They are in every way worthy of their author ; I rule, adequately handled in the text-books; others indeed, we look upon them as among the most i of them, while bearing upon topics that are usually valuable of his contributions.

Bledical students will find this work adapted to their wants. Also practitioners of medicine will find it exceedingly convenient to consult for the purpose of refreshing their minds upon the lead- ing points of a gynEeeologieal subject.
