It is almost unnecessary to speak of the merits of the above wcjriy Scanzoni has a world-wide reputation, and on the Continent of Europe he is considered as standing at the head of Obstetrical Science, being Professor of ALdwifery in the leading Co'.lege in Germany, and from his great ability and well known ex, erience, it makes this book the authority o\ this subject The American Editor, wlio (s himself noted among the principal Obstetricians of the metropolis of New-York, thus speaks of this book : Had 1 fully appreciated the amount of labor involved in the translation and editing of an American edition of this work, I should not have ventured on so great a responsibility. Having, however, dice commenced, I found myself unconsciously sustained by the interest the volume excited in my mind, and the further my task progressed, the stronger grew the conviction that I should be doing a good deed in prion ting to the prof, ssion of my country this treatise of the celebrated teacher of Wurzburg—a work which, on its subject, I think is unequ.dled in Geim.m. French cr English Languages. In the eitulogy, pathology and therapeutics of lemale diseases, with ail the improvements which have been realized dur.ng the last t.vcnty ycus, t.lis volume is exceedingly rich; while in its arrangement it is so methodical ihut it mutt constitute one of the text-books for students and one of the most reliable aids to the lu?y practitioner. The Pari? translation, of which the present is an English version, was subjected to the revision of the author. The valuable notes which the French translators have added are retained with the initials of the writers, while th;>se of myself are enclosed in brackets [ ], and have been incorporated in the text on account of their practical character. In its publication no expense has been spared. In typography, paper and illustrations, as now issued, it contains nearly 800 pages, Royal Octavo, handsomely bound in cloth, with beveled boards, and retails at $5 per copy.
