As with Erichsen so with Ashhurst, its position •in professional favor is established, and one has now but to notice the changes, if any, in theory and practice, that are apparent in the present ^s compared with the preceding edition, published tliree years ago. The worli has been brought well up to date, and is larger and better illustrated than ■before, and its author may rest assured that it will ■certainly have a continuance of the favor with ■which it has heretofore been received.—The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Jan. 1886. Every advance m surgery worth notice, chroni- cled in recent literature, has been suitably recog- nized and noted in its proper place. Suffice it to say, we regard Ashhurst's Surgery, as now pre- sented in the fourth edition, as the best single volume on surgery published in the English lan- guage, valuable alike to the student and the prac- titioner, to the one as a text-book, to the other as a manual of practical surgery. With pleasure we give this volume our endorsement in iM.—New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal, .Jan., 1886. GMOSS, S. D., M. JD., ZL. JD., D. C. L. Oxon., LJL. I).

A considerable amount of new material has been introduced, and altogether the distin- guished aattior has reason to be satisfied that he has placed the work fully abreast of the state of our knowledge.—Med. Record, Nov. 18,18S2. he appreciated the work done by men in other countries, and how much he contributed to pro- mote the science and practice of surgery in his own.

This book will be found to be a most useful guide for the hard-worked practitioner. Mr. ■Gould's style is eminently clear and precise, and we can cordially recommend the manual as beini^ the outcome of the efforts of an honest and thor- •oughly practical surgeon.— The Medical News, Jan. 24, 1885. This is a capital little book, written by a prac- tical man on a very practical subject. The topics are very systematically and succinctly arranged, are tersely presented, and the points of diagnosis very intelligently discussed.
