ANALYTICAL COMPENDIUM OF THE VARIOUS BRANCHES OP MEDICAL SCIENCE; for the Use and Examination of Students. A new edition, revised and improved.

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.—iV. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal. There are but few students or practitioners of me- dicine unacquainted with the former editions of this auassuming though highly instructive work. _ The whole science of medicine appears to have been sifted, &6 the gold-bearing sands of El Dorado, and the pre- In the rapid course of lectures, where work for tfee 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. Of course it is useless for us to recommend 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—thpt class is the graduates 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 exactly now what it was when they left it oS.—The Stethoscope. JTARTSHORNE {HENRY), M.

A CONSPECTUS OF THE MEDICAL SCIENCES; containing Handbooks on Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Materia Medica^ Practical Medicine, Surgery, and Obstetrics. In one large royal 12mo. volume of 1000 closely printed pages, with over 300 illustrations on wood, extra cloth, $4 50 j leather, raised bands, $5 25. (Lately Published.) The ability of the author, and his practical skill in condensation, give assurance that this work will prove valuable not only to the student preparing for examination, but also to the prac- titioner desirous of obtaining within a moderate compass, a view of the existing condition of the various departments of science connected with medicine. less valuable to the beginner. Every medical student who desires a reliable refresher to his memory whea the pressure of lectures and other college work crowds to prevent him from having an opportunity to diiuk deeper in the larger works, will find this one of th<s greatest utility. It is thoroughly trustworthy from beginning to end; and as we have before intimated, a remarkably truthful outline sketch of the present state of medical science. We could hardly expect it should be otherwise, however, under the charge of such a thorough medical scholar as the author has already proved himself to be.—N. York Med. Record. March 15, 1869. This work is a remarkably complete one in its way, and comes nearer to our idea of what a Conspectus should be than any we have yet seen. Prof. Harts- horne, with a commendable forethought, intrusted the preparation of many of the chapters on special subjects to experts, reserving only anatomy, physio- logy, an^ practice of medicine to himself. As a result we have every department worked up to the latest date and in a refreshingly concise and lucid manner. There are an immense amount of illustrations scat- tered throughout the work, and although they have often been seen before in the various works upon gen- eral and special subjects, yet they will be none the I UDLOW {J.L.), M.D, MANUAL OF EXAMINATIONS upon Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia Medica, Chemistry, Pharmacy, and Therapeutics.

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. rPANNER {THOMAS HA WKES), M.D., Sfc. A MANUAL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE AND PHYSICAL DIAG- NOSIS. Third American from the Second London Edition. Revised and Enlarged by Tilbury Fox, M.

By reference to the Prospectus of Journal on page 3, it will be seen that this work is offered as a premium for procuring new subscribers to the American Journal of the Medicajci Sciences. Taken as a whole, it is the most compact vade me- cum for the use of the advanced student and junior practitioner with which we are acquainted.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, Sept. 22, 1870. It contains so much that is valuable, presented in 60 attractive a form, that it can hardly be spared even in the presence of more full and complete works. The additions made to the volume by Mr. Fox very materially enhance its value, and almost make it a new work. Its convenient size makes it a valuable companion to the country practitioner, and if con- stantly carried by him, would often render him good service, and relieve many a doubt and perpjexi^ty.— Leavenworth Med. Herald, July, 1870. The objections commonly, and justly, urged against the general run of compends, conspectuses, and other aids to indolence, are not applicable to this little volume, which contains in concise phrase just those practical details that are of most use in daily diag- nosis, but which the young practitioner finds it diffi- cult to carry always in his memory without some quickly accessible means of reference. Altogether, the book is one which we can heartily commend to those who have not opportunity for extensive read- ing, or who, having read much, still wish an occa- sional practical reminder.—N. ¥.
