some octavo volume of nearly 1000 pages, 

 (Just Issued.) 



Wo believe it to bp by far the best surgical text-book 

 that we have, insomuch as it is the coinplete-t, and 

 the one most thoroughly brought up to the knowledge 

 of the present day. All who will give this book the 

 careful perusal that it de>erves and requires, whe- 

 ther student or practitioner, will agree with us, thut, 

 from the happy way in which justice is done, both to 

 the principles and practice of surgery, from the care 

 with which its pages are brought up to modern date, 

 from the respect which is paid all along to the opin- 

 ions of others, it deserves to take the first place 

 among the text-books on surgery. British Med. 

 Jonrn., Dec. 25, 1S7.0. 



This is a work which has been looked for on both 

 sides of the Atlantic with much interest. Mr. Holmes 

 is a surgeon of large and varied experience, and one 

 of the best known, and perhaps the most biilliant 

 writer upon surgical subjects in England. It is a 

 book for students aud an admirable one and for 

 the busy general practitioner Ft will give a student 

 all the knowledge needed to pass a rigid examina- 

 tion. The book fairly justifies the high expectations 

 that were formed if it. Its style is clear aud forcible, 

 even brilliant at times, and the conciseness need d

to bring it within its proper limits has not impaired 



its forehand distinctness. .V. 1". J/. /. I; /-./, April

It will be found a most excellent epitome of sur- 

 gery by the general practitioner who ha- not i he time 

 to give attention to more minute and extended works, 

 and to the medical student. In fact, we know of no 

 one we can more cordial'y recommend. The author 

 has succeeded well in giving a plain and practical 

 a"couut of each >urgical injury and d isea-e, .ind of 

 the treatment which is most commonly advi.-able. 

 It will no doubt become a popular work in the pro- 

 fession, and especially as a text-book. Cin nutnti 

 Mfil. .Vf /'*. April, 1806. 



In point of literary structure we have no words but 

 those of praise to write of Dr. Holmes's book His 

 diction is always graceful and clear, and he usually 

 works with great conscientiousness. There is much 

 independence of thoaght and a healthy disposition to 

 resi>t the tendency to walk in old tracks Mmply be- 

 raiise they are old. On the whole, he has done his \vork 

 in a rummer tor which it would be ungenerous not to 

 give him very high credit indeed. Dublin, Jnu.rn.if

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. (Now Ready.) 

 This work is well known, abroad as well as at home, as the highest authority on its important 

 subject an authoiity recognized in the courts as well as in the schools and'in ]>ra<-tiee and 

 again manifested, not only by the demand for a fifth edition, but by arrangements now in pro- 

 gress for the speedy appearance 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 

 o-f 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. 



There is 110 better work on the subject in exi-tence 

 than that of Dr. Hamilton. It should be in tbe p< --<- 

 sion of every general practitioner and surgeon. The 

 Am. Joiirn. of Obstetrics. Keb. 1S7G . 



The value of a work like this to the practical phvsi- 

 rian and surgeon can hardly be over-estimated. :md the 

 necessity of having such a book revised to the latest 

 dale?, not merely on account of the practical importance 



of its teachings, but also by reason of the medico b _-al 

 hearings of tbe cases of which it treai>. and n hn-li I
