addition to that which it owes to the indefatigable author of the 

 original treatise. An English translation of the learned work of 

 Chelius, now appearing under the supervision of Dr. N orris, is the 

 only one likely to come in competition with this voluminous and 

 comprehensive production. Dr. Doane has translated the Clinical 

 Lectures of Dupuytren and of Lisfranc, and the excellent Treatise 

 of Ricord on Venereal Diseases : Lallemand on Spermatorrhea, giving 

 an important but exaggerated view of a certain class of cases, has 

 been translated by Dr. Wood. 



It is unnecessary to mention the names of all those authors of 

 established merit whose works have been reprinted in this country. 

 The writings of Hunter, Pearson, Hennen, Abernethy, the Coopers, 

 Travers, Brodie, Guthrie, and many more, familiar to every surgical 

 student, have been multiplied in this country perhaps as freely as 

 in their own. Those which have been more recently introduced are 

 the several works of Liston, republished under the care of Drs. 

 Gross, Mutter and Norris, whose names are a guarantee of their 

 excellence, those of Fergusson and of Miller, and especially the 

 popular Vacle Mecum of Druitt, one of the series of publications 

 which are making a medical Elzevir of Mr. Churchill. Dr. Walshe's 

 admirable essay on Cancer from the Cyclopaedia of Surgery, was 

 published a few years since with real and important additions by 

 Dr. J. M. Warren. 



In Ophthalmology, the original Manual of Dr. Littell was pub- 

 lished in 1846, and that of Mr. T. Wharton Jones, edited by Dr. 

 Hays, during the present year. The same editor superintended the 

 publication of Lawrence a few years before, a new edition of which 

 has recently appeared. The copious treatise of Mackenzie was re- 

 published in Boston some years earlier. 



In Dental Surgery, the principal original works are those of Dr. 

 Harris, and Dr. Goddard. The treatise of Maury, translated by 

 Dr. Savier, is highly recommended and used as a text book in the 

 Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. The classical work of Fox 

 has been remodelled and published under the care of Dr. Harris. 



THEORY AND PRACTICE. 



A considerable number of original treatises of a general character 

 have appeared in this country. The syllabus of Dr. James Jackson 

 and the volume by Dr. Hosack, were only abstracts or partial repre- 

 sentations of the lectures given by these distinguished teachers.
