    The publication of an Atlas of Urinary Sediments has, for some time, been contemplated by Messrs. Griffin. Several years ago I was approached by them with regard to this matter,* but the preparation of the contemplated work was interrupted by various uncontrollable circumstances. On the appearance of Dr. Rieder’s Atlas, Messrs. Griffin expressed the desire that I should edit for them an English edition of it. This approved itself to me, for there was no modern work of the same kind in English, and the plates were faithful and good representations of urinary sediments. The value of the German text depends in part on Dr. Rieder’s original observations and partly on the matter which he has compiled from well-known standard German treatises, such as those of Neubauer and Vogel, Salkowski and Leube, &c. After securing the co-operation of Dr. F. C. Moore, who undertook the work of translation, I agreed to edit the English version. A literal translation of the German text having been prepared, we revised it carefully, in order to render it as clear and concise as could be done without considerably modifying the original. I have thought it desirable, however, to shorten several passages so as to avoid needless repetitions. It would have •been manifestly unfair to alter materially any of Dr. Rieder’s statements, even when other opinions than those expressed by him might appear correct. When such has been the case, additions have been made in the shape of annotations for which I am responsible, these are distinguished from the original text by being enclosed within square brackets. No bibliographical references being given in the German text, only few have been introduced in the annotations in order not to alter the style of the work. To meet this requirement the names of writers whose views have been referred to are given in each case so as to allow the reader to consult the treatises, of which a list is appended,! where he will find full bibliographical references. We have also added an alphabetical index, which, it is hoped, will render the Atlas more useful to practical workers. A. SHERIDAN DELEPINE. Manchester, April, 1899. * I had then devoted much attention to the study of the changes produced in urine by disease. Thus, in the course of some eight years I had prepared notes and drawings relating to over 4,000 urinary analyses and microscopic examinations carried out entirely by myself, most of the notes and 16 out of the 20 figures which have been added to the text are derived from these records. t See p. 100.
