The Awful and Ethical Allegory OF EEUTEE0I0IY SMITH Or, The Life History of a Medical Student. •This excellent series of University sketches are a sort of Pilgrim's Progress of Edinburgh University studentdom, recording the gradual development of the medical, from the crude and chrysalis stage to that of his full-grown and perfect butterfly existence, and the moral of the tale lies in this, that it is of universal application; and the medical of to-day can read in it lessons for himself just as sound as the generation for whom it was written. The humour of the narrative lies largely in this, that it is written in the Biblical style, which gives to the incidents related a naivete that is often irresistible.'—College Column. Crown 8vo., 411 pp., price 3s. 6d. CLAUDE GARTON A Story of Dunburgh Student Life. By THOMAS J. HENRY, F.R.C.S.E., AUTHOR OF 'DEUTERONOMY SMITH.' 'This highly interesting story by the author of Deuteronomy Smith. itself an excellent testimonial, deals with the life and adventures of a medical student. We are introduced to many whose names are curiously familiar. The story is interestingly written, and will be read with avidity by Edinburgh men in particular and medical students in general'—The Student. 1 Mr Henry has given us a very striking book, even more powerful, in its way, than George Moore's masterpiece, Esther Waters. It describes the experiences of a medical student in Edinburgh, from his entry to the day when he is capped for his diploma, and each scene stands out distinct and clear, a triumph of detailed and effective realism. To read these chapters is never to forget them; it is as though we had been present at the scenes described Conan Doyle has done nothing better. Mr Henry has done for the Medical School of Edinburgh what Tom Hughes did for Rugby.'—Sheffield Daily Telegraph. 'The story is one of extraordinary fascination and dramatic power '—Si James Gazette.
