This work was not intended to be an elaborate treatise on the 

 Analysis of Minerals, but as its name indicates, a Iland-Book, for 

 the use of those engaged in the lal:)oratory, for which purpose it 

 will be found very useful. Under the heading of each mineral are 

 given one or more concise processes for isolating its ingi-edients 

 from its ores or compounds. Over 130 dilferent mineral substan- 

 ces are thus treated. Appended to the work, are Tables of Equiva- 

 lent Weights of Simple and Compound Bodies, which will be very 

 convenient for the working analyst. 



Fii'sl Medical and Surgical Beport of the Boston City Hospital. 

 1870. Published by Little, Brown & Co. Boston, Mass. 



This volume of 688 octavo pages, gives a I'epoit of the numerous 

 cases treated at the Boston City Hospital for the first five years of 

 its existence. The great variety of cases reported make this emi- 

 nently useful to the physician, and a valuable addition to American 

 medical ^literature. We would be glad to speak of the merits of 

 this work at a great length, Init in a journal of the character of 

 ours it would not be appropriate ; however we commend it to oiu* 

 medical brethren in country practice as a work of reference. It is 

 edited by the Medical and Surgical Staff of the Hospital. It is 

 printed in large, clear type, on nice, thick paper, and is illustrated 

 with plain and colored lithographs, photographs, and wood cuts.

Physicians will find tliis an excellent book in which to record their 

 important female cases. It is so arranged that by filling out blanks in 

 each case a good description and history will be had up to the present 

 time, then a detailed account of it for the next six months or more 

 will require only one page, and not more tlian one hour's time. Two 

 diagrams are also given, on which any tumour or malposition of or- 

 gans &c., may be traced by a few strokes of the pen. There are other 

 blanks which may be used for any purpose desired.
