LIST OF PROFESSOR DEWHURST's WORKS. 325 



occasion to speak. The extensive circulation of this little Essay, of which 

 the price is hardly more than nominal, will probably save the nation many 

 millions a year in the article of fuel. We have received some other of the 

 Professor's works, but have not yet had time to read them with the attention 

 they seem to deserve." — Maidstone Gazette, Nov. 12, 1833. 

 See also the " Worcester Herald" of December 28, 1833. 



3. A LECTURE on the STUDY OF NATURAL HISTORY, 

 adapted for the perusal of Youth. 



" We cannot do better than strongly recommend to every parent to place 

 this little book in the hands of their children ; it will give them, in a clear 

 and concise manner, an idea of the wonderful works of the Creation, and 

 lead them pleasingly on to the study of the more complex works. We only 

 regret that the highly talented author has not entered more largely into the 

 subject. The price, however, would not admit of our desires." — Weekly 

 Visitor, Feb. 1832. 



4. PORTABLE BATH. " Professor Dewhurst has constructed an in- 

 genius portable Vapour and Warm Air Bath, possessing all the advantages of 

 Captain Jekyll's, at not one-sixth the cost. When taken to pieces, and 

 put into the case, it is about the size of a writing desk. For travelling inva- 

 lids, in particular, it is invaluable ; vessels carrying passengers should not 

 be without one of these useful machines.'' — Weekly Visitor, March, 1832. 



5. A DISSERTATION on the COMPONENT PARTS of an 

 ANIMAL BODY ; being a Lecture introductory to the Study of Human, 

 Comparative, and Physiological Anatomy. Fourth Fdition. 



" The first edition of this introductory discourse was published in 1827, 

 and obtained, as it deserved, the unqualified approbation of the most eminent 

 characters in the medical profession ; and received a similar well-earned 

 applause at the various literary and scientific institutions, in and near the 

 Metropolis, before whose members the talented author delivered his popular 

 courses on Human and Comparative Anatomy. 



"At the request of many of his friends, and at the call of the public, the 

 learned author has republished his Dissertation, and in his new Edition 

 has added great portions of new matter, which cannot fail to be highly in- 

 teresting and instructive to the medical student and general reader. He 

 has endeavoured, on this occasion, to avoid, as much as possible, the intro- 

 duction of uncouth technical terms.which tend to prevent their general cultiva- 

 tion, are often perplexing to the pupil, and impossible to be understood by the 

 public at large. In this Professor Dewhurst has shown the judgment of a 

 superior and intelligent mind. 



" We doubt not that the perusal of this Dissertation will be the means of 

 making medical and veterinary students very much more attentive to the 

 study of Anatomy than is generally done ; and afford to the general reader 

 an opportunity of obtaining possession of a small portion of information, and 

 stimulating his zeal for further acquisition, which combined with a little more 

 gained by actual instruction by a proper teacher (as for instance Mr. Dew- 

 hurst), may occasionally be the means of saving a fellow-creature's life, by 

 compressing a large artery, thus checking a fatal hemorrhage, merely from 

 his understanding the course of a blood-vessel. 



" Into a critical analysis of this excellent dissertation we shall not again 

 enter, having fully displayed the merits of the first edition in a former 

 number. We have only to cordially recommend it to the attentive notice c 

 the nume ous professional and general readers of this extensively circulating
