    JJODGE {HUGH L.), M.D., Late Professor of Midwifery, &o. in the University of Pennsylvanio,, &c. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETPJCS. Illus- trated with large lithographic jjlates-containing one hundred and fifty-nine figures from original photographs, and with numerous wood-cuts. In one large and beautifully printed quarto volume of 560 double-columned pages, strongly bound in extra cloth, $14. (Late- ly publislied.) From the Author's Preface. lufluenced by these motives, the author has, in this volume, endeavored to present not simply his own opinions, but also those of the most distinguished authorities in the profession; so that it may be considered a digest of the theory and practice of Obstetrics at the present period. In carrying out this design, the ample space afforded by the quarto form has enabled the author to enter thoroughly into all details, and in combining the results of his long experience and study with the teachings of other distinguished authors, he cannot fail to afford to the practitioner what- ever counsel and assistance may be required in doubtful cases and emergencies. A distinguishing feature of the work is the jirofuseness of its illustrations. The lithographic plates are all original, and, to insure their accuracy, they have been copied from photographs taken expressly for the purpose. Besides these, a very full series of engravings on wood v/iJl be found scattered through the text, so that all the details given by the author are amply elucidated by the illustrations. It may be added that no pains or expense have been spared to render the mechanical execution of the work in every respect worthy of the character and value of the teachings it contains. *:5J,* Specimens of the plates and letterpiress will be forwarded to any address free by mail on receipt of six cents in postage stamps. The work of Dr. Hodge is something more than a ] We have examined Professor Hodge's work with simple presentation of hi.s particular views in the de- great satisfaction ; every topic is elaborated most partmeat of Obstetrics; it is something more than an t'ully. The views of the author are comprehensive, ordinary treatise on midwifery; it is, in fact, a cyclo- | and concisely stated. The rules of practice are jildi- piBdia of midwifery. He has aimed to embody in a cious, and will enable the practitioner to meet every single volume the whole science and art of Obstetrics, emergency of obstetric complication with confidence. 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. Vi^e should like to analyze the remainder of this excellent work, but already lias 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 afi'orded by our American cousins, quite equal to the best of English books. The engravings and lithographs are most -Chicago Med. Journal, Aug. ISG-f. 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 mos't original, complete, and carefully composed treatise on the principles and practice of Obstetrics which has ever been issued from the American press.—Pacifie Med. and Surg. Journal, July, 1S64. 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 beautifully executed. The work recommends itself instructive, and in the main, we believe, correct.
