MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE. Third American, from the fourth and improved English Edition. With Notes and References to American Decisions, by Edward Hartshorne, M. D. In one large octavo volume, of about seven hundred pages. (Now Ready.) In the preparation of the English edition, from which this has been printed, the author has found it necessary to revise the whole of the chapters, as well as to make numerous alterations and addi- tions, together with references to many recent cases of importance. A Glossary has also been added for the convenience of those whose studies have not been directed specially to this subject. The notes of the American editor embrace the additions formerly made by Dr. Griffith; who revised the work on its first appearance in this country, together with such new matter as his experience and the progress of the science have shown to be advisable. The work may therefore be regarded as fully on a level with the most recent discoveries, and worthy of the reputation which it has ac- quired as a complete and compendious guide for the physician and lawyer. So well is this work known to the members bo'h of the medical and legal professions, and so highly is it appreciated by them, that it cannot be necessary for us to say a word in its commendation ; its having already reached a fourth edition being the best pos- sible testimony in its favor. The author has ob- viously subjected the entire work to a very careful revision.
