee. 1866. pY THE SAME AUTHOR. ATLAS OF CUTANEOUS DISEASES. In one beautiful quarto volume, with exquisitely colored plates, <tc., presenting about one hundred varieties of disease. Extra cloth. JR5 50. The diagnosis of eruptive disease, however, under all circumstances, is very difficult. Nevertheless, I)r. Neligan has certainly, £'as far as possible," given a faithful and accurate representation of this class of diseases, and there can be no doubt that these plates will be of great use to the student and practitioner in drawing a diagnosis as to the class, order, and species to which the particular case may belong. While looking over the "Atlas" we have been induced to examine also the "Practical Treatise," and we are inclined to consider it a very superior work, com- bining accurate verbal description with sound views of the pathology and treatment of eruptive diseases. It possesses the.merit of giving short and condensed descriptions, avoiding the tedious minuteness of many writers, while at the same time the work, as its title implies, is strictly practical.-Glasgow Med. Journal. A compend which will very much aid the practi- tioner in this difficult branch of diagnosis.

Dr. Condie's scholarship, acumen, industry, and practical sense are manifested in this, as in all his numerous contributions to science.-Dr. Holmes's Report to the American Medical Association. Taken as a whole, in our judgment, Dr. Condie's treatise is the one from the perusal of which the practitioner in this country will rise with the great- est satisfaction.- Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. In the department of infantile therapeutics, the work of Dr. Condie is considered one of the best in the Eng- lish language.-The Stethoscope. As we said before, we do not know of a better book on Diseases of Children, and to a large part of its re- commendations we yield an unhesitating concurrence. -Buffalo Medical Journal. The work of Dr. Condie is unquestionably a very able one. It is practical in its character, as its title imports; but the practical precepts recommended in it are based, as all practice should be, upon a familiar knowledge of disease. The opportunities of Dr. Con- die for the practical study of the diseases of children have been great, and his work is a proof that they have not been thrown away. He has read much, but ob- served more ; and we think that we may safely say that the American student cannot find, in his own language, a. better book upon the subject of which it treats.-Am. Journal Medical Sciences. We pronounced the first edition to be the best work on the diseases of children in the English language, and, notwithstanding all that has been published, we still regard it in that light.-Medical Examiner. The value of works by native authors on the dis- eases which the physician is called upon to combat will be appreciated by all, and the work of Dr. Con- die has gained for itself the character of a safe guide for students, and a useful work for consultation by those engaged in practice.-N.

Fourth American from the fifth revised and enlarged English edition. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 656 closely-printed pages. Extra cloth, $4 50; leather, $5 50. (Just issued.) This work may now fairly claim the position of a standard authority and medical classic. Five editions in England, four in America, four in Germany, and translations in French, Danish, Dutch, and Russian, show how fully it has met the wants of the profession by the soundness of its views and the clearness with which they are presented. Few practitioners, indeed, have had the opportunities of observation and experience enjoyed by the Author. In his Preface he remarks, " The present edition embodies the results of 1200 recorded cases and of nearly 400 post-mortem examinations, collected from between 30,000 and 40,000 children, who, during the past twenty- six years, have come under my care, either in public or in private practice." The universal favor with which the work has been received shows that the author has made good use of these unusual advantages. Of all the English writers on the diseases of chil- dren, there is no one so entirely satisfactory to us as Dr. West. For years we have held his opinion as j udicial, and have regarded him as one of the highest living authorities in the difficult department of medi- cal science in which he is most widely known. His writings are characterized by a sound, practical com- mon sense, at the same time that they bear the marks of the most laborious study and investigation. We commend it to all as a most reliable adviser on many occasions when many treatises on the same subjects will utterly fail to help us. It is supplied with a very copious general index, and a special index to the for- mulae scattered throughout the work.-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, April 26, 1866. Dr. West's volume is, in our opinion, incomparably the best authority upon the maladies of children that the practitioner can consult. Withal, too-a- minor matter, truly, but still not one that should be neglected-Dr. West's composition possesses a pecu- liar charm, beauty and clearness of expression, thus affording the reader much pleasure, even independent of that which arises from the acquisition of valuable truths.-Cincinnati Jour, of Medicine, March, 1866. We have long regarded it as the most scientific and practical book on diseases of children which has yet appeared in this country.-Buffalo Medical Journal. Dr. West's book is the best that has ever been written in the English language on the diseases of infancy and «hildhood.-Columhus lieview of Med. and Surgery. To occupy in medical literature, in regard to dis- eases of children the enviable position which Dr. Watson's treatise does on the diseases of adults is now very generally assigned to our author, and his book is in the hands of the profession everywhere as an original work of great value.-Md. and Va. Med. and Surg. Journal. Dr. West's works need no recommendation at this date from any hands. The volume before us, espe- cially, has won for itself a large and well-deserved popularity among the profession, wherever the Eng- lish tongue is spoken. Many years will elapse before it will be replaced in public estimation by any similar treatise, and seldom again will the same subject be discussed in a clearer, more vigorous, or pleasing style, with equal simplicity and power.-Charleston Med. Jour, and Review. There is no part of the volume, no subject on which it treats which does not exhibit the keen perception, the clear judgment, and the sound reasoning of the author. It will be found a most useful guide to the young practitioner, directing him in his management of children s diseases in the clearest possible manner, and enlightening him on many a dubious pathological point, while the older one will find in it many a sug- gestion and practical hint of great value -Brit.

That this work has been thoroughly appreciated by the profession of this country as well as of Europe, is fully attested by the fact of its having reached its fourth edition in a period of less than twelve years. Its value has been much enhanced by many impor- tant additions, and it contains a fund of useful in- formation, conveyed in an easy and delightful style. Every topic discussed by the author is rendered so plain as to be readily understood by every student: and, for our own part, we consider it not only one of the most readable of books, but one of priceless value to the practitioner engaged in the practice of those diseases peculiar to females.-N. Am. Med.-Chir. Re- view. We read the book and find him more-an original thinker, an eloquent expounder, and a thorough practitioner. The book is but twelve years old, but it has been so much appreciated by the profession that edition after edition has been demanded, and now the fourth is on the table by us. We recom- mend with great pleasure a much improved edition of a work in which we saw little room for improve- ment.-Nashville Medical Journal. We greet this new edition of Dr. Meigs' work on woman with much pleasure, and commend it to the profession, especially to the younger members, who may receive much valuable instruction from its pages, conveyed in a pleasing style. The teaching throughout the work reflects the highest credit upon the head and heart of the author.-Chicago Medical Journal. The rules of the art here described, the obstetrical opinions here expressed, the general directions and advice given and suggested, are, beyond any cavil, unexceptionably sagacious and prudent. They are founded on a large practice, have been tested by a long experience, and come from lips to whose teach- ing thousands have listened for many years, and never without profit.-Charleston Med.

In reviewing this edition, at the request of my A.meriean publishers, I have inserted several new sections and chapters, and I have added, I believe, all the information we have derived from recent researches; in addition to which the publishers have been fortunate enough to secure the services of an able.and highly esteemed editor in Dr. Condie. As an epitome of all that is known in this depart- ment of medicine, the book before us is perhaps the fullest arid most valuable in the English language. -Dublin Medical Press. It was left for Dr Churchill to gather the scat- tered facts from their various sources, and reduce them to a general system. This he has done with a masterly hand in the volume now before us ; in which, to the results of his own extensive observa- tion, he has added the views of all British and for- eign writers of any note; thus giving us in a com- plete form, all that is known upon this subject at the present day. To Dr. Churchill, then, are the pro- fession deeply indebted for supplying them with so great a desideratum-the achievement of which de- servedly entitles his name, already intimately asso- ciated with the diseases of women, to rank very high as an authority upon this subject. We would briefly characterize it as one of the most useful which has issued from the press for many years. To all it bears its own recommendation ; and will be found to be invaluable to the student as a text-book, no less than as a compendious work of reference to the qualified practitioner.-Glasgow Med.

Indeed, although no part of the volume is not emi- nently deserving of perusal and study, we think that the nine chapters devoted to this subject are espe- cially so, and we know of no more valuable mono- graph upon the symptoms, prognosis, and manage- ment of these annoying maladies than is constituted by this part of the work. We cannot but regard it as one of the most original and most practical works of the day-one which every accoucheur and physician should most carefully read: for we are persuaded that he will arise from its perusal with new ideas, which will induct him into a more rational practice in regard to many a suffering female who may have placed her health in his hands.-British American Journal, Feb. 1861. ffiEST {CHARLES), M.D. LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OF WOMEN.

We have thus embodied, in this series of lectures, one of the most valuable treatises on the diseases of the female sexual system unconnected with gestation, in our language, and one which cannot fail, from the lucid manner in which the various subjects have been treated, and the careful discrimination used in dealing only with facts, to recommend the volume to the careful study of every practitioner, as affording his safest guides to practice within our knowledge. We have seldom perused a work of a more thoroughly practical character than the one before us. Every page teems with the most truthful and accurate infor- mation, and we certainly do not know of any other work from which the physician, in active practice, can more readily obtain advice Of the soundest cha- racter upon the peculiar diseases- which have been made the subject of elucidation.-British Am.

As a writer, Dr. West stands, in our opinion, se- cond only to Watson, the "Macaulay of Medicine;" he possesses that happy faculty of clothing instruc- tion in easy garments; combining pleasure with profit, he leads his pupils, in spite of the ancient pro- verb, along a royal road to learning. His work is onet which will not satisfy the extreme on either side, but it is one that will please the great majority who are seeking truth, and one that will convince the student that he has committed himself to a candid, safe, and valuable guide.-N.

The conscientious, painstaking, practical physician is. apparent on every page.-N. Y. Journal of Medicine.

During the past two years, this revision of former labors has been my principal occupation, and in its present state the work may be considered to embody the matured experience of the many years I have devoted to the study of uterine disease. Indeed, the entire volume is so replete with infor- mation, to all appearance so perfect in its details, that we could scarcely have thought another page or para- graph was required for the full description of all that is now known with regard to the diseases under con- sideration if we had not been so informed by the au- thor. To speak of it except in terms of the highest approval would be impossible, and we gladly avail ourselves of the present opportunity to reconimend it in the most unqualified manner to the profession. -Dublin Med.

Illus- trated with large lithographic plates containing one hundred and fifty-nine figures from original photographs, and with numerous wood-cuts. In one large and beautifully printed quarto volume of 550 double-columned pages, strongly bound in extra cloth, $14. (Late- ly piiblisked.) "Influenced by these motives, the author has, in this volume, endeavored to present not simply his own opinions, but also those of the most distinguished authorities in the profession; so that it may be considered a digest of the theory and practice of Obstetrics at the present period." In carrying out this design, the ample space afforded by'the quarto form has enabled the author to enter thoroughly into all details, and in combining the results of his long experience and study with the teachings of other distinguished authors, he cannot fail to afford to the practitioner what- ever counsel and assistance may be required in doubtful cases and emergencies. A distinguishing feature of the work is the profuseness of its illustrations. The lithographic plates are all original, and, to insure their accuracy, they have been copied from photographs taken expressly for the purpose. Besides these, a very full series of engravings on wood will be found scattered through the text, so that all the details given by the author are amply elucidated by the illustrations. It may be added that no pains or expense have been spared to render the mechanical execution of the work in every respect worthy of the character and value of the teachings it contains. *** Specimens of the plates and letterpress will be forwarded to any address free by mail on receipt of six cents in postage stamps. From the Author's Preface. The work of Dr. Hodge is something more than a simple presentation of his particular views in the de- partment of Obstetrics; it is something more than an ordinary treatise on midwifery; it is, in fact, a cyclo- psedia of midwifery. He has aimed to embody in a single volume the whole science and art of Obstetrics. An elaborate text is combined with accurate and va- ried pictorial illustrations, so that no fact or principle is left unstated or unexplained.-Am. Med. Times, Sept. 3, 1S64. We should like to analyze the'remainder of this excellent work, but already has this review extended beyond our limited space. We cannot conclude this notice without referring to the excellent finish of the work. In typography it is not to be excelled; the paper is superior to what is usually afforded by our American cousins, quite equal to the best of English books. The engravings and lithographs are most beautifully executed. The work recommends itself for its originality, and is in every way a most valu- able addition to those on the subject of obstetrics.- Canada Med. Journal, Oct. 1864. It is very large, profusely and elegantly illustrated, and is fitted to take its place near the works of great obstetricians. Of the American works on the subject it is decidedly the best.-Edinb. Med. Jour., Dec. '64. We have examined Professor Hodge's work with great satisfaction; every topic is elaborated most fully. The views of the author are comprehensive, and concisely stated. The rules of practice are judi- cious, and will enable the practitioner to meet every emergency of obstetric complication with confidence. -Chicago Med. Journal, Aug. 1864. More time than we have had at our disposal since we received the great work of Dr. Hodge is necessary to do it justice. It is undoubtedly by far the most original, complete, and carefully composed treatise on the principles and practice of Obstetrics which has ever been issued from the American press.-Pacific Med. and Surg. Journal, July, 1864. We have read Dr. Hodge's book with great plea- sure, and have much satisfaction in expressing our commendation of it as a whole. It is certainly highly instructive, and in the main, we believe, correct. The great attention which the author has devoted to the mechanism of parturition, taken along with the con- clusions at which he has arrived, point, we think, conclusively to the fact that, in Britain at least, the doctrines of Naegele have been too blindly received. -Glasgow Med.

As this is probably the last occasion I shall have to endeavor to make the book better for instruction than ever it was before, so have I felt constrained to carefully revise every one of its paragraphs, that I might leave it in a condition more worthy to be offered to my brethren. From the Author's Preface. We have, therefore, great satisfaction in bringing under our readers' notice the matured views of the highest American authority in the department to which he has devoted his life and talents. They com- prise not only the "fruit of many years of painful toil in the acquisition of clinical experience and know- ledge," but they contain also the evidences of an extended acquaintance with European medical lite- rature, both continental and British. This feature, together with the elevation of tone and eloquence in style often exhibited by the author, constitute no slight merit in works on the subjects with which the author is here occupied.-London Med. Gazette. We have made a somewhat careful examination of this new edition of the Science and the Art of Obstet- rics, and are satisfied that there is no better or more useful guide to the educated practitioner.-New Or- leans Monthly Med. Register. RAMSBOTHAM {FRANCIS II.), M.D. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRIC MEDI- CINE AND SURGERY, in reference to the Process of Parturition.

In one large and handsome imperial octavo volume of 650 pages, strongly bound in leather, with raised bands; with sixty-four beautiful plates, and numerous wood-cuts in the text, containing in all nearly 200 large and beautiful figures. $7 00. We will only add that the student will learn from it all he need to know, and the practitioner will find it, as a book of reference, surpassed by none other.- Stethoscope. The character and merits of Dr. Ramsbotham's work are so well known and thoroughly established, that comment is unnecessary and praise superfluous. The illustrations, which are numerous and accurate, are executed in the highest style of art. We cannot too highly recommend the work to our readers.-St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. To the physician's library it is indispensable, while to the student, as a text-book, from which to extract the material for laying the foundation of an education on obstetrical science, it has no superior.-Ohio Med. and Surg. Journal. When we call to mind the toil we underwent in acquiring a knowledge of this subject, we caunot but envy the student of the present day the aid which this work will afford him.-Am. Jour, of the Med. Sciences. QHURCHILL (FLEETWOOD), M.D., M.R.I.A. ON THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MIDWIFERY. A new American from the fourth revised and enlarged London edition. With notes and additions by D. Francis Condie, M. D., author of a "Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Chil- dren,'' &c. With one hundred and ninety^our illustrations. In one very handsome octavo volume of nearly 700 large pages. Extra cloth, $4 00 ; leather, $5 00. In adapting this standard favorite to the wants of the profession in the United States, the editor has endeavored to insert everything that his experience has shown him would be desirable for the American student, including a large number of illustrations. With the sanction of the author, he has added, in the form of an appendix, some chapters from a little "Manual for Midwives and Nurses," recently issued by Dr. Churchill, believing that the details there presented can hardly fail to prove of advantage to the junior practitioner. The result of all these additions is that the work now contains fully one-half more matter than the last American edition, with nearly one- half more illustrations; so that, notwithstanding the use of a smaller type, the volume contains almost two hundred pages more than before. No effort has been spared to secure an improvement in the mechanical execution of the work equal to that which the text has received, and the volume is confidently presented as one of the handsomest that has thus far been laid before the American profession; while the very low price at which it is offered should secure for it a place in every lecture-room and on every office table. These additions render the work still more com- plete and acceptable than ever; and with the excel- lent style in which the publishers have presented this edition of Churchill, we can commend it to the profession with great cordiality and pleasure.-Cin- cinnati Lancet. Few works on this branch of medical science are equal to it, certainly none excel it, whether in regard to theory or practice, and in one respect it is superior to all others, viz., in its statistical information, and therefore, on these grounds a most valuable work for the physician, student, or lecturer, all of whom will find in it the information which they are seeking.- Brit. Am. Journal. The present treatise is very much enlarged and amplified beyond the previous editions but nothing has been added which could be well dispensed with. An examination of the table of contents shows how thoroughly the author has gone over the ground, and the care he has taken in the text to present the sub- jects in all their bearings, will render this new edition even more necessary to the obstetric student than were either of the former editions at the date of their appearance. No treatise on obstetrics with which we are acquainted can compare favorably with this, in respect to the amount of material which has been gathered from every source.-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. There is no better text-book for students, or work of reference and study for the practising physician than this. It should adorn and enrich every medical library.-Chicago Med. Journal. Henry C. Lea's Publications-(Surgery). 27 QROSS {SAMUEL D.}, M.D., Professor of Surgery in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. A SYSTEM OF SURGERY: Pathological, Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Operative. Illustrated by upwards of Thirteen Hundred Engravings. Fourth edition, carefully revised, and improved. In two large and beautifully printed royal octavo volumes of 2200 pages, strongly bound in leather, with raised bands. $15 00. The continued favor, shown by the exhaustion of successive large editions of this great work, proves that it has successfully supplied a want felt by American practitioners and students. Though but little over six years have elapsed since its first publication, it has already reached its fourth edition, while the care of the author in its revision and correction has kept it in a constantly im- proved shape. By the use of a close, though very legible type, an unusually large amount of matter is condensed in its pages, the two volumes containing as much as four or five ordinary octavos. This, combined with the most careful mechanical execution, and its very durable binding, renders it one of the cheapest works accessible to the profession. Every subject properly belonging to the domain of surgery is treated in detail, so that the student who possesses this work may be said to have in it a surgical library. It must long remain the most comprehensive work on this important part of medicine.- Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, March 23, 1865. We have compared it with most of our standard works, such as those of Erichsen, Miller, Fergusson, Syme, and others, and we must, in justice to our author, award it the pre-eminence. As a work, com- plete in almost every detail, no matter how minute or trifling, and embracing every subject known in the principles and practice of surgery, we believe it stands without a rival. Dr. Gross, in his preface, re- marks "my aim has been to embrace the whole do- main of surgery, and to allot to every subject its legitimate claim to notice;" and, we assure our readers, he has kept his word. It is a work which we can most confidentlyrecommend to our brethren, for its utility is becoming the more evident the longer it is upon the shelves of our library.-Canada Med. Journal, September, 1865. The first two editions of Professor Gross' System of Surgery are so well known to the profession, and so highly prized, that it would be idle for us to speak in praise of this work.- Chicago Medical Journal, September, 1865. We gladly indorse the favorable recommendation of the work, both as regards matter and style, which we made when noticing its first appearance.-British and Foreign Medico-Chimrgical Review, Oct. 1865. The most complete work that has yet issued from the press on the science and practice of surgery.- London Lancet. This system of surgery is, we predict, destined to take a commanding position in our surgical litera- ture, and be the crowning glory of the author's well earned fame. As an authority on general surgical subjects, this work is long to occupy a pre-eminent place, not only at home, but abroad. We have no hesitation in pronouncing it without a rival in our language, and equal to the best systems of surgery in any language.-N. K Med. Journal. Not only by far the best text-book on the subject, as a whole, within the reach of American students, but one which will be much more than ever likely to be resorted to and regarded as a high authority abroad.-Am. Journal Med. Sciences, Jan. 1865. The work contains everything, minor and major, operative and diagnostic, including mensuration and examination, venereal diseases, and uterine manipu- lations and operations. It is a complete Thesaurus of modern surgery, where the student and practi- tioner shall not seek in vain for what they desire.- San Francisco Med. Press, Jan. 1865. Open it where we may, we find sound practical in- formation conveyed in plain language. This hook is no mere provincial or even national system of sur- gery, but a work which, while very largely indebted to the past, has a strong claim on the gratbude of the future of surgical science.-Edinburgh Med. Journal, Jan. 1865. A glance at the work is sufficient to show that the author and publisher have spared no labor in making it the most complete "System of Surgery" ever pub- lished in any country.-St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, April, 1865. The third opportunity is now offered during our editorial life to review, or rather to indorse and re- commend this great American work on Surgery. Upon this last edition a great amount of labor has been expended, though to all others except the author the work was regarded in its previous editions as so full and complete as to be hardly capable of improve- ment. Every chapter has been revised; the text aug- mented by nearly two hundred pages, and a con siderable number of wood-cuts have been introduced. Many portions have been entirely re-written, and the additions made to the text are principally of a prac- tical character. This comprehensive treatise upon surgery has undergone revisions and enlargements, keeping pace with the progress of the art and science of surgery, so that whoever is in possession of this work may consult its pages upon any topic embraced within the scope of its department, and rest satisfied that its teaching is fully up to the present standard of surgical knowledge. It is also so comprehensive that it may truthfully be said to embrace all that is actually known, that is really of any value in the diagnosis and treatment of surgical diseases and acci- dents. Wherever illustration will add clearness to the subject, or make better or more lasting impression, it is not wanting; in this respect the work is eminently superior.-Buffalo Med. Journal, Dec. 1864. A system of surgery which we think unrivalled in our language, and which will indelibly associate his name with surgical science. And wha.t, in our opin- ion, enhances the value of the work is that, while the practising surgeon will find all that he requires in it, it is at the same time one of the most valuable trea- tises which can be put into the hands of the student seeking to know the principles and practice of this branch of the profession which he designs subse- quently to follow.-The Brit.

We are bound to state, and we do so without wish- ing to draw invidious comparisons, that the work of Mr. Erichsen, in most respects, surpasses any that has preceded it. Mr. Erichsen's is a practical work, combining a due proportion of the "Science and Art of Surgery." Having derived no little instruction from it, in many important branches of surgery, we can have no hesitation in recommending it as a valu- able book alike to the practitioner and the student. - Dublin Quarterly. Gives a very admirable practical view of the sci- ence and art of surgery.--Edinburgh Med. and Surg. Journal. We recommend it as the best compendium of sur- gery in our language.-London Lancet. It is, we think, the most valuable practical work on surgery in existence, both for young and old prac- titioners.-Nashville Med. and Surg. Journal. The limited time we have to review this improved edition of a work, the first issue of which we prized as one of the very best, if not the best text-book of surgery with which we were acquainted, permits us to give it but a passing notice totally unworthy of its merits. It may be confidently asserted, that no work on the science and art of surgery has ever received more universal commendation or occupied a higher position as a general text-book on surgery, than this treatise of Professor Erichsen.-Savannah Journal of Medicine. In fulness of practical detail and perspicuity of style, convenience of arrangement and soundness of discrimination, as well as fairness and completeness of discussion, it is better suited to the wants of both student and practitioner than any of its predecessors. -Am. Journal of Med. Sciences. After careful and frequent perusals of Erichsen's surgery, we are at a loss fully to express our admira- tion of it.

All that the surgical student or practitioner could desire.-Dublin Quarterly Journal. It is a most admirable book. We do not know when we have examined one with more pleasure.- Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. In Mr. Druitt's book, though containing only some seven hundred pages, both the principles and the practice of surgery are treated, and so clearly and perspicuously, as to elucidate every important topic. The fact that twelve editions have already been called for, in these days of active competition, would of itself show it to possess marked superiority. We have examined the book most thoroughly, and can say that this success is well merited. His book, moreover, possesses the inestimable advantages of having the subjects perfectly well arranged and clas- sified, and of being written in a style at once clear and succinct.-Am. Journal of Med. Sciences. Whether we view Druitt's Surgery as a guide to operative procedures, or as representing the latest theoretical surgical opinions, no work that we are at present acquainted with can at all compare with it. It is a compendium of surgical theory (if we may use the word) and practice in itself, and well deserves the estimate placed upon it.-Brit. Am. Journal. Thus enlarged and improved, it will continue to rank among our best text-books on elementary sur- gery.-Cohimbus Rm. of Med. and Burg. We must close this brief notice of an admirable work by recommending it to the earnest attention of every medical student.-Charleston Medical Journal and Review. A text-book which the general voice of the profes- sion in both England and America has commended as one of the most admirable "manuals," or, "vade mecum," as its English title runs, which can be placed in the hands of the student. The merits of Druitt's Surgery are too well known to every one to need any further eulogium from us.-Nashville Med. Journal. TJAMILTON {FRANK H.), M.D., Professor of Fractures and Dislocations, &c. in Bellevue Hosp. Med. College, New York. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON FRACTURES AND DISLOCA- TIONS. Third edition, thoroughly revised. In one large and handsome octavo volume of 777 pages, with 294 illustrations, extra cloth, $5 75. {Just Issued.) The demand which has so speedily exhausted two large editions of this work shows that the author has succeeded in supplying a want, felt by the profession at large, of an exhaustive treatise on a frequent and troublesome class of accidents. The unanimous voice of the profession, abroad as well as at home, has pronounced it the most complete work to which the surgeon can refer for information respecting all details of the subject. In the preparation of this new edition; the author has sedulously endeavored to render it worthy a continuance of the favor which has been accorded to it, and the experience of the recent war has afforded a large amount of material which he has sought to turn to the best practical account. In fulness of detail, simplicity of arrangement, and accuracy of description, this work stands unrivalled. So far as we know, no other work on the subject in the English language can be compared with it. While congratulating onr trans-Atlantic brethren on the European reputation which Dr. Hamilton, along with many other American surgeons, has attained, we also may be proud that, in the mother tongue, a classical work has been produced which need not fear compa- rison with the standard treatises of any other nation. -Edinburgh Med. Journal, Dec. 1866. The credit of giving to the profession the only com- plete practical treatise on fractures and dislocations in our language during the present century, belongs to the author of the work before us, a distinguished American professor of surgery; and his book adds one more to the list of excellent practical works which have emanated from his country, notices of which have appeared from time to time in our columns du- ring the last few months.-London Lancet, Dec. 15, 1866. These additions make the work much more valua- ble, and it must be accepted as the most complete monograph on the subject, certainly in our own, if not even in any other language. - American Journal Med.

The appearance of a volume of Mr. Toynbee's, there- fore, in which the subject of aural disease is treated in the most scientific manner, and our knowledge in respect to it placed fully on a par with that which we possess respecting most other organs of the body, is a matter for sincere congratulation. We may rea- sonably hope that henceforth the subject of this trea- tise will cease to be among the opprobria of medical science.-London Medical Review. The work, as was stated at the outset of our notice, is a model of its kind, and every page and paragraph of it are worthy of the most thorough study. Con- sidered all in all-as an original work, well written, philosophically elaborated, and happily illustrated with cases and drawings-it is by far the ablest mo- nograph that has ever appeared on the anatomy and diseases of the ear, and one of the most valuable con- tributions to the art and science of surgery in the nineteenth century.-N.

No book on ophthalmic surgery was more needed. Designed, as it is, for the wants of the busy practi- tioner, it is the ne plus ultra, of perfection. It epito- mizes all the diseases incidental to the eye in a clear and masterly manner, not only enabling the practi- tioner readily to diagnose each variety of disease, but affording him the more important assistance of proper treatment. Altogether this is a work which ought certainly to be in the hands of every general practi- tioner.-Dublin Med. Press and Circular, Sept. 12, '66. We cordially recommend this book to the notice of our readers, as containing an excellent outline of modern ophthalmic surgery.-British Med. Journal, October 13, 1866. Not only, as its modest title suggests, a "Handy- Book" of Opblhalmic Surgery, but an excellent and well-digested r&sumi of all that is of practical value in the specialty.-New York Medical Journal, No- vember, 1866. This object the authors have accomplished in a highly satisfactory manner, and we know no work we can more highly recommend to the "busy practi- tioner" who wishes to make himself acquainted with the recent improvements in ophthalmic science. Such a work as this was much wanted at this time, and this want Messrs. Laurence and Moon have now well supplied.-Am. Journal Med. Sciences, Jan. 1867. TONES {T. WHARTON), F R.

We can recommend this volume of Mr Ashton's in the strongest terms, as containing all the latest details of the pathology and treatment of diseases connected with the rectum.-Canada Med. Journ., March, 1866. This is a new and carefully revised edition of one of the most valuable special treatises that the phy- sician and surgeon can have in his library.-Chicago Medical Examiner, Jan. 1866. The short period which has elapsed since the ap- pearance of the former American reprint, and the numerous editions published in England, are the best arguments we can offer of the merits, and of the use- lessness of any commendation on our part of a book already so favorably known to our readers.-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, Jan. 25, 1866. Henry C. Lea's Publications-{Medical Jurisprudence, &c.}. 31 fT<AYLOR {ALFRED S.\ M.D., A Lecturer on Med. Jurisp. and Chemistry in Guy's Hospital. MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE.

In one large octavo volume of 776 pages, extra cloth, $4 50 ; leather, $5 50. (Now Ready.} Considerable additions have been made by the editor to this edition, comprising some important sections from the author's larger work, " The Principles and Practice of Medical Jurisprudence," as well as references to American law and practice. The notes of the former editor, Dr. Harts- horne, have likewise been retained, and the whole is presented as fully worthy to maintain the distinguished position which the work has acquired as a leading text-book and authority on the subject. elaborate treatises.-New York Medical Record, Feb. 15, 1867. The present edition of this valuable manual is a great improvement on those which have preceded it. Some admirable instruction on the subjectof evidence and the duties and responsibilities of medical wit- nesses has been added by the distinguished author, and some fifty cuts, illustrating chiefly the crystalline forms and microscopic structure of substances used as poisons, inserted. The American editor has also introduced several chapters from Dr. Taylor's larger work, "The Principles and Practice of Medical Juris- prudence," relating to trichiniasis, sexual malforma- tion, insanity as affecting civil responsibility, suicidal mania, and life insurance, &c., which add considerably to its value. Besides this, he has introduced nume- rous references to cases which have occurred in this country. It makes thus by far the best guide-book in this department of medicine for students and the general practitioner in our language.-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, Dec. 27, 1866. Taylor's Medical Jurisprudence has been the text- book in our colleges for years, and the present edi- ■ tion, with the valuable additions made by the Ameri- । can editor, render it the most standard work of the day, on the peculiar province of medicine on which j it treats. The American editor, Dr. Hartshorne, has 1 done his duty to the text, and, upon the whole, we cannot but consider this volume the best and richest i treatise on medical jurisprudence in our language.- I Brit. Am. Med. Journal. A new edition of a work acknowledged as a stand- ard authority everywhere within the range of the English language. Considering the new matter intro- duced, on trichiniasis and other subjects, and the plates representing the crystals of poisons, etc., it may fairly be regarded as the most compact, comprehen- sive, and practical work on medical jurisprudence which has issued from the press, and the one best fitted for students.-Pacific Med. and Surg. Journal, Feb. 1857. The sixth edition of this popular work comes to us in charge of a new editor, Mr. Penrose, of the Phila- delphia bar, who has done much to render it useful, not only to the medical practitioners of this country, but to those of his own profession Wisely retaining the references of the former American editor, Dr. Hartshorne, he has added many valuable notes of his own. The reputation of Dr. Taylor's work is so well established, that it needs no recommendation. He is now the highest living authority on all matters con- nected with forensic medicine, and every successive edition of his valuable work gives fresh assurance to his many admirers that he will continue to maintain his well-earned position. No one should, in fact, be without a text-book on the subject, as he does not know but that his next case may create for him an emergency for its use. To those who are not the for- tunate possessors of a reliable, readable, interesting, and thoroughly practical work upon the subject, we would earnestly recommend this, as forming the best groundwork for all their future studies of the more (FORBES), M.D., D.C.L., ^c.

Of the merits of Dr. Winslow's treatise the profes- sion has sufficiently judged. It has taken its place in the front rank of the works upon the special depart- ment of practical medicine to which it pertains.- Cincinnati Journal of Medicine, March, 1866. It is an interesting volume that will amply repay for a careful perusal by all intelligent readers.- Chicago Med. Examiner, Feb. 1S66. A work which, like the present, will largely aid the practitioner in recognizing and arresting the first insidious advances of cerebral and mental disease, is one of immense practical value, and demands earnest attention and diligent study on the part of all who have embraced the medical profession, and have thereby undertaken responsibilities in which the welfare and happiness of individuals and families are largely involved. We shall therefore close this brief and necessarily very imperfect notice of Dr. Winslow's great and classical work by expressing our conviction that it is long since so important and beautifully written a volume has issued from the British medical press. The details of the manage- ment of confirmed cases of insanity more nearly in- terest those who have made mental diseases their special study; but Dr. Winslow's masterly exposi- tion of the early symptoms, and his graphic descrip tions of the insidious advances of incipient insanity, together with his judicious observations on the treat- ment of disorders of the mind, should, we repeat, be carefully studied by all who have undertaken the responsibilities of medical practice.-Dublin Medical Press. It is the most interesting as well as valuable book that we have seen for a long time. It is truly fasci- nating.-Am. Jour. Med. Sciences. Dr. Winslow's work will undoubtedly occupy an unique position in the medico-psychological litera- ture of this country.-London Med. Review. 32 Henry C. Lea's Publications. INDEX TO CATALOGUE.
