ASHHURST (JOHN, Jr.), M.D., 



Surgeon to the Episcopal Hospital, Philadelphia. 



THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF SURGERY. In one 



very Large and handsome octavo volume of about 1000 pages, with nearly 550 illustrations, 

 cloth, $6 50; leather, raised bands, $7 50. (Lately Published.) 



The object of the author has been to present, within as condensed a compass as possible, a 

 complete treatise on Surgery in all its branches, suitable both as a text-book for the student and 

 a work of reference for the practitioner. So much has of late years been done for the advance- 

 ment of Surgical Art and Science, that there seemed to be a want of a work which should present 

 the latest aspects of every subject, and which, by its American character, should render accessible 

 to the profession at large the experience of the practitioners of both hemispheres. This has been 

 the aim of the author, and it is hoped that the volume will be found to fulfil its purpose satisfac- 

 torily. The plan and general outline of the work will be seen by the annexed

Its author has evidently tested the writings and 

 experiences of the past and present in the crucible 

 of a careful, analytic, and honorable mind, and faith- 

 fully endeavored to bring his work up to the level of 

 the highest standard of practical surgery. He is 

 frank and definite, and gives us opinions, and gene- 

 rally sound ones, instead of a mere resume of the 

 opinions of others. He is conservative, but not hide- 

 bound by authority. His style is clear, elegant, and 

 scholarly. The work is an admirable tex-tbook, and 

 a useful book of reference It is a credit to American 

 professional literature, and one of the first ripe fruits 

 of the soil fertilized by the blood of our late unhappy 

 war. N. Y. Med. Record, Feb. 1, 1872. 



Indeed, the work as a whole must be regarded as 

 an excellent and concise exponent of modern sur- 

 gery, and as such it will be found a valuable text- 

 book for the student, and a useful book of reference 

 for the general practitioner. N. Y. Med. Journal, 

 Feb. 1872. 



It gives us great pleasure to call the attention of the 

 profession to this excellent work. Our knowledge of 

 its talented and accomplished author led us to expect 

 from him a very valuable treatise upon subjects to 

 which he has repeatedly given evidence of having pro- 

 fitably devoted much time and labor, and we are in no 

 way disappointed. Phila. Med. Times, Feb. 1, 1872.

THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF SURGERY. Edited by 



JOHN NEILL, M. D., Professor of Surgery in the Penna. Medical College, Surgeon to the 

 Pennsylvania Hospital, &c. In one very handsome octavo volume of 780 pages, with 316 

 illustrations, cloth, $3 75. 



TJAMILTON (FRANK H.}, M.D., 



Professor of Fractures and Dislocations, &c., in Bellevue Hosp. Med. College, New York. 



A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON FRACTURES AND DISLOCA- 

 TIONS. Fourth edition, thoroughly revised. In one large and handsome octavo volume 

 of nearly 800 pages, with several hundred illustrations. Cloth, $5 75; leather, $6 75. 



It is not, of course, our intention to review in ex- 

 Censo, Hamilton on "Fractures and Dislocations." 

 Eleven years ago such review might not have been 

 out of place ; to-day the work is an authority, so well, 

 so generally, and so favorably known, that it only 

 remains for the reviewer to say that a new edition is 

 just out, and it is better than either of its predeces- 

 sors. Cincinnati Clinic, Oct. 14, 1871. 



Undoubtedly the best work on Fractures and Dis- 

 locations in the English language. Cincinnati Med. 

 Repertory, Oct. 1871. 



We have once more before us Dr. .Hamilton's admi- 



rable treatise, which we have always considered the 

 most complete and reliable work on the subject. As 

 a, whole, the work is without an equal in the litera- 

 ture of the profession. Boston Med. and Surg. 

 Journ., Oct. 12, 1871. 



It is unnecessary at this time to commend the book, 

 except to such as are beginners in the study of this 

 particular branch of surgery. Every practical sur- 

 geon in this country and abroad knows of it as a most 

 trustworthy guide, and one which they, in common 

 with us, would unqualifiedly recommend as the high- 

 est authority in any language.^. Y. Med. Record, 

 Oct. 16, 1871.
