    “* The author says, ‘ The deformities of the chest, owing to their univer- sality, are of vast public interest, and afford an extensive field for patho- logical investigation.’ That field he has ably opened, and his work merits general perusal.”—Doncaster Chronicle, Oct. 1, 1836. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. Just published, in 4to, price 10s. 6d., ON THE DISEASES OF THE HIP JOINT. With plain and coloured Plates. ‘“‘ Mr. Coulson has devoted considerable attention to the Diseases of the Hip Joint. .... The morbid anatomy of the hip joint is interesting, and a very good account is given of it. The subjects are illustrated by well- executed lithographic engravings.” Medical Gazette, Nov. 5, 18386. ‘* Even to an unprofessional eye, it bears decided marks of careful observa- tion and sound and modest judgment.” — Times. “We must now conclude, earnestly recommending its perusal, not merely to the profession, but to all those who may have the misfortune to suffer under the afflicting malady on which it so ably treats.” Sunday Times. ‘“* A handsome and considerable volume on the Diseases of the Hip Joint. It is plainly, perspicuously, and neatly written, so that unprofessional men may understand and find pleasure in reading it. The plates are excellent, and are as easy to comprehend as the perspicuous text.’’— Courier. ‘“* Mr. Coulson has thoroughly exhausted the subject, and he has brought to his task the results of considerable study of other writers, and, what is still better, of a wide observation of disease in the living, and of patho- logical examination in the dead, carried on under peculiarly favourable circumstances.”— Spectator. “ This is a most valuable work on the affections of a principal part of the human frame, and is evidently written by one well acquainted with the subject on which he treats.” —Odserver.
