    curriculum of every dental college. In application it approaches a fine art. In no branch of dentistry will lack of knowledge and skill or the exhibition of carelessness in constructive details be more plainly evidenced, or result in greater proportionate injury instead of benefit. Criticism of failures should therefore be gov- erned by these considerations. Many failures are to be attribiited to attempts to perform bridge-work operations with about the same expenditure of time on 'the part of the dentist and money on the part of the patient as in plate-work. There is no such rela- tion between these two methods of procedure. The advances in porcelain inlays and porcelain bridge-work have been so conspicuous during the past year or two that it has been deemed desirable, in order that they might be properly pre- sented, to give them a distinct classification under the title, Por- celain Dental Art. Acknowledgment is specially made by the author to Dr. F. J. Capon, of Toronto, Canada, for suggestions on porcelain crown- work, personally given; to the writings of Dr. C. L. Alexander, of Charlotte, N^. C, on crown- and bridge-work, in the Dental Cosmos; to Dr. W. H. Taggart and Dr. H. J. Goslee, of Chicago, papers and discussions on porcelain bridge-work in the Dental Review; to Dr. J. L. Williams, of London, Eng., and Dr. Joseph Head, of Philadelphia, writings on porcelain inlays in the Dental Cosmos; to Dr. W. A. Capon, of Philadelphia, for suggestions personally given and writings on porcelain dental art; Dr. 'N. S, Jenkins, of Dresden, Germany, for personal suggestions and writ- ings on porcelain inlays.
