    fJARTSRORNE {HENRY), M.D,, A J. Professor of Hygiene in the University of Pennsylvania. ESSENTIALS OP THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF MEDI- CINE. A handy-book for Students and Practitioners. Third edition, revised and im- proved. In one handsome royal ]2mo. volume of 487 pages, clearly printed on small typ«, cloth, $2 38; half bound, $2 63. {Just Issued.) The very remarkable favor which has been bestowed upon this work, as manifested in the ex- haustion of two large editions within four years, shows that it has successfully supplied a want felt by both student and practitioner of a volume which at a moderate price and in a convenient size should afford a clear and compact view of the most modern teachings in medical practice. In preparing the work for a third edition, the author has sought to maintain its character by very numerous additions, bringing it fully up to the science of the day, but so concisely framed that the size of the volume is increased only by thirty or forty pages. The extent of the new informa- tion thus introduced may be estimated by the fact that there have been two hundred and sixty separate additions made to the text, containing references to one hundred and eighty new authors. ' ' ' ' ' mulas are appended, intended as examples merely, not as gaides for unthinking practitioners. A com- plete index facilitates the use of this little volume, in which all important remedies lately introduced, such as chloral hydrate and carbolic acid, have received their full share of attention.—J:m. Journ. of Pharm., Nov. 1871. It is an epitome of the whole science and p7actic« of medicine, and will be found most valuable to tha practitioner for easy reference, and espe(^iaily to the student in attendance upon lectures, whose time is too much occupied with many studies, to consult the larger works. Such a work must always be in great demand,—(7i«ci7i7iai-j Med. Repertory, Nov. 1871. This little epitome of medical knowledge has al ready been noticed by us. It is a vade mecum of Vrtlue, including in a short spaee most of what is es- sential in the science and practice of medicine. The third edition is well up to the present day in the modern methods of treatment, and in the use of newly discovered drugs.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, Oct. 1», 1871. Certainly very few volumes contain so much pre- cise information within so small a compass.—Y. Med. Journal, Nov. 1871. The diseases are conveniently classified; symptoms, causation, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment are carefully considered, the whole being marked by briefness, but clearness of expression.

Edited, with additions, and several hundred illus- trations, by Henry Haktshokne, M.D., Professor of Hygiene in the University of Penn- sylvania. In two large and handsome 8vo. vols.

The aathov's rare combination of great scientific attainments combined with won- derful forensic eloquence has exerted extraordiuary influence over the last two generations of physicians. His clinical descriptions of most diseases ha\'e neveT been equalled; and on this score at least his work will live long in the future. The work will be sought by all who appreciate a great book.—Ajiitr. Jo2irnal of Sy-philogra'phy, July, 1872. We are exceedingly gratified at the reception oi' this new edition of Watson, pre-eminently the priuce of English authors, on Practice. We, who read the first edition as it came to us tardily and in frag- ments through the Medical News and Library, shall never forget the great pleasure and profit we derived from its graphic delineations of disease, its vigorous style and splendid English. Maturity of years, extensive observation, profound research, and yet continuoias eatbusiasm, have combined to give us in this latest edition a model of professional excellence in teaching with rare beauty in the mode of communication. But this classic needs no eulo- gium of ours.—Chicago Med. Journ., July, 1S72. At length, after many months of expectation, we have the satisfaction of finding ourselves this week in possession of a revised and enlarged edition of Sir Thomas Watson's celebrated Lectures. It is a sub- ject for congratulation and for thankfulness that Sir Thomas Watson, during a period of comparative lei- sure, after a long, laborious, and most honorable pro- fessional career, while retaining full possession of his high mental faculties, should have employed the op- pv)rtUQity to submit his Lectures to a more thorough revision than was possible during the earlier and busier period of his life. Carefully passing in review some of the most intricate and important pathological and practical questions, the results of his clear insight and his calm judgment are now recorded for the bene- fit of mankind, in language which, for precision, vigor, and classical elegance, has rarely been equalled, and never surpassed The revision has evidently been most carefully done, and the results appear in almost every page.—Brit. Med. Journ., Oct. 14, 1871. The Jectnres are so well known and so justly appreciated, that it is scarcely necessary to do more than cail attention to the special advantages of the last over previous editions. In the revi- sion, the author has displayed all the charms and ^UNGLISON, FORBES, TWEED IE, AND CONOLLY.
