The appearance of a second edition of this System i3 

 the fulfilment of the prophecy which we mad<' in a 

 former review, thai the book wa- de-lined to " become :i 

 favorite." The additions by l>r. I'arry arc' usiiall., not 

 ahtindunt, but certain places whic'h are pninicd out as 

 the weak part of Dr. Irishman's handirrat't have- ' .-c-n 

 greatly strengthened by abundant and very judicious 

 addenda. Phi/ad. Med. Times, Doc. 25, 1875. 



But the most valuable additions to the volume are 

 those made by the American editor. One of the I csl tests 

 of a man's ability is for him to lake a standard v, . n-k in 

 our profession, like this of Dr. I.oi.-hman. and materially 

 improve it. Many a one. with mure ambition than wis- 

 dom, has attempted it with other book- and failed. Hut 

 Dr. I'arry bas succeeded most admirably. We know no 

 obstetrical work that has anything better on the use of 

 the forceps than that which Dr. I'arry bas given in this. 

 and no work that has (he rational and intelligent views 

 upou lactation with which In 1 bas enriched this. Having 

 used "Leishman" for two years as a text-book for stu- 

 dents, we can cordially commend it. and are quite satisfied 

 to continue such use- now. Am. Pi-actitioner. Mar. 187 ti. 



This new edition decidedly confirms the opinion which 

 we expressed of the first edition of the work, in the May. 

 1874, number of this .Journal, that this is "the best 

 modern work on the subject in the Knglish language." 

 The excellent practical notes contributed by Dr. Parry 

 refer principally to the use of the forceps, lactation, and 

 the puerperal diseases, and are intended to increase the 

 usefulness of the work in this country. An entirely new- 

 chapter on diphtheria of puerperal -wounds has been 

 added (Dr. P. has had unusual experience in this form 

 of puerperal fever), and also a number of illustrations 

 of the principal obstetrical instruments in use in Ame- 

 rica. We have no hesitation in saying that the work, in
