By James Cortann, M.D. F.R.S., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, &e. 8vo. Vols. I. and II. 30s. each cloth. Parts I. to XIV. — Aspomen to SciRRHOUS AND OTHER Tumors. Parts I. to IV. 9s. each; Parts V. to XIV. 4s. 6d. each. *,.* To be completed in One more Volwne. The Prerace, with a Pathological Classification of Diseases, &c., forming a Key to the Systematic Study of Practical Medicine, as well as an arranged Table of the Contents of the Work, will accompany the last Part. An Inpex of the Individual Topies comprised under the various Chapters and Sections of each article will also be given ‘in the last Part. “In the parts now before us [XIIT. and XIV.] we find articles ex- tending, in alphabetical order from Poisons to Scirrhous Tumors; and when we say that they are of such a character as to justify the description of the work which we have just quoted from the title-page, we have awarded praise of no ordinary kind. Dr, Copland is indeed one of the most remarkable of living authors: he not only brings to bear upon his _ Subjects a vast — we had almost said an excessive — amount of erudition, but he illuminates and brings home all this learning to the mind of the reader, by the soundness with which he applies his personal experience. For one author, single-handed, to have undertaken this comprehensive ‘ Dictienary of Practical Medicine’ is not remarkable, for perhaps there are many who think they could do it as well as, or even better than, Dr. Copland; but no one who understands'the magnitude of the labour can col- late this work with others of a similar kind, without being astonished at ‘its general excellence, and its pervading superiority.” London Journal of Medicine. “ The publication of another part of this excellent work, after a com- paratively short interval, is a most favourable augury for its early completion. This Part, which is the fourth of the Third Volume, ex- tends from Porsons to Ranixs, and comprises numerous subjects of great practical interest. There are several circumstances connected with a work of this magnitude and extent which cannot fail to attract the notice ofareader. The first of these is, that any single. unassisted author Should be able to write so well upon subjects differing so widely from each other as those contained in this Cyclopedia; the second is, that the space assigned to each subject should be so fairly proportioned ; and the third, that the author should contrive to keep his object — namely, prac- tical medicine — constantly in view, so that no reader can justly complain that the work does not strictly correspond to its title. |The subscribers to this work will find that they have in this number another valuable addition to their libraries, and we hope before long to have occasion. to announce the publication of another part of this most useful Dictionary,” Medical Gazette, Lonpon: Lonaman, Brown, Green, and Lonemans,
