The information is everywhere very full, great care having been taken to collect large masses of statistics from various sources, and yet, while this is so, the author is not lost behind a mass of opinions and observations of others, but the practical aim of the work is throughout kept in view, and we are conscious to a very large extent of reading the outcome of a large and wide experience. We know of no text-book of surgery where fulness of de- tail is more successfully blended with the record of per- sonal experience and opinion.—Lancet, May 3, 1884. Aglie\V,E. C. 1.

Without anything remarkable in power or new in in- cident, Mr. Aid6 always succeeds in engaging and holding our attention. And we think this is done chiefly by his great carefulness. The plot is carefully worked out, without . . . that ignoring of likelihood, and even possibility, so common in the hurriedly-written novels of the present day. And he is careful in his writing: his English is simple, correct, and elegant. Moreover, he is alwavs on the side of high principle and pure morality.—^Speciaior, Ixvi. 929.
