This system will be eagerly sought for, not only ] ble teacher and trusted accoucheur, should embody on account of its intrinsic merit, but also because ■ within a single treatise the system which he has the reputation which the elder Barnes, in particu- taught and in practice tested, and which is the out- lar, has secured, carries with it the conviction that : come of a lifetime of earnest labor, careful obser- any book emanating from him is necessarily sound j vation and deep study. The result of this arrange- in teaching and conservative in practice. It is in- | ment is the production of a work which rises above deed eminently fitting that a man who has done so criticism and which in no respect need yield the much towards systematizing the obstetric art, who ! palm to any obstetrical treatise hitherto published, for so many years has been widely known as a eapa- j —American Journal of Obstetrics, Feb. 1886.

This still remains a favorite in America, not only because the author is recognized as a safe guide and eminently progressive man, but also as sparing no effort to make each successive edition a faithful mirror of the latest and best practice. A work so frequently noticed as the present requires no further review. We believe that this edition is simply the forerunner of many others, and that the demand will keep pace with the supply.—America?}- Journal of Obstetrics, Nov. 1885. i« jSinee its first publication, only eight j'ears ago, it has rapidly become the favorite text-book, to the practical exclusion of all others. A for students have very much to boast of in this respect.—Medical Record. In the short time that this excellent and highly esteemed work has been before the profession it has reached a fourth edition in this country and a fifth one in England. This fact alone speaks in high praise of it, and it seems to us that scarcely more need be said of it in the way of endorsement of its value. As a text book for students and for the uses of the general practitioner there is no work on obstetrics superior to the work of Dr. Playfair. Its teachings are practical, written in plain language, and afford a correct understanding of the art of midwifery. No one can be disap- pointed in it.—Cincinnati Medical News, June, 1885. D.

It must be acknowledged that this is just what it pretends to be—a sound guide, a portable epit- ome, a work in which only indispensable matter ha-s oeen presented, leaving out all padding and chaff, and one in which the student will find pure wheat or condensed nutriment.—New Orleans Med- ical and S'irgical .Journal, May, 1884. In a eeries of short paragraphs and by a con- measure of its popularity is due to the clear and of the art of midwifery, easy style in which it is written.

The fact that the demand for the volume has been such as to exhaust the first edition in a little over a year and a half speaks well for its popularity.—American Journal of the Medical Sciences, April, 1884.
