Dr. Bedford, while Denman, Burns, Maunsell, Collins, Kennedy, 

 Rigby, Ramsbotham, Blundell, the London Practice, Lee, Murphy, 

 Spratt, and even Ryan, have been appropriated, and sometimes im- 

 proved by successive generations of editors. 



The Diseases of Women were made the subject of a separate 

 volume by Dr. Dewees, and have been recently arrayed in a some- 

 what fantastic costume, in a volume of letters by the same hand to 

 which the translation of Colombat was owing. Lisfranc's Treatise 

 on Diseases of the Uterus, was translated by Dr. Lodge, of Boston. 

 Ashwell's Practical Treatise, the volume of Churchill, and various 

 essays on Puerperal Fever, have been reprinted. 



Four valuable works on the Diseases of Children have proceeded 

 from American authors. The first is that of Dewees, too long 

 known and valued to require comment, the second that of Dr. 

 Eberle, which would doubtless have been enlarged and improved by 

 the author, to meet the demands of the time, had he lived to watch 

 over the fate of his productions ; the third that of Dr. Stewart, which 

 appears to be a careful digest by an experienced practitioner; and 

 the last that of Dr. Condie, whose scholarship, acumen, industry and 

 practical sense are manifested in this, as in all his numerous contri- 

 butions to science. Besides these native productions, the treatise 

 of Billard has been translated by Dr. Stewart, that of Underwood 

 republished, with notes, by Dr. Bell, and the excellent one of Evan- 

 son and Maunsell, with notes, by Dr. Condie. 



Two original works on Medical Jurisprudence have done more 

 than almost any others to raise the character of medical science in 

 this country in foreign estimation, while they have been duly ho- 

 noured and valued at home. These are the Elements of Medical 

 Jurisprudence, by T. R. and J. B. Beck, universally accepted as an 

 authority of the highest order ; and the Medical Jurisprudence of 

 Insanity, by Dr. Ray, which has already been honourably mentioned. 

 Among the works that have been reprinted are those of Ryan, 

 Trail, Paris and Fonblanque, Christison, Guy and Taylor. 



This list may be closed by referring to the various works designed 

 for the temporary assistance of the student, such as the Manual of 

 Ludlow, the " Medical Student" of Dunglison, and the Vade-Mecum 

 of Mendenhall.
