The accession of The British and Foreign Medical Rc^^ew to our list, it seems imperative on me to notice. The mde cu'culation of its first Numbers is a guarantee of the high estima- tion in which it is held ; and every reader of this work must have felt satisfied of its being con- ducted with a strict reference to those gentlemanly and elevated feelings which should ever characterise a scientific journal: discarding the froth and scum of ephemeral publications, it collects and intermixes the ingenious speculations of the day with tlie most solid practical materials, and exhibits a degree of erudition hitherto unknown among us.—Retrospective Address, delivered at the Manchester Meeting of the Provincial Association, 3n\y 2\, 1836, by J. G. Crosse, Esq. F.R.S We have now, for the first time, a Medical Review from the British press, deserving of comparison with the most celebrated of the Journals devoted to literature and general science. The articles do not consist simply of an analysis of the work subject to examination ; but of a critical digest of all the information therein contained, and of all that can be gathered from oiher sources unnoticed by the author. The most profound research, extensive experience, and critical acumen, arc brought to bear upon the subjects discussed ; and the consequence is, a more satisfactory epitome of the state of medical science at the present time than we have met with in any other work which has come under our observation. The execution of the mechanical part is fully equal to the literary ; and we have no hesitation in pronouncing The British AND Foreign Medical Review the first medical periodical in the world.—The American Medical Library and Intellipoicer, No. viii. .luly 15, 1837. We not only welcome this new Journal, but warmly recommend it to our renders as a rich repertory of facts and opinions on medical subjects.—The Western (American) Journal of the Medical and Physical Sciences, September, 1836. The British and Foreign Medical Review is certainly the ablest periodical now published in England.—Journal of the Calcutta Medical and Physical Society, December, 1837. (C^* THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN MEDICAL REVIEW is pub- lished Quarterly, price Six Shillings, by JOHN CHURCHILL, Trincks Street, Soiio ; of whom may be had, the first Eight Volumes, elegantly done up in Cloth Boards, with Gold Letters, at the same Price as the single Numbers. No. XVII. will be publislied on the 1st of January, 1840. London: Ibotson and Palmer, Printers, Savoy Street, Strand.
