    Lately published, In demy 8vo. price 8s. bds. (with two illustrative Engravings,) A TREATISE on the MEDICINAL LEECH, including its Medical and Natural History ; with a Description of its Anatomi¬ cal Structure. Also, Remarks upon the Diseases, Preserv¬ ation, and Management of Leeches. By J. R. JOHNSON, M.D. F.R.S., &c. “ The utility of the leech in the practice of the healing art, especially in the country where cupping is not commonly successfully performed, renders every thing connected with its history interesting. We must refer to the volume before us for what regards the medical, natural, and anatomical history of the leech, where the reader will find much information and some novelty.”—Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal. “ Notwithstanding the importance of the leech in a medical point of view, and the employment of it for the abstraction of blood since very early periods, yet it is remarkable that so little had been done to investigate its natural history. Dr. Johnson has endeavoured to fill up this blank, and has executed the task in a very satisfactory manner.”—London Medical Ri'pository. “ The interest we have felt in this ingenious performance has induced us to protract our account longer than such an article might seem to admit—to re¬ commend it would be superfluous, since the medical practitioner will find an interest in every part.”—London Medical and Physical Journal. London: Printed by A. & It. Spottiswoode, NeW- Street-Square.
