Its circulation will, I trust, be extensive throughout We recommend the student who. desires:to mas- ter this difficult subject with the least possible trouble, to possess himself at once of a copy of this work,—American Journal of the Med.

We consider this book indispensable to the library of every physician engaged in the practice of midwifery.— Southern Med. and Surg. Journal, — _ When the whole profession is thus unanimous in placing such a work in the very first rank as regards the extent and correctness of all the details of the theory and practice of so important a branch of learning, Our commendation or condemnation would be of little consequence; but regarding it as the most useful of all works of the kind we think it but an act of justice to urge its claims upon the profession.—N.

BY THE SAME AUTHOR. (Vow Ready.) A TREATISE ON THE VENEREAL DISEASE. By Jonn Hunter, F.R.S. With copious Additions, by Pu. Ricorp, M.D. Edited, with Notes, by Freeman J. BuMsSTEAD, M.D. In one handsome octavo volume, with plates. From, the Translator’s, Preface. *¢ M. Ricord’s annotations to Hunters Treatise on the Venereal Disease were first published at Paris, in 1840, in connection with Dr. G. Richelot’s, translation of the work, including, the contri- butions of Sir Everard Home and Mr. Babington. In asecond. edition, which has recently ap= peared, M. Ricord has thoroughly revised his part of the work, bringing it up to the knowledge of the present day, and so materially increasing it that it now constitutes full one-third of the volume. *¢ This publication has been received with great favor by the French, both because it has placed ' within their reach an, important work of Hunter, and also because it. is the only recent practical work which M. Ricord has published, no edition_of his Traité des Maladies Vénériennes having appeared for the last fifteen years.» In the notes to Hunter, the master substitutes him- Every one will recognize the attractiveness and value which this work derives from thus presenting the opinions of these two masters side by side. But, it must. be admitted, what has made the fortune of the book, is the fact that it contains the ‘most coms Hopital du Midi,” which has ever been made public. The doctrinal ideas of M. Ricord, ideas which, if not universally adopted, are incontestably dominant, have heretofore only been interpreted by more or lessskilful secretaries, sometimes accredited and sometimes not. self for his interpreters, and gives his original thoughts to the world, in a‘summary form it is true, but in a lucid and perfectly intelligible manner. In conelu- sion we can say that this is incontestably the best treatise on syphilis with which we are acquainted, and, as we do not often employ the phrase, we may be excused for expressing the hope that it may find, a place in the library.of every physician —Virginta Med. and Surg Journal. “octavo volume. peutical Summary and Special Formulary.; Tr One volume, octavo, 340. pages.
