In the parts now before us [XI11-. and XIV.] we find articles extending, in alphabetical order, from Poisons to Scirrhous Tumors; and when we say that they are of such a character as to justify the description of the work which we have Just quvitod from the title-page, we have awarded praise of no ordinary kind. Dr. Copland is indeed one of the most remarkable of living authors : he not only brings to bear upon his subjects a vast—we had almost said an excessive—amount of erudition, but he illuminates and brings home all this learning to the mind of the reader, by the soundness with which he applies his personal experience. For one author, single-handed, to have undertaken this comprehensive ' Dictionary of Practical Medi- cine' is not remarkable, for perhaps there are many who think they could do it as well as, or even better than, Dr. Copland ; but no one who understands the magnitude of the labour can collate this work with others or' a similar kind, without being astonished at its general excel- lence, and its pervading superiority. London Journal of Medicine. The publication of another part of this excellent work, affer a comparatively short interval, is a most favourable augury for its early completion. This Part, which is the fourth of the Third Volume, extends from Poisons to Rabies, and comprises numerous subjects of great practical interest. There are several circumstances connected with a work of this magnitude and extent which cannot fail to attract the notice of a reader. The first of these is, that any single u assisted author should be able to write so well upon subjects differing so widely from Ci-.cli other as those contained in this Cyclopa:dia; the second is, that the space assigned to each subject should be so fairly proportioned; and the third, that the author should contrive to keep his object—namely, practical medicine—constantly in view, so that no reader can justly complain that the work does not strictly correspond to its title. The subscribers to r is work will find that they have in this number another valuable addition to their libraries, and we hope before long to have occasion to annomirc the publication of another ptirt of this most useful Dictionary.
