    •lAXUAUY 1895 H Bew IDepaitiue The ]’URP0SE of this Journal is to supply an illustrated record of Medicine and Surgery in such a inanner that the practical bearing of new discoveries and interesting cases may be imparted in as brief and plain a manner as will be consistent with usefulness to the practitioner. One feature of ‘Clinical Sketches’ will be the Illustr.\tions, in tlie preparation of which every endeavour will be made to represent the subjects plainly and ])ractically. As regards the letter])ress the following objects will be aimed at:— (1) The selection of subjects of real practical interest to the General Practitioner and the practising Physician and Surgeon. (2) Brevity and simplicity of description. (3) Association, as close as possible, of the text with the illustrations. (4) Plainness of type, so that the Journal can be read with facility. It is intended to discuss or record many subjects which, although not usually included in Medical Literature, may be specially interesting to medical men. The contents will chiefly consist of original Clinical Lectures or Papers, Short Notes of Cases, Abstracts and Eesumes of Current Medical Literature, Clinical Notes and Descriptions of New Apparatus. Eeviews of New Books and New Editions will be given, and they will be rather analytical than critical. There will be a department for tlie practitioner in the country, dealing with veterinary subjects and other allied matters in which he may be interested. It is further proposed to give notes and descriptions of health and holiday resorts. The conduct of the Journal will be entirely in the hands of members of the Medical Profession who have had considerable expeilence in literary matters as well as in the production of medical illustrations. It is hoped that the practical character of this publication will ensure its success, and that its pages will be read even by those who have not much time to devote to literary matters.
