* Surgeon to Guy's Hospital. 



THE PRACTICE OF SURGERY. With over Five Hundred En- 



gravings on Wood. In one large and very handsome octavo volume of nearly 1000 pages, 

 cloth, $6 25 ; leather, raised bands, $7 25. (Lately Pubiisked.) 



Again, the author gives us his own practice, his 

 own beliefs, and illustrates by his own cases, or those 

 treated in Guy's Hospital. This feature adds joint 

 emphasis, and a solidity to his statements that inspire 

 confidence. One feels himself almost by the side of 

 the surgeon, seeing his work aud hearing his living 

 words. The views, etc., of other surgeons are con- 

 sidered calmly and fairly, but Mr. Bryant's are 

 adopted. Thus the work is not a compilation of 

 other writings; it is not an encyclopaedia, but the 

 plain statements, on practical points, of a man who 

 has lived and breathed and had his being in the 

 richest surgical experience. The whole profession 

 owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Bryant, for his work 

 in their behalf. We are confident that the American 

 profession will give substantial testimonial of their 

 feelings towards both author and publisher, by 

 speedily exhausting this edition. We cordially and 

 heartily commend it to our friends, aud think that 

 no live'surgeou can afford to be without it Detroit 

 Review of Med. and Pharmacy, August, 1873. 



As a manual of the practice of surgery for the use 

 of the student, we do not hesitate to pronounce Mr. 

 Bryant's book a first-rate work. Mr. Bryant has a 

 g'.,,d deal of the dogmatic energy which goes with 

 die clear, pronounced opinions of a man whose re- 

 flections aud experience have moulded a character 

 uot wanting in firmness aud decision. At the same 

 time he teaches withythe enthusiasm of one who has 

 faith in his teaching ;\he speaks as one having au- 

 thority, and herein lies the charm and excellence of 

 his work. He states the opinions of others freely 



and fairly, yet it is no mere compilation. The book 

 combines much of the merit of the manual with the 

 merit of the monograph. One may recognize in 

 almost every chapter of the ninety-four of which the 

 work is made up the acuteness of a surgeon who has 

 seen much, and observed closely, and who gives forth 

 the results of actual experience. In conclusion we 

 repeat what we stated at first, that Mr. Bryant's book 

 is one which we can conscientiously recommend both 

 to practitioners and students as an admirable work. 

 Dublin Journ. of Med. Science, August, 1873. 



Mr. Bryant has long been known to the reading 

 portion of the profession as an able, clear, and graphic 

 writer upon surgical subjects. The volume before 

 us is one eminently upon the practice of surgery and 

 not one which treats at length on surgical pathology, 

 though the views that are entertained upon tnis sub- 

 ject are sufficiently interspersed through the work 

 for all practical purposes. As a text-book we cheer- 

 fully recommend it, feeling convinced that, from the 

 subject-matter, and the concise and true way Mr. 

 Bryant deals with his subject, it will prove a for- 

 midable rival among the numerous surgical text- 

 books which are offered to the student. N. Y. Med. 

 Record, June, 1S73. 



This is, as the preface states, an entirely new book, 

 and contains in a moderately condensed form all the 

 surgical information necessary to a general practi- 

 tioner. It is written in a spirit consistent with the 

 present improved standard of medical and surgical 

 science. American Journal of Obstetrics, August, 

 1873. 



\XTELL8 (J. SOELBERG), 



Professor of Ophthalmology in King's College Hospital, &c. 



A TREATISE ON DISEASES OF THE EYE. Second American, 



from the Third and Revised Lpndon Edition, with additions; illustrated with numerous 

 engravings on wood, and six colored plates. Together with selections from the Test-types 

 of Jaeger and Snellen. In one large and very handsome octavo volume of nearly 800 

 pages ; cloth, $5 00 ; leather, $6 00. (Lately Published.) 



The continued demand for this work, both iu England and this country, is sufficient evidence 

 that the author has succeeded in his effort to supply within a reasonable compass n full practical 

 digest of ophthalmology in its most modern aspects, while the call for repeated editions has en- 

 abled him in his revisions to maintain its position abreast of the most recent investigations and 

 improvements. In again reprinting it, every effort has been made to adapt it thoroughly to the 

 wants of the American practitioner. Such additions as seemed desirable have been introduced 

 by the editor, Dr. I. Minis Hays, and the number of illustrations has been largely increased. The 

 importance of test-types as an aid to diagnosis is so universally acknowledged at the present day 

 that it seemed essential to the completeness of the work that they should be added, and as the 

 author recommends the use of those both of Jaeger and of Snellen for different purposes, selec- 

 tions have been made from each, so that the practitioner may have at command all the assist- 

 ance necessary. Although enlarged by one hundred pages, it has been retained at the former 

 very moderate price, rendering it one of the cheapest volumes before the profession. 

 A few notices of the previous edition are subjoined. 



On examining it carefully, one is not at all sur- lucid and flowing, therein differing materially from 

 priced that it should meet with universal favor. It \ some of the translations of Continental writers on this

 tice of the leading oculists of Europe and America, 

 a u d giving the author's own opinions aud preferences, 

 which are quite decided and worthy of high consid- 

 eration. The third English edition, from which this 

 i.-j taken, having been revised by the author, com- 

 prises a notice of all the more recent advances made 

 in ophthalmic science. The style of the writer is 



subject that are in the market. Special paius are 

 taken to explain, at length, those subjects which are 

 particularly difficult of comprehension to the begin- 

 ner, as the use of the ophthalmoscope, the interpre- 

 tation of its images, etc. The book is profusely and 

 ably illustrated, and at the end are to be found 16 

 excellent colored ophthalmoscopic figures, which are 

 copies of some of the plates of Liebreich's admirable 

 atlas. Kansas City Med. Journ., June, 1874.

For those, however, who must assume the care of 

 diseases and injuries of the eye, and who are too 

 much pressed for time to study the classic works on 

 the subject, or those recently published by Stellwag, 

 Wells, Bader, aud others, Mr. Laurence will prove a 

 safe and trustworthy guide. He has described in thib 



editiou those novelties which have secured the confi- 

 dence of the profession since the appearance of his 

 last. The volume has been considerably enlarged 

 and improved by the revision and additions of its 

 author, expressly for the American edition. Am.
