The present edition (which,like the work on Human Physiology in our language.— ast American one, was prepared by the author him- i Southern Med. and Surg.

We need hardly say, in concluding thisbrief notice, that while \ the work is indispensable to every student of medi- ] cine in this country, it will amply repay the practi- ! turner for its perusal by the interest and value of its c intents.—Bostan Med. and Surg.

In publishing the first edition of this work, its title was altered from that of the London volumei by the substitution of the word Elements for that of Manual, and with the author's sanction the title of Elements is still retained as being more expressive of the scope of the treatise. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. PRINCIPLES OF COMPARATIVE PHYSIOLOGY. New American, from the Fourth and Revised London edition. In one large and handsome octavo volume, with over three hundred beautiful illustrations, pp. 752. Extra cloth, $5 00 This book should not only be read but thoroughly studied by every member of the profession. None are too wise or old, to be benefited thereby. But ^specially to the younger class would we cordially cofnmend it as best fitted of any work in the English language to qualify them for the reception and coin- prehension of those truths which are daily being de- veloped in physiology.—Medical Counsellor. Without pretending to it, it is an encyclopedia of the subject, accnrate and complete in all respects— a truthful reflection of the advanced state at which che science has now arrived Dublin Quarterly Journal 0/ Medical Science. A truly magnificent work—in itself a perfect phy- siological study.—Banking's Abstract. This work stands without its fellow. It is one f ;w men in Europe could have undertaken; it is one no man, we believe, could have brought to go suc- cessful an issue as Dr. Carpenter. It required for its production a physiologist at once deeply read in the labors of others capable of taking a general, critical, and unprejudiced view of those labors, and of combining the varied, heterogeneoub materials at his disposal, so as to form an harmonious whole. We feel that this abstractcan give the reader a very imperfect idea of the fulness of this work, and no idea of its unity, of the admirable ma? ner in which material has been brought, from the most various sources, to conduce to its completeness, of the lucid- ity of the reasoning it contains, or of the clearness of language in which the whole is clothed. Not the profession only, but the scientific world at large, must feel deeply indebted to Dr. Carpenter for this great work. It must, indeed, add I irgely even to his high reputation.—Medical Timts . by the same author. (Preparing.) PRINCIPLES OF GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY, INCLUDING ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND HISTOLOGY.
