    merits of Dr. Johnson's Journal as to render almost unnecessary any additional testimony in favour of the spirit and ability with which it is conducted. Devoted as this Journal is to the analysis of works to which a great proportion of the Medical Profession in this country are necessarily denied access, I have always looked upon its republication here, as a sub- stantial service rendered to the cause of Medical Literature in the United States; and I can- not therefore but wish the enterprising publisher every success in his endeavours to give it an extended circulation. JOHN B. BECK, M. D. Prof of Mat. Med. 77te follmcin^ Gentlemen have expressed their conrAvrrence with the foregoing; J. AUG. SMITH, M. D. Prof of Anat. and Surg., J. D. JAQUES, M. D., Treas. and Trustee of Coll. of Phys. and Surg., JAS. FREEMAN DANA, Prof of Chemistry; J. R, RHINELANDER, M. D., Dem. of Anat.; N. H. DERING, Regist. I state with great readiness, the high opinion I entertain of Johnson's Medico-Chirurgi- cal Review. Among foreign periodicals none can be more useful to the American practi- tioner both for enlightened views and extensive information. T. ROMEYN BECK, (Albany.) Sir,—I consider Dr. Johnson's Medico-Chirurgical Review one of the best periodica. Journals of Great Britain, and beUeve that your republication of it will prove a valuable ac- cession to the Medical Literature of this country. You have my best wishes for its success. DAVID HOSACK, M. D., Pres. of Med. Fac. of Rutger's Coll. We fully concur in the opinion expressed by Dr. Hosack, of the value of Johnson's Jour- nal. SAML. L. MITCHELL, M.

This work I have taken from its commencement in 1820, and from a comparison of it with other periodical publications, I have no hesitation in ex- pressing my belief, that it is the best Medical Journal now published in Europe. It is not like many works of the kind, a mere temporary journal, a repository only of the most recent intelligence, but it conveys to the Profession an inestimable treasure, a full analytical view of Medical literature, serving as a book of study for the present time, and a most valuable record for future reference. It cannot be too strongly recommended, and particularly to those who, fi'om extensive professional avocations, or removal from good libraries, have no means of consulting the original works which daily issue from the press. Truly and respectfully yours, THOMAS SEWELL, (Washington, D. C.) ]My Dear Sir,—In compliance with your request of my opinion of the Medico-Chirurgical Review, I make no hesitation in saying, that in the style and arrangement of its matter, the number and variety of subjects discussed ; the impartiality and strictness of its critiques, it is superior to any other British journal with which I am acquainted, and not inferior to any journal, European or American. The impartiality it has evinced towards American authors is an additional claim to the regard of the American Physician. I do therefore hope, most sincerely, that the Medico-Chirur.rrical Review will meet with a most liberal patronage, and that it will occupy a place in the library of every physician. Very respectfully yours, W. WILLOUGHBY, (Newport, N. Y.) The London Medico-Chirurgical Review, conducted by Dr. Johnson and others, is one of the best periodical works on Medical Science. Its republication in this country must be considered very useful to the medical profession. JOHN C. WARREN, (Prof of Anat. and Surg., Boston.) Sir,^—I have been a reader of the Medico-Chirurgical Review from its first publication, and have found it at all times to contain a general view of the current mecfical literature of the day. This makes its pages very valuable, and enables the medical practitioner to judge what works he need to'posscss himself of I hope that its republication in this country wL'l be sufficiently encouraged. I am. Sir, your obedient servant^ JAMES JACKSON, (Boston.) * Svbscribcrs in orderinir this irnrtt-, are requested to trrile tlicir tiames leffibly, and at full lengthy adding Ihc names of the tnirti, couvtij, S^'c. of tlie.ir residence. , One dollar allowed to amj Subscriber for procuring a nao Subscriber artd remitting patpncnt for the same.
