Thegreatwork, the crowning labor of the distinguished author, and through which so many generations of students have acquired their knowledge of Physiology,has been almost meta- morphosed in the effort to acapt it thoroughly to the requirements of modern science. Since the appearance of the last American edition, it has had several revisions at the experienced hand of Mr. Power, who has modified and enlarged it so as to introduce all that is important in the investigations and discoveries of England, France, and Germany, resulting in an enlarge- ment of about one-fourth in the text. The series of illustrations has undergone alike revision, a large proportion of the former ones having been rejected, and the total number increased to nearly four hundred. The thorough revision which the work has so recently received in Entrland. hasrendered unnecessary any elaborate additions in this country, but the American Edftor, Professor Smith, has introduced such matters as his long experience has shown him to be requisite for the student. Every care has been taken with the typographical execution , and the work is presente-d, with its thousand closely, but clearly printed pages, as emphatically the text-book for the student and practitioner of medicine—the one in which, as heretofore, especial care is directed to show the applications of physiology in the various practical branches of medical science. Notwithstanding its very great enlargement, the price has not been in- creased, rendering this one of the cheapest works now before the profession. We have been agreeably surprised to find the vol- subject, perfectly certain of the fulness of information nme so complete in regard to the structure and func- ' it will convey, .ind well satisfied of the accuracy with tlons of tbe nervoug system in all its relations, a | which it will there be found stated.—London Med.
