Dr. Hammond deserves our hearty thanks for his translation—a boon which is as much for us as for his own countrymen.—Brit, and For. Med.-Chir. Review. A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children. By Dr. A. Vogel. Transl.ited and Edited by H. Raphael, M.D. From the fourth German Edition, illustrated by six lithographic plates, part coloured, large Svo, 60D pages, iSs. The merits of Dr. Vogel's work—which has been translated into three languages, and has attained its fourth edition in less than eight years—are of a high order ; the pathology especially is most complete, the deviations peculiar to infantile life being fully explained and an amount of knowledge and anatomical research displayed, which could only have been obtained by opportunities afforded for the accurate study of a large number of cases ; indeed the entire work bears evidence of intelligent ob- servation and original thought.—Dublin Journal of Medical Science, ]a.n. 1S72. Several excellent lithographic plates, and the admirable way in which the volume is got up, add to the attractiveness of Dr. Vogel's work. Dr. Vogel is more a physician than a surgeon ; and he is clearly a physician of no mean order, judged either from a pathological or a clinical stand- point. When he treats a subject exhaustively he produces an essay, clear yet elaborate, which inspires the reader with confidence that the author believed himself to have the best possible reasons for all that he says. Of Dr. Vogel, as a medical practitioner, we would only say that he seems to belong to the comparatively small class of physicians who, when they give a medicine, have a clear notion of the effects which they desire it to produce.—Brit. Med. Journal.
