$PRICHSEN {JOHN E.), Professor of Surgery in University College, London, etc. THE SCIENCE AND ART OF SURGERY; being a Treatise on Sur- gioal Injuries, Diseases, and Operations. Revised by the author from the Sixth and enlarged English Edition. Illustrated by over seven hundred engravings on wood. In two large and beautiful octavo volumes of over 1700 pages, extra cloth, $9 00 ; leather, $11 00. I^Just Ready.) Author^s Preface to the New American Edition. The favorable reception with which the ' Science and Art of Surgery' has been honored by the Surgical Profession in the United States of America has been not only a source of deep gratifica- tion and of just pride to me, but has laid the foundation of many professional friendships that are amongst the agreeable and valued recollections of my life. I have endeavored to make the present edition ofthis work more deserving than its predecessors of the favor that has been accorded to them. In consequence of delays that have unavoidably occurred in the publication of the Sixth British Edition, time has been a fforded to me to add to this one several paragraphs which Itrustwill be found to increase the practical value of the work. London, Oct. 1S72. On no former edition of this work has the author bestowed more pains to render it a complete and satisfactory exposition of British Surgery in its modern aspects. Every portion has been sedu- lously revised, and a large number of new illustrations have been introduced. In addition to the material thus added to the English edition, the author has furnished for the American edition such material as has accumulated since the passage of the sheets through the press in London, so that the work as now presented to the American profession, contains his latest views and experience. The increase in the size of the work has seemed to render necessary its division into two vol- umes. Great care has been exercised in its typographical execution, and it is confidently pre- sented as in every respect worthy to maintain the high reputation which has rendered it a stand- ard authority on this department of medical science. These are only a few of the points in which the j states in his preface, they are not confined to any one present edition of Mr. Erichsen's work surpasses its i portion, but are distributed generally through the predecessors. Throughout there is evidence of laborious care and solicitude in seizing the passing knowledge of the day, which reflects the greatest credit on the author,' and much enhances the value of his work. We can only admire the industry which subjects of which the work treats Certainly one of the most valuable sections of the book seems to us to be that which treats of the diseases of the arteries and the operative proceedings which they necessitate. In few text-books is so much carefully arranged in- has enabled Mr. Erichsen thus to succeed, amid the ; formation collected.—London Med. Times and Gaz. distractions of active practice, in producing emphatic- ally the book of reference and study for British prac- titioners of surgery.—London Lancet, Oct. 26, 1872. Considerable changes have been made in this edi- tion, and nearly a hundred new illustrations have been added. It is dif&cultin a small compass to point out the alterations and additions : for, as the author Oct. 26, 1872. The entire work, complete, as the great English treatise on Surgery of our own time, is, we can assure our readers, equally well adapted for the most j uuior student, and, as a book Of reference, for the advanced practitioner.—Dublin Quarterly Journal.

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.
