RAMSBOTHAM (FRANCIS H.), M.D. 

 THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRIC MEDICINE AND 



SURGERY", in reference to the Process of Parturition. Sixth American, from the last London 



edition. Illustrated with one hundred and forty-eight Figures, on fifty-five Lithographic Plates. 



In one large and handsomely printed volume, imperial octavo, with 520 pages. 



In this edition, the plates have all been redrawn, and the text carefully read and corrected. It 

 is therefore presented as in every way worthy the favor with which it has so long been received. 

 From Prof. Hodge, of the University of Pa. 



To the American public, it is most valuable, from its intrinsic undoubted excellence, and as being 

 the best authorized exponent of British Midwifery. Its circulation will, I trust, be extensive throughout 

 our country. 



We recommend the student who desires to mas- 

 ter this difficult subject with the least possible 

 trouble, to possess himself at once of a copy of this 

 work. American Journal of the Med. Sciences. 



It stands at the head of the long list of excellent 

 obstetric works published in the last few years in 

 Great Britain, Ireland, and the Continent of Eu- 

 rope. We consider this book indispensable to the 

 library of every physician engaged in the practice 

 of midwifery. Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. 



When the whole profession is thus unanimous 

 in placing such a work in th very first rank as 

 regards the extent and correctness of all the details 

 of the theory and practice of so important a branch 

 of learning, our commendation or condemnation 

 would be of little consequence; but regarding it 

 as the most useful of all works of the kind, we 

 think it but an act of justice to urge its claims 

 upon the profession. N, O. Med. Journal.

A TREATISE ON THE VENEREAL DISEASE. By JOHN HUNTER, F. R. S. 



With copious Additions, by PH. RICORD, M. D. Edited, with Notes, by FREEMAN J. BUMSTEAD, 

 M. D. In one handsome octavo volume, with plates. 



From the Translator's Preface. 



" M. Ricord's annotations to Hunter's Treatise on the Venereal Disease were first published at 

 Paris, in 1840, in connection with Dr. G. Richelot's translation of the work, including the contri- 

 butions of Sir Everard Home and Mr. Babington. In a second edition, which has recently ap- 

 peared, M. Ricord has thoroughly revised his part of the work, bringing it up to the knowledge of 

 the present day, and so materially increasing it that it now constitutes full one-third of the volume. 



" This publication has been received with great favor by the French, both because it has placed 

 within their reach an important work of Hunter, and also because it is the only recent practical 

 work which M. Ricord has published, no edition of his Traite des Maladies Veneriennes having 

 appeared for the last fifteen years." 



Every one will recognize the attractiveness and 

 value which this work derives from thus presenting 

 the opinions of these two masters side by side. But, 

 it must be admitted, what has made the fortune of 

 the book, is the fact that it contains the " most com- 

 plete embodiment of the veritable doctrines of the 

 Hopital du Midi," which has ever been msde public. 

 The doctrinal ideas of M. Ricord, ideas which, if not 

 universally adopted, are incontestably dominant, have 

 heretofore only been interpreted by more or less skilful 

 secretaries, sometimes accredited and sometimes not. 



In the notes to Hunter, the master substitutes him- 

 self for his interpreters, and gives his original thoughts 

 to the world, in a summary form it is true, but in a 

 lucid and perfectly intelligible manner. In conclu- 

 sion we can say that this is incontestably the best 

 treatise on syphilis with which we are acquainted, 

 and, as we do not often employ the phrase, we may- 

 be excused for expressing the hope that it may find 

 a place in the library of every physician Virginia

LETTERS ON SYPHILIS, addressed to the Chief Editor of the Union Medicale. 

 With an Introduction, by Amedee Latour. Translated by W. P. Laltimore, M. D. In one neat 

 octavo volume. 



Blanchard & Lea are now the publishers of this valuable work. 



From the Translator's Preface. 



To those who have listened to the able and interesting lectures of our author at the Hopital du 

 Midi, this volume will need no commendation; while to those who have not had the pleasure to 

 which we allude, the book will commend itself by the truths it contains, told as they are in the 

 same inimitable style in which M. Ricord delivers his clinical lectures.
