The reputation wiiioli this work has acquired as a comijacl and convenient sumniarv of the most advanced condition of luuiian physiology renders it only necessarv to state iliat the Author has assiduously labored to render the i)resent edition wortliv a continuance of the marked favor accorded to previous issues, and that every care has been besU)wed uijon the typographical execution to make it, as heretofore, one of the handsomest productions ot the American jiress. The merits of Professor Dalton's text-book, liis smooth and pleasing stj'le, the remarliable clear- ness of his <,lescri]Jtions, which leave not a chapter obscure, his cautious judgment and the general correctness of his facts, are perfeetlv known. They have made his text-book the one' most familiar to American students.—il/erf. Record, March 4, 1882. Certainly no phy.^iologieal work has ever issued from the press that presented its subject-matter in a clearer and more attractive light. Almost every page bears evidence of the exhaustive revision that has taken place. The material is placed in a more compact form, yet its delightful charm is re- tained, and no subject is thrown into obscurity. Altogether this edition is far in advance of any previous one, and will tend to keep the profession posted as to the most recent additions U> our physiological knowledge.—itfic/i/wtH Mclical yens, April, 1882. One can scarcely open a college catalogue that does not have mention of Dalton's I'hiisioUjijii as the recommended text or consultation-book. For American students we would unreservedly rep.om- mend the edition of Dr. Dalton's work now before us. Let it sufiice to state that revi-^ions have been made to such an extent as to bring the volume as fully up to the present state of phy.siological knowl- edge as it is practicable for any author of a book to do.— Virt/inia Medical Monthhi, .July, 1882. FOSTEB, MICHAEL, M. !>., F. B. S., Professor of Phi/siohgi/ in Cambrid'ie Univevsitu, England. Text-Book of Physiology. Second American from the latest English edition.

This work conforms to the latest researches into zoology and comparative anatomy, and takes into consid- eration the late discoveries in physiological chem- istry and the experiments in localization of Ferrier and others. The arrangement followed is such as to render the whole subject lucid and well con- nected in its various parts.—C/iicacyo Medical Jour- nal atui Examiner, August, 1882. Dr. Miciiael Foster's Manual of Phiisioloqv has been translated into the German^ with a preface, by Professor Kiihne. Kiihne points out in his preface that the abundant material, in spite of the moderate size, is not condensed to .sj'steniatic shortness, but the whole is related in a narrative style. Further on he writes: To give to students and physicians a book which is not intended merely for reference, but which, bj' its flowing, lively style, invites the reader to go through it, fs always useful, especially when tTie contents, in- cluding numerous matters in a state of active dis- cussion in which physiology is now so rich, in- struct with truth and calm irnpartiality. Such the author has preserved throughout. The transla- tion of it into German is a well-merited compli- ment, since Germany is the especial home of physiology, and its literature is abundantly rich in te.xt-books, monographs and periodicals on physi- olog}'.—American Med.

Cloth, §5.50; leather, $6.50; half Russia, ?7. the fullest sense of the word, is the production of AVithout departing materially from the judicious arrangement which the author originally chose, the latest researches in physiology iiave Ijeen in- troduced, and with a careful hand. The Ameri- can editor has added what few paragraphs were necessary to bring the work up to the level of the science since the last Engli.sli edition, and has thus rendered it a thoroughly complete compen- dium of physiology. Altogether there are few, if any, treatises on the subject so well calculated to attract and instruct a student as this one.—Medical and Surcjical Reporter, Dec. 2, 187fi. The editors have, with their additions to the only work on physiology in our language that, in a philosopher as well as a physiologist, brought it up fiilly to the standard of our knowledge of its subject at the present day. The additions by the American editor give to the work as it is a consid- erable value beyond that of the last English edi- tion. We have been agreeably surprised to find the volume so complete in regard to the structure and functions of the nervous system in all its rela- tions—a subject that in many respects is one of the most difficult of all, in the whole range of physiology, upon which to produce a full and .satis- fac'torv treatise of the class to which the one l>e- fore us belongs.—//.o/iVcrr. and Ment.
