    fJARTSHORNE (HENRY), M.D., ■^J- Profe-s.ior of Hygiene in the University of Pennsylvania. ESSENTIALS OP THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OP MEDI- CINE. A handy-book for Students and Practitioners. Third edition, revised and im- proved. In one handsome royal ]2mo. volume of 487 pages, clearly printed on small type, cloth, .|2 38; half bound, $2 63. (Now Ready.) The very remarkable favor which has been bestowed upon this work, as manifested in the ex- haustion of two large editions within four years, shows that it has successfully supplied a want felt by both student and practitioner of a volume which at a moderate price and in a convenient size should afford a clear and compact view of the most modern teachings in medical practice. In preparing the work for a third edition, the author has sought to maintain its character by very numerous additions, bringing it fully up to the science of the day, but so concisely framed that the size of the volume is increased only by thirty or forty pages. The extent of the new informa- tion thus introduced may be estimated by the fact that there have been two hundred and sixty separate additions made to the text, containing references to one hundred and eighty new authors. This little epitome of medical knowledge has al- [ mulas are appended, intended as examples merely, ready been noticed by us. It is a vade mecum of' not as guides, for unthinking practitioners. A com- value, including in a short space most of what is es- | plete index facilitates the use of this little volume, in sential in the science and practice of medicine. The | which all important remedies lately introduced, such third edition is well up to the present day in the modern methods of treatment, audin the use of newly discovered drugs.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, Oct. 19, 1S71. Certainly very few volumes contain, so much pre- cise information within so small a compass.—N. Y. Med. Journal, Nov. 1871. The diseases are conveniently classified; symptoms, causation, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment are carefully considered, the whole being marked by briefness, but clearness of expression. Over 250 for- I as chloral hydrate and carbolic acid, have received their full share of attention.—Am. Journ. of Pharm., Nov. 1871. It is an epitome of the whole science and practice of medicine, and will be found most valutible to the practitioner for easy reference, and especially to the student in attendance upon lectures, whose time is too much occupied with many studies, to consult the larger works. Such a work must always be in great demand.—Cincinnati Med. Repertory, Nov. 1S71. 117^4T>S'(9iSr [THOMAS), M. D., Sfc. LECTURES ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OP PHYSIC. Delivered at King's College, London. A new American, froui the Fifth re- vised and enlarged English edition. Edited, with additions, and several hundred illus- trations, by Henry Hartshorne, M.D., Professor of Hygiene in the University of Penn- sylvania. In two large and handsome Bvo. vols. Cloth, S9 00 ; leather, $11 00. {Justready.) With the assistance of Professor George Johnson, his successor in the chair of Practice of Medi- cine in King's College, the author has thoroughly revised this work, and has sought to bring it on a level with the most advanced condition of the subject. As he himself remarks : Consider- ing the rapid advance of medical science during the last fourteen years, the present edition would be worthless, if it did not differ much from the last—but in the extensive alterations and addi- tions that have been introduced, the effort of the author has been, to retain the lucid and collo- quial style of the lecture-room, which has made the work so deservedly popular with all classes of the profession. Notwithstanding these changes, there are some subjects on which the American reader might reasonably expect more detailed information than has been thought requisite in England, and these deficiencies the editor has endeavored to supply. The large size to which the work has grown seems to render it necessary to print it in two vol- umes, in place of one, as in the last American edition. It is therefore presented in that shape, handsomely printed, at a very reasonable price, and it is hoped that it will fully maintain the position everywhere hitherto accorded to it, of the standard and classical representative of Eng- lish practical medicine. At length, after many months of expectation, we have the satisfaction of finding ourselves this week in possession of a revised and enlarged edition of Sir Thomas Watson's celebrated Lectures. It is a sub- ject for congratulation and for thankfulness that Sir Thomas Watson, during a period of comparative lei- sure, after a long, laborious, and most honorable pro- fessional career, while retaining full possession of his high mental faculties, should have employed the op- portunity to submit his Lectures to a more thorough revision than was possible during the earlier and busier period of his l,ife. Carefully passing in review some of the most intricate and important pathological and practical questions, the results of his clear insight and his calm judgment are now recorded for the bene- fit of mankind, in language which, for precision, vigor, and classical elegance, has rarely been equalled, and never surpassed The revision has evidently been m jst carefully done, and the results appear in almost e .ery page.—Brit. Med. Journ., Oct. 14, 1871. No words can convey the pleasurable satisfaction that we feel in looking over the revised edition of the admirable lectures of this distinguished author. The earnestness which marked hi.s whole profes- sional career leads him, in a characteristic manner, to devote his last leistire hours to the correction of his 21'eat classic work. The lectures are so well known and so justly appreciated, that it is scarcely neces- ^.iiy to do more than call attention to the special advaotages of the last over previous editions. In the revision, the author has displayed all the charms and advantages of great culture and a ripe experi- eiice combined with the soundest judgment and sin- cerity of purpose. The author's rare combination of great scientific attainments combined with won- derful forensic eloquence has exerted extraordinary influence over the last two generations of physicians. His clinical descriptions of most diseases have never been equalled ; and on this score at least his work will live long in the future. The work will be sought by all who appreciate a great book.—Amer. Journal of Syphilography, July, 1872., We are exceedingly gratified at the reception of this new edition of Watson, pre-eminently the prince of English authors, on Practice. We, who read the first edition as it came to us tardily and in frag- ments through the Medical News and Library, shall never forget the great pleasure and profit we derived from its graphic delineations of disease, its vigorous style and splendid English. Maturity of years, extensive observation, profound research, and yet continuous enthusiasm, have combined to give us in this latest edition a model of professional excellence in teaching with rare beauty in the mode of communication. But this classic needs no eulo- gium of ours. The selection of Prof. Hartshorne as the American editor,'is to us peculiarly gratifying, and must insure even larger popularity and more general sale to American readers. Every guarantee is thus afforded that in every part the book will be found up to the times. Will it do to repeat the re- mark we have seen somewhere : No library caa be considered complete without it?' Although the phrase may not savor of originality, it is, neverthe- less, most emphatically true.—Chicago Med. Journ., July, 1872.
