    NEILL (JOHN), M. D., Surgeon to the Pennsylviinia Hospital, Ac.; and FRANCIS GURNEY SMITH, M.D., Professor of Institutes of Medicine in the Pennsylvania Medical College. AN ANALYTICAL COMPENDIUM OP THE VAKIOUS BRANCHES OF MEDICAL SCIENCE; for the Use and Examination of Students. Second edition, revised and improved. In one very large and handsomely printed royal 12mo. volume, of over one thousand pages, with three hundred and filly illustrations on wood. Strongly bound in leather, with raised bands. The speedy sale of a large impression of thi.s work has afforded to the authors gratifying evidence of the correctness of the views which actuated them in its preparation. In meeting the demand for a second edition, they have therefore been desirous to render it more W'orthy of the favor with which it has been received. To accpmplish this, they have spared neither time nor labor in embo- dying in it such discoveries and improvements as have been made since its first appearance, and such alteratiotis as haYe been, suggested by its practical use in the class and examination-room. Considerable modifications have thus been introduced throughout all the departments treated of in the volume, but more especially in the portion devoted to the “Practice of Medicine,” which has been entirely rearranged and rewritten. The authors therefore again submit their work to the profession, with the hope that their efforts may tend, however humbly, to advance the great cause of medical education. Notwithstanding the enlarged size and improved execution of this work, the price has not been increased, and it is confidently presented as one of the cheapest volumes now before the profession. In the rapid course of lectures, where work for the students is heavy, and review necessary for an examination, a compend is not only valuable, but it is almost a sine qua non. The one before us is, in most of the divisions, the most unexceptionable of all books of the kind that we know of. The newest and soundest doctrines and the latest im- provements and discoveries are explicitly, though concisely, laid before the student. Of course it is useless for us to recommend it to all last course students, but there is a class to whom we very sincerely commend this cheap book ns worth its weight in silver — that class is the graduates in medicine of more than ten years’ standing, who have not studied medicine since. They will perhaps find out from it that the science is not exactly now what it was when theyleftit oS.—The Stethoscope Having made free use of this volume in our ex- aminations of pupils, we can speak from experi- ence in recommending it ns an admirable compend for students, and as especially useful to preceptors who examine their pupils. It will save the teacher much labor by enabling him readily to recall all of the points upon which his pupils should be ex- amined. A work of this sort sliould be in the hands of every one who takes pupils into bis office with a view of examining them; and this is unquestionabl)' the best of its class. I.et every practitioner who has pupils provide himself with it, and he will find the labor of refreshing his knowledge so much facilitated that he will be able to do justice to his pupils at very little cost of time or trouble to himself.—Transyl- vania Med.
