Tbis is one of tbc most bi-nutiful works which have lately issued from the medical prens ; and u alike creditable to the tali-nt« of the author nnd the cntrrprise of the puMo-hi-r. Il i» a fruo<i and thoroughly practiciU treatise ; the dilferent subjects arc laid down in a clear an<l perspicuous form, niMl whatever is of importance, is illustrated by first-rate engravings. A remarkable feature of this work, which ought to be mentioned, ia its extraordinarj- cheapness.—Edinburgh Juumal of Medical Science. Dr. Ramsboihuni has treated the subject in a manner worthy of the reputation he poneoes, and bos succeeded in forniini; a book of relerence for ])r:ictitioncr», and a solid and easy guide for students. I^ookin^ at the contents of the volume, and its remarkably low price, we have no hesita- tion in saying that it has no parallel in the histor}' of publishing.—Provincial Medical and Surgical Journal. \ It is the book of midwifen' for students ; clear, but not too minute in its details, and sound in its practical instructions.—Dublin Journal of Medical Science. Our chief object now is to state our decided opinion that tbis work is by far the best that has appeared in this country. The value of the work, twi. is strongly enhanceil by the numerous and beautiful ilniwings, which are in the first style of excellence.—MrJicnl dnzrtte. W'c mo><t earnestly recommend this work to the student who wishes to acquire knowledge, and ^ to the pmetitioncr who wishes to refresh his memory, as a most faithful picture of practical niid- wiferv.—Or, Juhnsnn's lieriew.

Dr. IVwes states in his ndvertiKenu-nt to the American edition, ' that he was so much pleased with Dr. Knmv liothain's work mi Midwifery, that ho thiuii;ht lie would be doin){ an acce))talile oJhce to the medical community in Aiuerira, should he cause it to be re-published. He Ix-lieves he doo« not say too much when he declares it to be, in his opinion, one of the best pniclical works (so fur as it goes) extant.' This is an rxcrllcnt work, and well deserves a nlace in the first rank of pmctical treatises on the obstetric art ...
