$ASHHURST [JOHN, Jr.), M.D., Surgeon to the Episcopal Hospital, Philadelphia. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF SURGERY. In one very large and handsome octavo volume of about 1000 pages, with nearly 650 illustrations, cloth, $6 50; leather, raised bands, $7 50. [Lately Published.) The object of the author has been to present, within as condensed a compass as possible, a complete treatise on Surgery in all its branches, suitable both as a text-book for the student and a work of reference for the practitioner. So much has of late years been done for the advance- ment of Surgical Art and Science, that there seemed to be a want of a work which should present the latest aspects of every subject, and which, by its American character, should render accessible to the profession at large the experience of the practitioners of both hemispheres. This has been the aim of the author, and it is hoped that the volume will be found to fulfil its purpose satisfac- torily. Its author has evidently tested the writings and experiences of the past and present in the crucible of a careful, analytic, and honorable mind, and faith- fully endeavored to bring his work up to the level of the highest standard of practical surgery. He is frank and definite, and gives us opinions, and gene- rally sound ones, instead of a mere resume of the opinions of others. He is conservative, but not hide- bound by authority. His style is clear, elegant, and scholarly. The work is an admirable tex-tbook, and a useful book of reference It is a credit to American professional literature, and one of the first ripe fruits of the soil fertilized by the blood of our late unhappy war.—ivr. y. Med. Record, Feb. 1, 1872. Indeed, the work as a whole must be regarded as an excellent and concise exponent of modern sur- gery, and as such it will be found a valuable text- book for the student, and a useful book of reference for the general practitioner.—iV. Y. Med. Journal, Feb. 1872. It gives us great pleasure to call the attention of the profession to this excellent work. Our knowledge of its talented and accomplished author led us to expect from him a very valuable treatise upon subjects to which he has repeatedly given evidence of having pro- fitably devoted much time and labor, and we are in no way disappointed.—P/iiZa. Mtd. Times, Feb. 1, 1872. H OLMES [TIMOTHY), M.D., Surgeon to St. George's Hospital, London. SURGERY, ITS PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE.

College, New Torh. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON FRACTURES AND DISLOCA- TIONS. Fifth edition, revised and improved. In one large and handsome octavo volume of nearly 800 pages, with 344 illustrations. Cloth, $5 75; leather, $6 75 {Nearly Ready. This work is well known, abroad as well as at home, as the highest authority on its important subject—an authority recognized in the courts as well as in the schools and in practice—and again manifested, not only by the demand for a fifth edition, but by arrangements now in pro- gress for the speedy appe.irance of a translation in Germany. The repeated revisions which the author has thus had the opportunity of making have enabled him to give the most careful consid- eration to every portion of the volume, and he has sedulously endeavored in the present issue, to perfect the work by the aid of his own enlarged experience and to incorporate in it whatever of value has been added in this department since the issue of the fourth edition. It will there- fore be found considerably improved in matter, while the most careful attention has been paid to the typographical execution, and the volume is presented to the profession In the confident hope that it will more than maintain its very distinguished reputation. A few notices of the previous edition are subjoined :— Prof. Hamilton has a world-wide reputation as the author of a Treatise on Fractures and Dislocations, which it is safe to say has uo equal in the English language.—Buffalo Med. and Surg. Jonrn., Nov. 1872. The best work on the subject now published.—Am. Jo^irn. of Med. Sci., Jan. JS73. It is undoubtedly the best on those subjects in the English language — Nashville Med and Stirg. Journ., Dec. 1872. It is not, of course, our intention to review, in ex- tenso, Hamilton on Fractures and Dislocations. Eleven years ago such review might not have been o^t of place ; to-day the work is au authority, so well, 80 generally, and so favorably known, that it only remains for the reviewer to say that a new edition is just out, and it is better than either of its predeces- sors.—Cincinnati Clinic, Oct. 14, 1871. Uadoubtedly the best work on Fractures and Dis locations in the English language.—Cincinnati Med- Repertory, Oct. 1871. We have once more before us Dr. Hamilton's admi- rable treatise, which we have always considered the most complete and reliable work on the subject. Ae a whole, the work is without an equal in the litera- ture of the profession.—Boston Med. and Surg Journ., Oct. 12, 1871. It is unnecessary at this time tocommend the book, except to such as are beginners in the study of this particular branch of surgery. Every practical sur- geon in this country and abroad knows of it as a most trustworthy guide, and one which they, in common with us, would unqualifiedly recommeoti as the high- est authority in any language.—N. Y. Med. Record, Oct. 1(5, 1871.$
