![PJRICHSEN [JOHN E.), Professor of Surgery in University College, London, etc. THE SCIENCE AND ART OF SFRGERY; being a Treatise on Sur- gical Injuries, Diseases, and Operations. Carefully revised by the author from the Seventh and enlarged English Edition. Illustrated by eight hundred and sixty two en- gravings on wood. Ie two large and beautiful octavo volumes of nearly 2000 pages : cloth, $S 60 ; leather, $10 50. (,Noto Ready.) In revising this standard work the author has spared no pains to render it worthy of a continu- ance of the very marked favor which it has so long enjoyed, by bringing it thoroughly on a level with the advance-in the science and art of surgery made since the appearance of the last edition. To accomplish this has required the addition of about two hundred page.' of text, while the illustrations have undergone a marked improvement. A hundred and fifty additional wood-cuts have been inserted, while about fifty other new ones have been substituted for figures which were not deemed satisfactory. In its enlarged and improved form it is therefore pre- sented with the confident anticipation that it will maintain its position in the front rank of text-books for the student, and of works of reference for the practitioner, while its exceedingly moderate price places it within the reach of all. The seveuth edition is before the world as the la.st word 01 surgical science. There may be monographs whicli excel it upon certain point.s, but as a con- spectus upon surgical principles and practice it is unrivalled. It will well reward pVHCtitiouers to read it, for it has been a peculiar province of Mr. Erichsen to demoustrate the absolute interdepend- ence of medical and surgical science We need scarcely add, in conclusion, that we heartily com- mend the work to students that they may be grounded in a sound faith, and to practitioners as an Invaluable guide at the bedside.—Am Practi- tioner, April, 1S7S. It is no iile compliment to say that this is the best edition Mr. Erichsen has ever produced of his well- known boon. Besides inheriting the virtues of iis predecessors, it possesses excelleuces quite its own. Having stated that Mr. Erichsen his incorporated into this edition every recent improvement in the science and art of surgeiy, it would be a supereroga- tion to give a detailed criticism. In short, we un- hesitatingly aver th-tt we know of no other single work ivhere the student and practitioner can gain at oncesoclear aninsight iuto the principles of surgery, and so complete a knowlsdge of the exigencies of surgical practice.—iojicioji Lancet, Feb. 11, 1878 For the past twenty years Erichsen's Surgery has maintained its place as the leading text-book, not only in this country, but in Great Britain. That it is able to hold its ground, is abundantly proven by the tho- roughness wifh which the present edition has been revised, and by the large amount of valuable mate- rial that has been added. Aside from this, cne hun- dred and fifty uew illustrations have been inserted, including quite a number of microscopical appear- ances of paih.il .gical processes, cio mirked is this change for the better, that the work almost appears as an entirely new one.—Med. Record, Feb. 23,1878. Of the many treatises on Surgery which it has been our task to study, or our pleasure to read, there is none which in all points has satisfied us so well as the classic- treatise of Kricbsen. His polished, clear style, liisfree- dom from prejudice and hobbies, his unsurpassed grasp of his subject, and vast clinical experience, qualify him admirably to write a model text-book. When we wish, at the least cost of time, to learn the most of a topic in surger3', we turn, by preference, to his work. It is a pleasure, therefore, to see that the appreciation of it is general, and has led to the appearance of another edi- tion.—Med. and Sing. Mepoflfr, Feb. 2,1878. Notwithstanding the increase in size, we observe that much old matter has been omitted. The entire work has been thoroughly written up, and not merely amend- ed by a few extra chapters A great improvement has been madein the illustrations. One hundred and fifty new ones have been added, and many of the old ones have been redrawn The author highly appreciates the favor wiih which his work has been received by Ameri- can surgeons, and has endeavored to render bis latest edition more than ever worthy of their approval. That be has succeeded admirably, must, we think, be the general opinion. We heartily recommend the book to both student and practitioner.—N. Y. Med. Journal, Feb. 1878. Erichsen has stood so prominently forward for years as a writer on Surgery, that his reputation is world wide, and his name is as familiar to the med- ical student as to the accomplished and experienced surgeon. The work is not a reprint of former edi- tions, but has in many places been entirely rewrit- ten. Recent improvements in surgery have not es- caped his notice, various new operations have been thoroughly analyzed, and their merits thoroughly discussed. One hundred and fifty uew wood-cuts add to the value of this work.—N. O. Med. and Surg. Journal, March, 1878. H OLMES [TIMOTHY], M.D., Surgeon to St. George's Hospital, London. SURGERY, ITS PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE. In one hand- some octavo volume of nearly 1000 pages, with 411 illustrations. Cloth, $6; leather, $7. (Jicst Issued.) This is a work which has been looked for on both sides ofthe Atlantic with much interest. Mr. Holmes is a surgeon of large and varied experience, and one of the best known, and perhaps the most brilliant writer upon surgical subjects in England. It is a book for students—and an admirable one—and for the busy general practitioner, it will give a student all the knowledge needed to pass a rigid examina- tion. The book fairly j uslilles the high expectalions that were formed of it. Its style is clear aud forcible, even brilliant at times, and the conciseness needed to bring it within its proper limits has not impaired its force and distinctness.—if. Y. Med. Record, April 14, 1876. It will be found a most excellent epitome of sur- gery by the general practitioner who has not the time to give attention to more minute and extended works and to the medical student. In fact, we know of no one we can more cordially recommt^nd. The author has succeeded well in giving a plain and practical account of each surgical injury and dis- ease, and of the treatment which is most com- monly advisable. It will no doubt become a popu- lar work in the profession, and especially as a text- book.— Cincinnati Med. News, April, 1S76.
