    Felriiaty, i88i. CATALOGUE OF WORKS PUBLISHED BY H. K. LEWIS, 136 GOWER STREET, LONDON, W.C. Mediuvi Mo, Morocco half bound, £1 11s. 6d. MARTIN’S ATLAS OF OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY EDITED BY A, MARTIN. Docent in the University of Berlin. TRANSLATED AND EDITED WITH ADDITIONS BY FANCOURT BARNES, M.D., M.R.C.P. Physician to the British Lying-in Hospital; Assistant Physician to the Royal Maternity Charity of London, &c. Such a book as that now under notice is indeed novel in its plan, and remarkably attractive and valuable in its achieved purpose If one should begin to enumerate all the features that yield masterly effects to the eye or lend interest to the mind, the spirit of commendation would continue throughout the whole work. So much is there in this splendid series of plates that excites our admiration, that mere words of praise seem tame. One must pass an hour or more in turning over the leaves, and even then only a modicum of its value reveals itself. We are glad that the work has been brought before the profes- sion of this country, since to practitioners as well as students it must prove of inestimable service. It fills a place not hitherto occupied, and meets a want that has often been ex- pressed, but never satisfied. The publisher deserves thanks for his part of the enterprise, and we earnestly trust that a liberal patronage will revvard him.”—Boston Medical Library Journal. “ This valuable and classic series of illustrations, first published by Professor Edward Martin in iS6i, has long had a great reputation in Germany as being of great service to practitioners as well as students of midwifery. It includes 98 pages of plates, with an average of 5 illustrations on each, many of which are coloured, and some drawn on a large scale, so as to occupy the whole page, where this has seemed desirable. The subjects treated range through the whole of midwifery and gynaicology, beginning with normal and abnormal pelves, and ending with illustrations of some of the most important obstetric gynjecologic instruments used in Germany and in this country The descriptive letter- press is very full and accurate, and the whole makes an extremely handsome volume, of portly yet not of cumbrous size. This atlas has nothing of its kind to compete with it in the English language, and will no doubt be warmly welcomed by obstetricians and gynte- cologists and students of the advanced class.”—British Medical Journal, July loth, i88o. “ The atlas is the most complete and comprehensive work of its kind Nearly every point, anatomical, physiological, obstetrical, and gynacological, is illustrated in the best way by well known authors, from whose works the late Dr. Martin culled his illustrations. As a work of reference to the practitioner, the atlas is invaluable; while to the student who wishes to refresh his memory in the readiest way, and in the shortest time, it will be very useful.”—London Medical Record, ]uly 15th, 1880.
