This great work, issued some years since iu England, has won such universal confi- dence wherever the language is spoken that its repuhlication here, in a form more thorougJily adapted to tlie wants of the American practitioner, has seemed to be a dutv owing to the profession. To accomplish this, each article has been placed in the iiands of a gentleman specially competent to treat its subject, and no labor has been spared to brint; each one up to the foremost level of the times, and to adapt it tiioroughlv to the practice ot tlie country. In certain cases this has rendered necessarv tlie sub.stitution of an entirelv new essav for the original, as in tlie case of tlie articles on Skin Diseases and on Disea.ses ot tlie Absorbent System, where the views of the authors have lieen superseded bv the advaiTce of medical science, and new articles have therefore been prepared by Drs. Arthur \ an Harhngen and S. C. Busey, respectively. So also in the case of An»stlietic-s, in the use ot which American practice differs from that of England, the original has been supple- mented with a new essay by ,1. C. Reeve, M. D. The same careful and conscientious revision has been pursued throughout, leading to an increase of nearly one-fourth in matter, while the series of illustrations has l)een nearly trebled, and the whole is pre.sented as a complete exponent of British and American Siirgerv, adapted to the daily needs of the working practitioner. In order to luing it within the reach of every member of the profession, the five vol- umes of the original have been compressed into three by emploving a double-columned royal octavo page, and in this improved form it is offered at less than one-half the ijrice of the • original. It is printed and Iwund to match in every detail with Reynolds' System of Jkledi- cine. The work will be sold by subscription only, and in due time every member of the profession will be called upon and offered an opportunity to subscribe.

Mr. Holmes is a surgeon of large and varied ex- perience, and one of the best known, and perliap.s the most brilliant writer upon .surgical subjects in England. It is a book for student.s—and ah admi- recognition of the advances made in our knowledge during the ten years since its first publication, but also for a presentation of the variations in jirar'tice which eharacterize .American siirgervand distinguish it from that of (ireat Britain. Tlie table one—and for the bu.sy general ))rafititionor. It will give a student all thc'knowledge noedod to pass a rigid examination. The book fairly justifies the high expectations that were formed at it. Its style is clear and forcible, even brilliant at times, anrl the conciseness needed to bring it within it.s proper limits ha'' not impaired its force and dis- tinctness.—.V. ]'. Med. Record, .April H, 18li. It will be found a most excellent epitome of sur- gery by the general practitioner who has not the time to give attention to more minute and extend- ed works, and to the medical student. In fact, we know of no one we ca'n more cordially recom- mend. The author lias succeeded well in giv- ing a plain and practical account of each surgical injury and disease, and of the treatment wliicli is most commonly advi.sable. It will no doubt be- come a popiilar'work in the profession, and espe- ciallv as a text-book.—Cincin.
