NEW AND IMPORTANT WORK ON PRACTICAL SURGERY,-(JUST ISSUED,) 



OPERATIVE SURGERY. 



BY FREDERICK C. SKBY, F. R. S., &c. 



In one very handsome octavo volume of over 650 pages, with about one hundred wood-cuts. 

 The object of the author, in the preparation of this work, has been not merely to furnish the 

 student with a guide to the actual processes of operation, embracing the practical rules required 

 to justify an appeal to the knife, but also to present a manual embodying such principles as might 

 render it a permanent work of reference to the practitioner of operative surgery, who seeks to 

 uphold the character of his profession as a science as well as an art. In its composition he has 

 relied mainly on his own experience, acquired during many years' service at one of the largest of 

 the London hospitals, and has rarely appealed to other authorities, except so far as personal inter- 

 course and a general acquaintance with the most eminent members of the surgical profession 

 have induced him to quote their opinions. 



From Professor C. B. Gibson, Richmond, Virginia. 



I have examined the work with some care, and am delighted with it. The style is admirable, ihe matter 

 excellent, and much of it original and deeply interesting, whilst the illustrations are numerous and belter 

 executed than those of any similar work I possess. 



In conclusion we must express our unqualified praise of the work as a whole. The high moral tone, the 

 liberal views, and the sound information which pervades it throughout, reflect the highest credit upon the 

 talented author. We know of no one who has succeeded, whilst supporting operative surgery in its proper 

 rank, in promulgating at the same time sounder and more enlightened views upon that most important of 

 all subjects, the principle that should guide us in having recourse to the knife. Medical Times. 



The treatise is, indeed, one on operative surgery, but it is one in which the author throughout shows that 

 he is most anxious to place operative surgery in iis just position. He has acted as a judicious, but not 

 partial friend; and while he shows throughout that he is able and ready to perform any operation which the 

 exigencies and casualties of the human frame may require, he is most cautious in specifying the circum- 

 stances which in each case indicate and contraindicate operation. It is indeed gratifying to perceive the 

 sound and correct views which Mr. Skey entertains on the subject of operations in general, and the gentle- 

 manly tone in which he impresses on readers the lessons which he is desirous to inculcate. His work is a 

 perfect model for the operating surgeon, who will learn from it not only when and how to operate, but some 

 more noble and exalted lessons which cannot fail to improve him as a moral and social agent. Edinburgh

BY F. W. SARGENT, M. D. 



In one handsome royal 12mo. volume of nearly 400 pages, with 128 wood-cuts. 



From Professor Gilbert, Philadelphia. 



Embracing the smaller details of surgery, which are illustrated by very accurate engravings, the work 

 becomes one of very great importance to the practitioner in the performance of his daily duties, since such 

 information is rarely found in the general works on surgery now in use.
