    MARSHALL [JOHN], F. B. S., Professor of Surgery in University Oollege, London, &e. OUTLINES OF PHYSIOLOGY, HUMAN AND COMPARATIYE. With Additions by Francis Gurnet Smith, M. D., Professor of the Institutes of Medi- cine in the University of Pennsylvania, &c. With numerous illustrations. In one large and handsome octavo volume, of 1026 pages, extra cloth, $6 50 ; leather, raised bands, In fact, in every respect, Mr. Marshall has present- ed us with a most complete, reliable, and scientific work, and we feel that it is worthy our warmest commendation.—St. Louis Med. Reporter, Jan. 1869. We doubt if there is in the English language any compend of physiology more useful to the student than this wox'k.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, Jan.1869. It quite fulfils, in onr opinion, the author's design of making it truly educational in its character—which is, perhaps, the highest commendation that can be asked.—Am. Journ. Med. Sciences, Jan. 1869. We may now congratulate him on having com- pleted the latest as well as the best summary of mod- ern physiological science, both human and compara- tive, with which we are acquainted. To speak of this work in the terms ordinarily used on such occa- sions would not be agreeable to ourselves, and would fail to do justice to its author. To write such a book requires a varied and wide range of knowledge, con siderable power of analysis, correct judgment, skill in arrangement, and conscientious spirit.—London Lancet, Feb. 22, 1868. There are few, if any, more accomplished anatomists and physiologists than the distinguished professor of surgery at University College; and he has long en joyed the highest reputation as a teachej of physiol- ogy, possessing remarkable powers of clea; 9xposition~ and graphic illustration. We have rarel> the plea- sure of being able to recommend a text-bool< so unre- servedly as this.—British Med. Journal, Jau 25,1868. 'CARPENTER {WILLIAM B.), M.D., F.^.S., Examiner in Physiology and Comparative Anatomy in the University of London. PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY; with their chief appli- cations to Psychology, Pathology, Therapeutics, Hygiene and Forensic Medicine. A neif* American from the last and revised London edition. With nearly three hundred illustrations. Edited, with additions, by Francis Gurney Smith, M. D., Professor of the Institutes of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, &c. In one very large and beautiful octavo volume, of about 900 large pages, handsomely printed; extra cloth, $5 60 ; leather, raised bands, $6 50. 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. 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. 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. Journal. JDT THE SAME AUTHOR. PRINCIPLES OF COMPARATIVE PHYSIOLOGY. New Ameri- can, from the Fourth and Revised London Edition. In one large and handsome octavo volume, with over three hundred beautiful illustrations. Pp.752. Extra cloth, $5 00. As a complete and condensed treatise on its extended and important subject, this work becomes a necessity to students of natural science, while the very low-price at which it is olfered places it within the reach of all. jriRKES [WILLIAM SENHOUSE), M.D. A MANUAL OF PHYSIOLOGY. Edited by W. Morrant Baker, M.D., F.R.C.S. A new American from the eighth and improved London edition. With about two hundred and fifty illustrations. In one large and handsome royal 12mo. vol- ume. Cloth, $3 25 ; leather, $3 75. {Now Ready.) Kirkes' Physiology has long been known as a concise and exceedingly convenient text-book, presenting within a narrow compass all that is important for the student. The rapidity with which successive editions have followed each other in England has enabled the editor to keep it thoroughly on a level with the changes and new discoveries made in the science, and the eighth edition, of which the present is a reprint, has appeared so recently that it may be regarded as the latest accessible exposition of the subject. On the whole, there is very little in the book which either the student or practitioner will not find of practical value and consistent with our present knowledge of this rapidly changing science ; and we have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that this eighth edition is one of the best handbooks on physiology which we have in our language.—N. Y. Med. Record, April 16, 1873. This volume might well be used to replace many of the physiological text-books in use in this coun- try. It represents more accurately than the works of Dalton or Flint, the present state of our knowl- edge of most physiological questions, while il is much less bulky and far more readable than the lar- ger text-books of Carpenter or Marshall. The book is admirably adapted to be placed in the hands of students.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journ., April 10, 1873.
