Smaller Atlas of Illustrations of Clinical Surgery. By Jonathan 

 Hutchinson, LL.D., F.R.S. London: West, Newman and 

 Co. 



Mr. Jonathan Hutchinson's original Illustrations of Clinical 

 Surgery in folio size, in two volumes and in price almost prohibitive 

 has been more frequently a source of envy to those who could not 

 afford to buy it than a joy to the envied few who could afford to do so. 

 By the publication of the Smaller Atlas, a work dealing with similar 

 but not the same subjects, by reason of its modest price, the possi- 

 bility of possession is extended to the many. As in the case of 

 the larger Atlas, the series of illustrations is conducted on no 

 fixed and systematic lines ; it is merely a collection of pathological 

 curiosities, and, as Mr. Hutchinson remarks, he has selected what 

 interested himself in the hope that it would interest others. Those 

 who have attended his clinical seances and those who have examined 

 the specimens in his clinical museum and are thus familiar with his 

 presumable interests will have little doubt as to the great intrinsic value 

 of this compilation. Others who from want of time or opportunity are 

 debarred from personal attendance or examination will derive some 

 secondary fire and enthusiasm for matters pathological by an in- 

 spection of the beautiful illustrations collected in the Atlas, and 

 from reading the lucid explanatory letterpress interpolated between 

 the plates. The latter are 136 in number and mostly coloured, and 

 although chiefly illustrative of skin conditions they include many of 

 general pathological interest. Medical men who have been unable by 

 reading and clinical experience to keep themselves abreast of modern 

 pathology will find these illustrations of skin conditions especially 

 valuable. The older nomenclature has given place to a new order of 

 things, and a conservative adherence to old names for old diseases is 

 often accounted ignorance by those who have derived their learning in 

 more modern schools. 



Metals. By Huntington and McMillan. New Edition. Longmans 

 Green and Co. 7s. 6(1. 



This book is based upon the work originally compiled by the late 

 Prof. C. L. Bloxam in 1872, and re-edited and enlarged by Prof 

 Huntington in 1882. 



The present edition has been still further enlarged, and for the 

 most part brought well up to date, under the joint authorship of Prof. 

 Huntington and Mr. McMillan. In its present form, the book, 

 although not full enough to satisfy the requirements of students who 

 are taking up metallurgy as a speciality, will be found of great use to 

 the chemical student and others who are desirous of gaining a rather
