GROSS, M.D., Professor of Surgery in the Louisville Medical Institute. Author of Elements of Pathological Anatomy, etc., etc. Fourth American, from the last London Edition, with upwards of one hundred and sixty illustrative Engravings. 1 vol. 8vo. sheep. “We must not forget to mention that the volume is rendered still more attractive by the addition of humerous wood engravings (some of them introduced by Dr. Gross), all finely executed. ‘These will be found of very considerable advantage to the student, materially assisting him in compre- hending the explanation of morbid structure. Another admirable feature, is the printing of the notes in type of the same size as that of the text. This obviates almost entirely whatever objections can be alleged against foot-notes.”— Western Jour. of Med. and Surg. , “ ‘We are here presented with a republication of Mr. Liston’s admirable and much praised work on Surgery, which has been subject to the alembic of a critical and learned friend, Dr. Gross. He has added ‘copious notes and additions,’ such as the progress of surgery in the United States de- mands in order to meet the wants of the surgeon; and has bestowed unwearied pains to adapt it to the present condition of things, It is modern in everyrespect, since it contains the latest 1mprove- ments, and the very last discoveries, in the domain of operative surgery, both here and in Europe, The execution of the book is good; the paper firm, and well secured 1n the binding. The plates are uniformly well executed, and the impressions distinct.””—Boston Med. and Surg. Jour. “In another essential feature this edition isgreatly improved: With the principles is taught also With it the practice of surgery ; and both morbid structure and operations are doubly described; first by the author and editor, and next by the graver of the artist.”.—Bull. Med. Scien. ; “Mr. Liston’s reputation as a clear, accurate, and scientific surgical writer, is so widely known and admitted, that formal panegyric is quite unnecessary. Dr. Gross has diseharged his duties as editor, with all the sound sense, accurate discrimination, and experienced judgment, which all who kaew him expected. The additions and notes are indeed profitabfe and interesting ; and our only regret is. ‘that they are not still more numerous than they are. The volume is inscribed to Protes- sor Parker, of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in this city,—the beauty of its typography, and * getting up,’ will be readily taken for granted by all who know the publishers—and the illus- trative engravings are executed in a style very creditable to American art.”—N. Y. Lancet. “Mr. Liston has seen much, thinks accurately, and speaks independently. From a volume written by such a man, morc really valuable practical instruction is to be derived than from all the books that were ever compiled.” —Western and Southern Med. Recorder. “It embraces all the principles of surgery, which the work on the operations does not.”—S, Journ. of Med. and Pharm. “ Few living auihors are better qualified for exnounding the principles of suneical science, and the evidence ofthese attainments are abundant inthe work before us.”—Philad. hxaminer. —_— _ “ The additions to this work by Dr. Gross are numerous and interesting, and inerease its use- fulness and completeness. ; ‘This is a work of established reputation, It has gone through two editions in Great Bri- tain, and the same number in thiscountry. The additions of the American edition are copious, and add materially to the value of the work.”—Amer. Jour. Med. Sciences. f “The author is bold and original in his conceptions, accurate in deductions, plain and con- cise in style ; a combination of good qualities not often found united in a single volume. The notes and additions by Prof. Gross, are well arranged and judicious, supplying some evident deficiencies in the original work, It is no mean praise, that this treatise has so readily found its way into the hands of the profession.”—Western Lancet.
