it not only to the philosophical practitioner, but also to the general reader. 

 Were medical works generally written with as much care and beauty as 

 Dr Clark's, we would hear no more of the coarseness and pedantry of the 

 medical philosopher.

 S^c. S^c. By John Johnston, Esq. Land-Surveyor. Third Edition 

 Enlarged. One vol. 4to. pp. 225. With numerous Engravings. 

 Edinburgh. 1836. 



It is scarcely necessary on our part, to notice this now well known and 

 very highly esteemed work, farther than to add our recommendation of 

 it, to those which have proceeded from so many respectable quarters, 

 and to announce the publication of a third and enlarged edition. It is a 

 work deserving a place in the library of every landed proprietor in the 

 country. 



3. A Manual of Select Medical Bibliography , in which the hooks are arran- 

 ged Chronologically according to the subjects, and the derivations of the 

 Terms, and the Nosological and Vernacular Synonyms of the Diseases, 

 are given : With an Appendix, containing Lists of the Collected Works 

 of Authors, Systematic Treatises on Medicine, Transactions of So- 

 cieties, Journals, S^c. S^c. By John Forbes, M. D., F, R. S,, one of the 

 Editors of the Encyclopedia of Practical Medicine, and of the British 

 and Foreign Medical Review. London, Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper. 

 Royal octavo, pp. 403. 1836. 



Dr Forbes is already so well known as an able and successful practi- 

 tioner, a good naturalist, and learned physician, that it is sufficient to 

 mention his name to secure the attention of the medical world to any 

 work proceeding from his hands. The present volume we have found 

 very useful, indeed is now indispensable to us, and we doubt not it has 

 ere this time become well known to every student of medical science. 



4. A Manual of British Vertebrate Animals, or descriptions of all the ani- 



mals belonging to the classes Mammalia, Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia, and 

 Pisces, which have been hitherto observed in the British Islands ; in-

 whole systematically arranged. By the Rev. Leonard Jenyns, M. A., 

 F. L. S., G. S., E. S., and Cambridge Philosophical Society. Cam- 

 bridge, at the University Press. Longman and Co. London. 8yo. 

 pp. 669. 



This valuable work, which fully answers the high expectations formed 

 of it, has our entire approbation. We trust it is the precursor of other 

 treatises on the Natural History of the Animals of Great Britain.
