![L^INLAYSON [JA3IES), M.D., Physician avd Lecturer on Clinical Medi-^ine in th. Glasgoio Western Infirmary, etc. CLIXICAL DIAGNOSIS ; A Handbook for Students and Prac- titioners of Medicine. In one handsome ]2mo. volume, of 546 pages, witli 85 illustra- tions. Cloth, S2 6.3. {Jmt Ready.) The concurrence of gentlemen specially familiar with the several subjects being requisite to the satisfnctory development of a plan so extensive, Dr. Finlayson hns secured the co-operation of Prof. Gairdner, who has contributed the chapter on the Physiognomy of Disease ; Prof. Wm. Stephenson that on Disorders of the Female Organs; Dr. Alex. Robertson that on Insanity; Prof. Samson Gemmell tljose on the Sphygmograph and Physical Diagnosis; and Dr. Joseph Coates those on the Fauces, Larynx, and Nares, and on the method of ^t\-ioxux\T\g post-mortem examinations. Other chapters have enjoyed the advantage of revision by gentlemen specially versed in their several subjects; and the volume is presented as thoroughl}' on a level with the most advanced condition of knowledge in a department which has made such rapid strides of advancement within the last few years. The book is an excelleat one, clear, concise, conve- nient, practical. It is replete with the very know- ledge the student needs when he quits the lecture- room and the laboratory for the ward and sick-room, and does Bot lack in information that will meet the wants of experienced and older men.—Phila. Med. Times, Jan. 4. 1S79. The aim of he author is to teach a student and practitioner how to examine a case so as to m& all his knowledge in arriving at a diagnosis. All the various symptoms of the several systems are grouped together in such a manner as to mike their relations to a final diagnosis clear and easy of apprehension. This work has been done by men of large experience and trained observation, who have been long recog- nized as authorities upon the subj.'Cis which they treat. There is a profusion of illustrations to illus- trate subjects under discussion. The application of electricity, and instruments of precision in diagnosis, i.s fully discussed. This book i.s all good. We com- mend it to all students and practitioners of medicine as a work worthy of a place iu their libraries.—Ohio Med. Recorder. Dec. 1S7S. This is one of the really useful books. It is attrac- tive from pr.-face to the final page, and ought to be given a place on every office table, because it contains in a coiideuseil form all that is valuable in semeiology and diagnostics to be found in bulkier volnm>^s, and becau-e in its arrang-jment and complete index, it is unusually convenient for quick reference in any emergency that may come upon the busy practitioner. — iV. C. Med. Jourk., Jan. 1S79. This is a most important work for students, and one that is d.stined to become rapidly popular. It is composed of contributions from various eminent sources bearing upon this subject. The real secret of successful practice is the accurate diagnosis of disease. This manual teaches the student to arrange his investigation in such system as to enable him, with pract'ce, to acquire this very desirable faculty. The division of the subject, as in this work, among the highest authori'ies living, is a good idea, and gives us in one compact form a series of monographs written by masters.—Nashville Journal of Iftd. and Surg., Jan.

The author tells us in his preface that it has been his object to produce a concise, praciical book, and we think he has been successful, considering the ex- tent of the subject which lie has unilertaUen.

After this careful revision, we can heartily recommend this work to students and general practitioners in particular as beiug a full expo-ition of aiseases of the nervoas sys- tem, their pathnlugv and treatment, to date. —jV.

The reader may therefore expect information, more or less full and satisfactory, on almost every point the d nVreut disease^, the book not being greatly unlike Hammond's in this respect, although it is very noticeable lliroughout that the author's opin- ions vary widely from those of l)r Hammond.—Am.
