" Fashion in medical book-making seems to be running to the composite, which 

 may be advantageous and the means of producing a better book than one written by 

 an individual. It may be the old-fashioned notions of the reviewer, but he belives in 

 the old idea of one book, one author, and he should have all the responsibility, all the 

 criticism, and all the glory that attach to it. The composite is likely to be written 

 under a ' rush ' order so much space, in so much time, for so much money. The work 

 before us is the work of one individual, and the personality of that individual is evident 

 through the whole book. . . The result shows painstaking effort in every detail, 

 in conciseness of statements, in arrangement of subjects, and in the systematic order 

 and completeness in which each is considered. . . . The author is neither too 

 radical nor too conservative in his consideration of the conditions that may need radical 

 operations. In the introduction he tells us that the true gynecologist must be ' so con- 

 servative that he will sacrifice no organ whose physiologic integrity is capable of being 

 restored ; so bold and courageous that his patient shall not forfeit her opportunity for 

 life or restored health through his failure to assume the responsibility of any operative 

 procedure necessary to secure the object.' This is the basal idea that permeates the 

 book : the ultra-radical operator will find no endorsement, and the * tinkering' gynecologist 

 he who treats all diseases of women by means of a pledget of cotton and a speculum 

 no encouragement in its pages. 



"The book is one that can be recommended to the student, to the general practi- 

 tioner who must sometimes be a gynecologist to a certain extent whether he will or not 

 and to the specialist, as an ideal and in every way complete work on the gynecology of 

 to-day a practical work for practical workers/'
