$W VDGE [HUGH L.), M.D., Emeritus Professor of Midwifery, &c. in the University of Pennsylvania, &c. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OP OBSTETRICS. Illus- trated with large lithographic plates containing one hundred and fifty-nine figures from original photographs, and with numerous wood-cuts. In one large and beautifully printed quarto volume of 550 double-columned pages, strongly bound in extra cloth, $14. {Lately published.) The work of Dr. Hodge is something more than a We have examined Professor Hodge's work with simple presentation of his particular views in the de- partment of Obstetrics ; it is sometliing more than an ordinary treatise on midwifery; it is, in fact, a cyclo- paedia of midwifery. He lias aimed to embody in a single volume the whole science and art of Obstetrics. An elaborate text is combined with accurate and va- ried pictorial illustrations, so that no fact or principle is left unstated or unexplained.—Am. Med. Times, Sept. .3, 1S64. We should like to analyze the remainder of this excellent work, but already has this review extended beyond our limited space. We cannot conclude this notice without referring to the excellent finish of the work. In typography it is not to be excelled; the paper is superior to what is usually afforded by our American cousins, quite equal to the best of English books. The engravings and lithographs are most beautifully executed. The work recommends itself for its originality, and is in every way a most valu- able addition to those on the subject of obstetrics.— Canada Med. Journal, Oct. 1864. It is very large, profusely and elegantly illustrated, and is fitted to take its place near the works of great obstetricians. Of the American works on the subject it is decidedly the best.—Edinb. Med. Jour., Dec. '64. ^*^ Specimens of the plates and letter-press will be forwarded to any address, free by mail on receipt of six cents in postage stamps. great satisfaction; every topic is elaborated most fully. The views of the author are comprehensive, and concisely stated. The rules of practice are judi- cious, and will enable the practitioner to meet every emergency of obstetric complication with confidence. —Chicago Med. Journal, Aug. 1864. More time than we have had at our disposal since we received the great work of Dr. Hodge is necessary to do it justice. It is undoubtedly by far the most original, complete, and carefully composed treatise on the principles and practice of Obstetrics which has ever been issued from the American press.—Pacific Med. and Surg. Journal, July, 1864. We have read Dr. Hodge's book with great plea- sure, and have much satisfaction in expressing our commendation of it as a whole. It is certainly highly instructive, and in the main, we believe, correct. The great attention which the autlior has devoted to the mechanism of parturition, taken along with the con- clusions at which he. has arrived, point, we think, conclusively to the fact that, in Britain at least, the doctrines of Naegele have been too blindly received. —Glasgow Med.

In one handsome octavo volume pf about 500 pages, extra cloth, $4 25. {Jitst Issued.) The very thorough revision the work has undergone has added greatly to its practical value, and increased materially its efficiency as a guide to the student and to the young pi-actitloner.—Ara. Joxirn. Med. Sci., April, 1868. With the immense variety of subjects treated of and the ground which they are made to cover, the im- possibility of giving an extended review of this truly remarkable work must be apparent. We have not a single fault to find with it, and most heartily com- mend it to the careful study of every physician who would not only always be sure of his diagno.sis of pregnancy, but always i-eady to treat all the nume- rous ailments that are, unfortunately for the civilized women of to-day, so commonly associated with the function.—TV. ¥. Med. Record, March 16, 1868. We have much pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the volume produced by Dr. Tanner, the second edition of a work that was, in its original state even, acceptable to the profession. We recom- mend obstetrical students, young and old, to have this volume in their collections. It contains not only a fair statement of the signs, symptoms, and diseases of pregnancy, but comprises in addition much inter- esting relative matter that is not to be found in any other work that we can name.—Edinburgh Med. Journal, Jan. 1868. In its treatment of the signs and diseases of preg- nancy it is the most complete book we know of, abounding on every page with matter valuable to the general practitioner.—Cincinnati Med. Repertory, March, 1S68. This is a most excellent work, and should be on the table or in the library of every practitioner.—H%iin- boldt Med. Archives, Feb. 1868. A valuable compendium, enriched by his own la- bors, of all that is known on the signs and diseases of pregnancy.—St. Louis Med. Reporter, Feb. 15, 1868. JirONTGOMERY {W.
