    ATLAS OF SKIN DISEASES, OOHSISTING OF A Series of Illustrations, together with Descriptive Text and Notes upon Treatment. By tilbury FOX, M.D., F.R.C.P., Physician to the Department for Slcin Diseases in University College Hospital. In 18 Monthly. Parts, each containing Fonr Coloured Plates (several Figures), royal 4to, 6s. 6d. each. The complete Work, Half-Morocco, £6, 6s. No Atlas of Skin Diseases has laeen issued in this country for many years, and no complete work of the kind is now procurable by . the Profession. The present work, brought out under the editorial care and supervision of Dr. Tilbury Fox, is partly based upon the classical work of Willan and Bateman (now entirely out of print), but completely remodelled, so as to fully represent the Dermatology of the pi'esent day. The work is completed in eighteen monthly parts, each containing forvr plates (several figures), all coloured and executed in the best style of chromo-lithography, with descriptive letter-press. Many of the plates are made from original drawings most satisfactorily exe- cuted from life. The chief aim of the Editor has been to portray, not so much the uncommon, as the common forms of skin diseases, that the Atlas may be a trustworthy and practical book to meet the requii'ements of daily practice. We are inclined to think that our coirntrymen generally will give pi'eference [over the Sydenham Society's reproduction of Hebra] to this ])rivate English venture ; not simply, however, because it is a home pi'oduction, but by reason of the manner of its execution, the excellent delineation of disease, and the natural coloming of the plates.—Jirit. and For. Med.-Ghir. Review. Judging from the merits of the drawings in this part, we have little hesitation in saying that the completed work will prove to be one of the best atlases of the more common forma of sltin diseases extant.—Lancet.
