Reynolds' Systesi of Medicine, recently completed, has acquired, since the first ap- pearance of the first volume, the well-deserved reputation of being the work in which modern British medicine is presented in its fullest and most practical form, ihis coukl scarce be otlierwisc in view of the fact that it is the result of the collal oration of the lead- ing minds of the profession, eacli subject being treated by some gentleman who is^ regarded as its highest authority—as, for instance, diseases of the bladder by Sir Henry ihompson malposition of the uterus by Graily Hewitt, insanity Viy Henry Maudsley, consumption by J Hughes Bennet, diseases of the spine by Charles Bland Pvadclifle, pericarditis by Francis Sibson, alcoholism by Francis E. Anstie, renal affections by William Koberts, asthmii by Hyde Salter, cereliral affections by H. Cliarlton Bastian, gout and rheumatism by Alfred Baring Garrod, constitutional svphilisby Jonathan Hutchinson, diseases of the stomach by AVilson Fox, disea.ses of the skin by Balmanno Squire, affections of tlie larynx by Morell have contributed their best men, in generous rivalry, to build up this monument of medical science. That a Avork conceived in such a spirit and carried out under sucii auspices should prove an indispensable treasury of facts and experience, suited to the daily wantsot the practitioner, was inevitable; and the success which it has enjoyed in England, and the reputation wliich it lias iU'quired on tliis side of the Atlantic, liave sealed it with the ap- probation of the two pre-eminently practical nations. , , Its large size and high price having kept it beyond the reach of many practitioners in this country who desire to possess it, a demand has arisen for an edition at a price wliu h shall render it accessible to all. To meet this demand the present edition has been under- taken. The five volumes and five thousand pages- of the original have, by the use of a smaller type and double columns, been compressed into three volumes of over three thousand pages, clearly and handsomely printed, and oflered at _a price which renders it one of the cheapest works ever presented to the American profession. But not only is the American edition more convenient and lower priced than the Eng- lish ; it is also better and more complete. Some years having elapsed since tlie appearance of a portion of the work, additions were required to bringup the sulijects to the existing con- dition of science. Some diseases, also, which are coin]jarativcly unimportant in England, require more elaborate treatment to adapt the articles devoted to them to tlie wants of the American phvsician; and there are points on which the received practice in this country differs from that adopted abroad. The supplying of these deficiencies has been undertaken by Henry Hartshorne, M. D., late Professor of Hygiene in the University of Pennsyl- vania, who has endeavored to render the work fully up to the day, and as useful to the American physician as it has proved to be to his English brethren. The number of illus- trations has also been largely increased, and no effort spared to render the typographical execution unexceptionable in every respect. Certainly no work with which we are acquainted has ever been given to the English-reading profes- sion which treats of so many diseases in a manner so concise and thorough, and withal so lucid and trustworthy. In that branch of medicine in which the rardv and file of the profession are mninlv in- terested, viz., the practical part, therapeutics, Rey- nolds, without intendingany invidious comparison, st.'Uids pre-eminent. The therapeutics of the Eng- lish correspond more closely than those of any other couiitrv with tliose of this country, and the Amei'ican editor of Reynolds' has brought this branch up to the most advanced American stand- ard.—iV/ic/t/jfrtu Medical Nars, Feb. 15, 1880. There is no medical work which we have in times past more frequently and fully consulted when perplexed by doubts as to treatment, or by having unusual or apparently inexplicable symp- toms'presented to us, than Reynolds' System of Medicine. It contains just that kind of informa- tion which the busy practitioner frequently finds liimself in need of. In order thatanj' deficiencies may be supplied, the publishers liave committed the preparation of the book for the press to Dr. Henry Hartshorne, whose judicious notes distrili- uted throughout the volume afford abundant evi- dence of the thoroughness of the revision to which he has subjected it.—.■l?/ie9'i'cnfi Journal of the Med- ical /Sciences, Jan. 1880.
