The demand for tliis work having required that it should be again coinmittod to the press, some prefatory observations maj' be e.xpected from nie, in fulfilling the very grate- i'lil task of Kditor, wliicli was assigned to me some time ])rior to the lament^-d deceobe of SiK AsTLEV Cooi'Eii... .1 niay be allowed to express the gnitilieation I have exjK-rienced from the sentiments expressed in tile mass of correspondence, ah well as from the addi- tional cases which have been contributed from various sources since the last edition; as they all tend to form so many various, yet concurrent testimonies to the soundness of the principles which it is the object of this Treatise to inculcate; and much new matti-r has been added, which was derived from Sir Astley Cooper himself.... The reader will find the delineations copied from the quarto edition to be even more graphic and perspicu- ous than the originals; while the illustrations, now for the first time introduced into the work, are equally correct, clear, and expressive. The advantages of such engravings being placed in immediate connexion with the portion of the text which they are intended to elucidate, will not pass unnoticed by those who have felt the inconvenience of having to search at the end of the volume for each plate to which the reference occurs in the text. Although new matter and new illustrations have been added, the price has been reduced from two guineas to twenty .shillings. After tlie tiat of the profession, it would be absurd in us to eulogize Sir Astley Cooper's work on Fractures and Dislocations. It is a national one, and will probably sub- sist as long as English surgery.—Medico-C/iirurgical Hevit-w. In this work we find the last, the most matured views of its venerable author, who, with unex- ampled zeal, continued to almost the last moment of his life, to accumulate materials for perfecting his works. Kvcry practiciU surgeon must adtl the present volume to his lilimry. Its rommotiioua and portable form—no mean consideration—the gra|)hie, the almost speaking fon-e of the unetjuallrd illustrations, the copious addition of valuable and instructive coses, and the great improvement in clearness and precision which has been gained by the judicious arrangement of the materials, all combine to render the present edition indis])cnsable.—liritish und Foreign Mrdirul Jirrirtc, Jill the same AntJin)-.

Ciiniriiii,L having purchased of Mr. Bninsby Cooper this splendid work.constituting a monument to Sir .\stley Cooper's memory, has fixed the above low price with n view to its speedy siile ; lu- thinks it best to sUUe, (having received letters of enquiry) that the colouring of the plates, p;iper and type, will be found superior to the first etiition.
