In calling the attention of the profession to the new edition of this standard work, the publishers would remark that no edbrts have been spared to .secure for it a eontinuance and extension of the remarkable favor with which it has been received. The last London issue, which was considera- blv enlarged, has received a further revision from the author, especially for this country. Its pas- ;<a-e through the press here 1ms been supervised by Dr. Keating, who has made numerous addi- tions with a view of presenting more (ully whatever was necessary to adajit it thoroughly to American modes of practice. In its mechanical execution, n like superiority over former editions will be found. From Prof. Hodge, of the University of Pa. To the Ainerioiin public, it is most valuable, from its intrinsic undoubted excellence, and as being the best aiiliioiized exponent of British Midwifery. Its circulation will, I trust, be extensive throughout our country. The publishers liiive shown their .Tpprcciation of 1 cine and Surgery to our lihrury, and confidently the merits of this work and secured its success liy the truly elc<j;ant style in which tliey have brought it out, excelling themselves in its production, espe- cially in its plates. It is dedicated to Prof. Meigs, and lias the empliatic endorsement of I'mf. Hodge, as the best exponent of British Midwifery. \\'e, know of no text-book which deserves in all respects to be. more liiglily recommended to students, and we could wish to see it in the hands of every practitioner, !or lliey will find it invaluable for reference.—Med. Gazette, But once in a long time some brilliant genius rears his head above the horizon of science, and illumi- nates and purifies every department that he investi- gates ; and his works become types, by which innu- merable iniitatfU's model their feeble productions. Such ji genius ^ve find in the younger Ramshotham, and such a type we find in the work now before us. The binding, paper, type, the engravings and wood econimentl it to our readers, with the assurance that ii will not disappoint their most sanguine ex- pectations— Western Lancet. It is unnecessary to say anything in regard to the utility of this work. It is already appreciated in our country for the value of the lualter, the clearness of its style, and the fulness of its illustrations. To tlie pliy.sieian's library it is indispeiisalde, while to the student as a text-book, from which to extract the material for laying the foundation of an eihication on obstetrical science, it has no superior.—Ohio Med. and Surg. Journal. We will (mly add that the student viill learn from it all he need to know, and the practitioner will find it, as a hook of reference, surpassed by none other.— Stethoscojie. The character and merits of Dr. Ramsbotham's work are so well known and thoroughly established, cuts are all so excellent as to make this book one of i that comment is unnecessary and praisesuperfluous the finest specimens of the art of printing that have given such a world-wide reputation to its enter- prising and liberal publishers. We ■welcome Rams- botham's Principles and Practice of Obstetric Medi- The illustrations, whiidi are numerous and accurate, are executed in the highest style of art. We cannot too highly recommend the work to our readers.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal.

To render this large and important work more easy of reference, and at the same time less cum- brous and costly, the four volumes have been arranged in two, retaining, however, the separate paging, ^'c. The pulilishers feel much pleasure in presenting to the profession of the LTnited Stales the great work of Prot. Kokltansky, which is universally relc-rred to as the standard of authority bv the pa- thologists of all nations. Under the au>pices of the Sydenham Society of London, the combined labor of four translators has at length overcome the almost insuperable difficulties which have so long prevented the appearance of the work in an English dress, while the additions made from various papers and essays of the author present his views on all the topics embraced, in their latest published I'orm. To a work so widely known, eulogy is unnecessary, and the publishers would merely state that it i- said to contain the results of not less than thirty thousand jwst-mortem examinations made by the author, diligently compared, generalized, and wrought into one com- plete and harmonious system. The profession is too well acquainted with the re- i so charged his text with valuable truths, that any putation of Rokit.-insky's Avork to need our assur- attempt of a reviewer to epitomize is at once para- ance that this is one of the most profound, thorough, lyzed, and must end in a failure.— Weste^'n Lancet. and valuable books ever issued frcun the medical ^s this is the highest source of knowledge upon press.

It is only nece-sary to announce that it is issued in a form as cheap as is compatible with its size and preservation, and its sale follows as a matter of course. No library can be called com- plete without it.—Buffalo Med. Journal. An attempt to give our readers any adequate idea of the vast amount of instruction accumulated in these volumes, would be feeble and hopeless.

The American publishers have entitled themselves to the thanks of the profession of their country, for this timeousand beautiful edition.—Nashville Journal of Medicine. As a book of reference, therefore, this work must prove of inestimable value, and we cannot too hiehly recommend it to the profession.— Charleston Med. Journal and Review, Jan. 1S58. This book is a necessity to every practitioner.—$
