 beauty. 



The only foreign work on the Eruptive Fevers which has been re- 

 published, as far as the committee are aware, is that of Dr. Gregory, 

 consisting of his Lectures delivered at St. Thomas' Hospital. 



The special treatises on the diseases of the Thoracic Organs, are 

 Dr. Gerhard's Lectures on the Diseases of the Chest, an excellent 

 guide to the student, especially in all that relates to the physical 

 signs, Dr. Bowditch's Young Stethoscopist, Dr. S. G. Morton's Illus- 

 trations of Pulmonary Consumption, Dr. Sweetser's useful essay on 

 the same disease, and Dr. Green's Treatise on Diseases of the Air

 have been republished, are — Boisseau on Cholera Morbus; one of 

 Broussais' disciples, who found a translator in Dr. Bedford ; two or 

 three little books of Dr. James Johnson, whose character as a medical 

 author has been sketched with merciless justice by Dr. Bartlett; the
