Many years ago it earned for itself tlio enviable rep- utation of the leading Amerienn work on surgery, and it is still capable of maintaining that standarij. J he reason for tliis need onlv be mentioned to be appreciated. The author hits always been calm and judicious in his statements, has1}asod his con- clusions on much study and personal experience, has been able to grasp his subject in its entirety, and. above all, has conseieiitiously adhered to truth and fact, weighing the evidence, pro and ro7i, accordingly. A considerable amount of new material has been introduced, and altogether the distinguished author lias reason to be satisfied that he has placed the work fully abreast of the state of our knowledge.—ilfcd. Record, Nov. 18,1882. We have purposely abstained from comment or criticism of the book before us. It has formerly been noticed more than once in our columns, and it IS enough now to remark that the present edition fully maintains the reputation the work has ac- quired. Though Professor Gross' book is the out- come of his college lectures, the several parts have been extended, elaborated and amplified, till it lias become a complete and systematic book of reference alike for the .student and the practi- tioner.— The London Lancei, Jan. 27, 1883.

Tb<- author has conscientiously revised every page of the fifth edition, and in doing so liasVound it necessary to rewrite nearly every chapter, noting f he extraordinary strides which .s'urgery ha.s made during the past fifty ymv^.—Ciiicinnatt Laucel nii'l C/mic, Nov. 11, 1882. We regard Gross' System of .Surgery not onlv a.s a singularly rich storehouse of .scientific informa- tion, but as marking an epoch in the literary hi.s- tory of surgery. The present edition has received the most careful revision at tlie hands of the emi- nent author himself, assisted in various instam-es by able specialists in various branches. All de] art- ments of the vast and ever-increasing literature of the .science have been drawn uiion for their most recent expressions. The late advances made in surgical practice liave been caiefullv noted, su< h as the recent developments of Listerism and the improvements in gynteeological operations. Jn every respect the work reflects lasting credit on American medical literature.—Jl/rr?)>f(/ rnul Sur'/ical Revorter. Nov. 11. 1882. ASHHUBST, JOBLN, Jr., M.
