![6IE OSS (SAMUEL D.), M.D., Professor of Surgery in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. A SYSTEM OF SURGERY: Pathological, Diagnostic, Therapeutic, and Operative. Illustrated by upwards of Fourteen Hundred Engravings Filth edition, carefully revised, and improved. In two large and beautifully printed imperial octavo vol- umes of about 2300 pages, strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, $15. {Just l$twd.) The continued favor, shown by the exhaustion of successive large editions of this great work, proves that it has successfully supplied a want felt by American practitioners and students. In the present revision no pains have been spared by the author to bring it in every respect fully up to the day. To effect this a large part of the work has been rewritten, and the whole enlarged by nearly one-fourth, notwithstanding which the price has been kept at its former \ ery moderate rate. By the use of a close, though very legible type, an unusually large amount ot matter is condensed in its pages, the two volumes containing as much as four or five ordinary octavos. This, combined with the most careful mechanical execution, and its very durable binding, renders it one of the cheapest works accessible to the profession. Every subject properly belonging to the domain of surgery is treated in detail, so that the student who possesses this work may be aaid to have in it a surgical library. A few notices of the previous edition are subjoined :— It muot long remain the inost comprehensive work oa this Important part of medicine.—Boston Medical and 8v rgical Journal, March 23, lStio. We have compared it with most of oar standard works, roch as those of Erichsen, Miller, Ferguson, Sviiie, and others, and we mast, ia justice to our i'uihor, award it the pre-eminence. A-> a work, com- plete in almost every detail, no matter how minute or trifling, aud embracing every subject known in the principles and practice of surgery, we believe it standB without a rival. Dr Gross, in his preface, re- marks my aim has been to embrace the whole do- main of Burgery, and to allot to every subject its Legitimate Claim to notice; and, we assure our reader-, he hats kept hits word. It is a work which we can most confidently recommend to our brethren, for its utility ia becoming the more evideut the longer It if. apon the shelves of our library.—Canada Med, /on rnal, September, 1865. The first two editions of Professor Grose' System of Surgery are so well known to the profession, and so highly prized, that it would be idle for us to speak iii praise of this work.— Chicago Medical Journal, September, 1S65. We gladly indorse the favorable recommendatiou Of the work, both as regards matter and style, winch ire made when noticing its flrsi appearance.—British and Foreign Medico-OhirurgicaL Review, Qot. 1866. The mott complete work that has yet Issued Horn the press on the science and practice of surgery.— London Lancet. This system of surgery Is, we predict, destined to take a commanding position in our surgical litera- ture, and be ihe crowning glory of ihe author's well earur-d fame. As an authority on general surgical subjects, ibic work is long to ocenpj a pre-eminent place, not only at home, but abroad We have no »y THE SAME AUTHOR. hesitation in pronouncing it without a rival in our language, aud eo,ual to the best systems of surgery in iny language.—A. Y. Med. Journal. Not only by far the best text-book on the subject, as a whole, within the reach of American students, but one which will be much more than ever likely to be resorted to and regarded as a high authority abroad.—Am. Journal Med, Sciences, Jan. 1866, The work contains everything, minor and major, operative and diagnostic, including mensuration and eZS iniualion, venereal diseases, aud uterine manipu- lations and operations. It is a complete Thesaurus of modern surgery, where the student and practi- tioner shall not peek in vain for whai they dosire.— San Francisco Med. Press, Jau. 1866. Open it where we may, we tiud sound practical In* formation conveyed in plain language, This book ia uo mere provincial or even national system of sur- gery, but a work which, while very Largely indebted to the past, has a strong claim on the gratii ude of the future of surgical science.—Edinburgh Med. Journal, Jan. ISO'S. A glance at the work U sufficient to show that the author and publisher have spared no labor in making it the most complete System of Surgery ever pub- lished in any country.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal^ April, 1866. A system of surgery which we think unrivalled in our language, and which will indelibly associate his name with surgical science. Aud what, in our opin- ion, euhauces the value of the word is that, while the practising surgeon will find all that he requires in it, it is at the same time one of the most valuable trea- tises which can be put into the hands of the student seeking to know the principles and practice of this branch of the profession which he designs subse- quently to follow.—The Brit.
