Thus is placed before the profes- Sion a complete and thorough exponent of medical terminology without rival or possibility of rivalry —Vasnvtllt Joum. of Med. and Surg., Jan. 1858. ' It is universally acknowledged, we believe that this work is incomparably the best and most com- plete Medical Lexicon in the English language The amount of labor which the distinguished luthor has bestowed upon it is truly wonderful, and the learning and research displayed in its preparation are equally remarkable. Comment and commenda- tion are unnecessary, as no one al the present day thinks of purchasing any other Medical Dictionary than th.s.-s*. Lents Med. and Surg. Joum., Jan. It is the foundation stone of a good medical libra- ry, and should always be included in the first lis; books purchased by the medical student.—Am. Mi Monthly, Jan. 1858.

It is Scarcely necessary to remark that any medi- cal librarj wanting a copy of Dunglison's Lexicon must be imperfect—Ct*. l.ana. Jan. 1858. We have ever considered it the best authority pub- lished, and the present edition we may safely say has no equal m the world.—Peninsular Med.

'.•- This work, the appearance of the fifteenth edition 'I wliich.it has become our duty and pleasure to announce, is perhaps the most stupendous monument Of labor and erudition in medical literature. One would hardly suppose after constant use of the pre- ceding editions, where we have never failed to find a sufficiently mil explanation of even medical term. mat in this edition u about six thousand and terms have been added with a careful revision and correction of the entire work. It is only nec( s- sary to announce the advent of this edition to make »t occupy the place of the preceding one on the table 01 every medical man. as it is wil lion t do„bt the best and most comprehensive work of the kind which has ever appeared.—Buffalo Med.

Medieo-Chir. Review, Jan. 1858. A Medical Dictionary better adapted for the wants i the profession than any other with which we are acquainted, and of a character which places it far above comparison and competition Am. Joum M*d. Betemees, Jan. 1858. We need only say, that the addition of 8,000 new U rms, with their accompanying definitions, raai be said to constitute ;1 new work, by itself, We have examined the Dictionary attentively, and are most nappy to pronounce it unrivalled of its kind The erudition displays I. and the extraordinary industry which must i,ave been demanded, in its preparation and perfection, redound to the lasting credit of us author, and have furnished ns with a volume indis- pensabh at the present day. to all who would find tnemee ves au niveau with the highest standards o* medica information.—Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, Dec. 3^ i-.-,7.
