    CUTANEOUS DISEASES. In Frrparntion.] Samuel PInmbe. APRACTICAL TREATISE ON DISEASES OF THE SKIN. Their Constitutional Causes and Local Character, etc. By SAMUEL PLUMBE, Lale Senior Surgeon to the Royal Metropolitan Infirmary for Children, &c. Illustrated with Splendid Coloured Copper-plate and Lithographic Engiavings. New edition, greatly enlarged. Pluhibe on Diseases of the Skin.—This excellent Treatise upon an order of diseases, the pathology of which is, in general, as obscure as the treatment is empirical, has just been repub- lished, edited by Dr. Jol)n Bell, of this city. We hail with pleasure the appearance of any new work calculated to elucidate the intricate and ill-understoc)d subject of skin-diseases. Tlie late Dr. Mackintosh, in his Practice of Physic, recommends it as the 'best pathological and prac- tical treatise on this class of diseases, which is to be found in any language.' —P/iil. Med. Kxam. This work is one of the most excellent on the Diseases of the Skin in the English language. — West. Jour, of Med. and Phys. Sciences. Thomas Nunneley. A TREATISE ON THE NATURE, CAUSES. AND TREATMENT OF ERYSIPELAS. By THOMAS NUNNELEY, Lecturer on Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology in the Leeds School of Medicine, Surgeon to the General Eye and Lar Infirmary, «&c., &c. 1 vol. 6vo. sheep. Nothing short of a perusal of the entire book will do justice to the author or reader.— Western Lancet. The work in its enlireness is one which will be accounted necessary to every physician's library.—llestern Joiirn. of Medicine and Surgery. Did our space allow, it would be both interesting and profitable to enter into a full analysis of this work ; but we would advise our readers, one and all, to purchase it, and thus judge of its value from a personal examination of its pages.—JV. Y.Jour. Med. and Collat. Sciences, •' Mr. Nunneley contends, and we think with success,that puerperal fever and ery- sipelas are one and the same disease, modified by the seat of the inflammation. — iV. Orleans JMed. Jour. CLINICAL 3IEDICINE. Graves and Gerhard. CLINICAL LECTURES. By ROBERT J. GRAVES, M.D., M.R.I.A., Professor of the Institutes of Medicine in the School of Physic, Trinity College, Dublin. WITH APDITIONAL LECTURES ANB NOTES, By W. W. GERHARD, M.D., Lecturer on Clinical Medicine to the University of Pennsylvania, Physician to the Philadelphia Hospital, Blockley, &c. 1 vol. 8vo. sheep. In the volume before ns, a series of clinical lectures hy Dr. Gerhard is given, and forms a most appropriate and acceptable addition to those of Dr. Graves. Between these two distinguished physicians we can trace many points of resemblance. We find in both the same professional zeal, — the same powers of close and correct observa'.ion, — the same discriminatiiiplact, —the same disregard of idle theory,—and the same decision in the application of right prmciples. No stu- dent or practitioner should be without this volume. It is in itself a library of practical medicine.'' -N. Y. Lajicet.
