$TEISHMAN [WILLIAM), M.D., Regius Professor of Midwifery in the University of Glasgow, &c. A SYSTEM OF MIDWIFERY, INCLUDINa THE DISEASES OF PREGNANCY AND THE PUERPERAL STATE. Second American, from the Second and Revised English Edition, with additions by John S. Parry, M.D., Obstetrician to the Philadelphia Hospital, &c. In one large and very handsome octavo volume of over 700 pages, with about two hundred illustrations. {^Preparing.) This is one of a most complete and exhaustive cha- racter. We have gone carefully through it, and there is no subject in Obstetrics which has not been con- sidered well and fully. The result is a work, not only admirable as a text-book, but valuable as a work of reference to the practitioner in the various emer- gencies of obstetric practice. Take it all in all, we have no hesitatiou in saying that it is in our judgment the best English work on the subject.—LondonLon- eet, Aug. 23, 1873. The work of Leishman gives an excellent view of modern midwifery, and evinces its author's extensive acquaintance with British and foreign literature ; and not only acquaintance with it, but wholesome diges- tion and sound judgment of it. He has, withal, a manly, free style, and can state a difficult and compli- cated matter with remarkable clearness and brevity. —Edin. Med. Journ., Sept. 1873. The author has succeeded in presenting to the pro- fession an admirable treatise, especially in its practi- cal aspects ; one which is, in general, clearly written, and sound in doctrine, and one which cannot fail to add to his already high reputation. In concluding our examination of this work, we cannot avoid again saying that Dr. Leishman has fully accomplished that difficult task of presenting a good text-book upon obstetrics. We know none better for the use of the stu- dent or junior practitioner.—Am. Practitioner, Mar. 1874. It proposes to offer to practitioners and students A Complete System of the Midwifery of the Present Day, and well redeems the promise. In all that relates to the subject of labor, the teaching is admi- rably clear, concise, and practical, representing not alone British practice, but the contributions of Con- tinental and American schools.—If, T. Med. Record, March 2, 1874. The work of Dr. Leishman is, in many respects, not only the best treatise on midwifery that we have seen, but one of the best treatises on any medical sub- ject that has been published of late years.—Lond. Practitioner, Feb. 1874. It was written to supply a desideratum, and we will be much surprised if it does not fulfil the purpose of its author. Taking it as a whole, we know of no work on obstetrics by an English author in which the student and the practitioner will find the information so clear and so completely abi east of the present state of our knowledge on the srOoiect.—Glasgow Med. Journ., Aug. 1873. Dr. Leishman's System of Midwifery, which has only just been published, will go far to supply the want which has so long been felt, of a really good modern English text-book. Although large, as is in- evitable in a work on so extensive a subject, it is so well and clearly written, that it is never wearisome to read. Dr. Leishman's work may be confidently recommended as an admirable text-book, and is sure to be largely used.—Lond. Med. Record, Sept. 1873. PAMSBOTHAM [FRANCIS H.), M.D. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRIC MEDI- CINE AND SURGERY, in reference to the Process of Parturition. A new and enlarged edition, thoroughly revised by the author. With additions by W. V. Keating, M. D., Professor of Obstetrics, Ac, in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. In one large and handsome imperial octavo volume of 650 pages, strongly bound in leather, with raised bands ; with sixty-four beautiful plates, and numerous wood-cuts in the text, containing in all nearly 200 large and beautiful figures. $7 00. To the physician's library it is indispensable, while to the student, as a text-book, from which to extract the material for laying the foundation of an education on obstetrical science, it has no superior.—Ohio Med. and Surg. Journal. When we call to mind the toil we underwent in acquiring a knowledge of this subject, we cannot but envy the student of the present day the aid which this work will afford him.—Am. Jour, of the Med. Sciences. We will only add that the student will learn from it all he need to know, and the practitioner will find it, as a book of reference, surpassed by none other.— Stetho.scope. The character and merits of Dr. Ramsbotharn's work are so well known and thoroughly established, that comment is unnecessary and praise superfluous. The illustrations, which are numerous and accurate, are executed in the highest style of art. We cannot too highly recommend the work to our readers.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal.
