THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF GYX .ECOLO<; Y, for the 



use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine. In one large and very handsome octavo 

 volume of 856 pages, with 130 illustrations. Cl-.th, 5; leather, $0. (J,,st Rrnity.) 

 Dr Emmet is so widely known as among the most eminent of those who have made gynae- 

 cology a peculiarly American science that the profession cannot fail to welcome a work in which 

 he lias condensed the results of his long and extensive experience. He has sought to consider 

 the whole subject of the diseases peculiar to females in a manner which will adapt the volume, 

 not onl}' to the wants of the student as a text-book, but to those of the practitioner as an aid in 

 the emergencies of daily practice. A special feature of the work will be found in the numerous 

 condensed tables, which convey at a glance, and within the narrowest compass, the conclusions 

 to be drawn from the many thousand cases 'which have passed under the care of the author. 

 With trifling exceptions, the illustrations are all original, and the volume will be found in every 

 point of typographical execution worthy of the distinguished position which is confidently anti- 

 cipated for it. 



by our impressions of it. From first to last, each 

 page grows in interest, and one is struck with the 

 practical tone of all that is said. It is indeed the 

 gynaecological work for the practitioner. Its equal 

 is not yet published, or at least we have not seen it. 

 We cannot send this notice forward without reiter- 

 ating that, in our estimation, Emmet's Principles 

 and Practice of Gynaecology is undoubtedly thebest 

 book for the student, as well as ihe general practi- 

 tioner, which is at present published. Va. Med. 

 Monthly, May, 1S79. 



It may be said that he has had opportunities for 

 observation and experience, for unfettered and un- 

 restrained experimentation, and for testing the 

 value of the original and dazzling operations first 

 proposed and performed by his illustrious predeces- 

 sors before referred to, and for devising new opera- 

 tions and discovering pathological causes never 

 before suspected or described, which no man in the 

 profession has ever before secured. We also think 

 that the readers of this work will agree with us, 

 after its careful perusal, that he has a rare capacity 

 for discriminating analy.-i^, and generally for phi- 

 losophical deduction and the equally important 

 quality of patient, honest, continued work. For the 

 work as a whole, we have only praise. It deserves 

 and will receive* the careful study of all who desire 

 to keep on a level with the progress of Gynaecology. 

 It embodies a larger amount of carefully analyzed 

 personal experience in a unique field for observa- 

 tion than any volume on Diseases of Women which 

 has yet been published. Its great merit consists in 

 this coining as it does from a thoroughly honest, 

 competent, and able specialist, who became a spe- 

 cialist only after an <xcellent training and experi- 

 ence as a general hospital physician and surgeon. 

 The book is not one to be hastily glanced over, but 

 will secure the critical stu^y of Gynaecologists. Not 

 only its style, which is individual and somewhat 

 peculiar, but the new facts which it brings out, its 

 original suggestions, its numerous and important 

 statistical tables, and, in some instances, its unex- 

 pected deductions, will compel attention, and will 

 form the basis for a great deal of Gynecological 

 study and literature in the future. All who make 

 themselves familiar with the contents of this vol- 

 ume, will feel assured that Dr. Emmet has well 

 earned and well deserved the reputation which he 

 has already won, as one of the great Gynaecologists 

 of the pre.sant age. The. Am. Journ. of Obstetrics, 

 April, 1879. 



We have examined this book with something more 

 than ordinary care, and now lay it aside captivated 



The advent of this important work has for some 

 time been anxiously expected by all who are inter- 

 ested iu the subject of gynaecology, both here and 

 abroad. The clinics held at the Woman's Hospital, 

 and the minor writings referred to have acquired 

 for Dr. Emmet a reputation for .*kill as an operator, 

 and experience in the special branch to which he 

 has exclusively confined his attention, which is 

 probably unrivalled by any one on this continent. 

 The anticipations which have been awakened re- 

 garding the character of this extended treatise, are 

 not likely to be disappointed, if one may judge from 

 the very cursory review we have made of its con- 

 tents. New Remedies, May, 1879. 



Few have had the rare opportunities of Dr. Em- 

 met, and none have better improved that which was 

 at their disposal. Sure are we that any practi- 

 tioner of medicine, specialist, or otherwisf , who will 

 read carefully this volume, will liud that he pos- 

 sesses a clearer insight into a thousand problems 

 that have hitherto perplexed him. It is one of the 

 best original works on the diseases of women pub- 

 lished in this or any other land. We heartily com- 

 mend it to the careful study of every medical man. 

 Detrfit Lancet, May, 1879. 



We are satisfied that whoever reads the book care- 

 fully will agree with us that it i.s the best work ou 

 gynaecology that has ever been written. This is 

 high prai.-e, but we have no hesitation iu giving it.

riHADWICK (JAMES R.), A.M., M.D. 



A MANUAL OF THE DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN. In one 



neat volume, royal 12mo , with illustrations. (Preparing.) 



America has contributed so largely to the advances which have made the treatment of Dis- 

 eases of Women a distinctive department of medical science, that the student will naturally 

 turn to American Books for the latest and most trustworthy instruction on the subject in its 

 most modern aspect. Yet there has thus far been no attempt in this country to produce a handy 

 manual, presenting in a condensed and convenient form the information requisite for the learner 

 or for the general practitioner. This want it has been the effort of Dr. Chadwick to supply, and 

 the special attention which he hap devoted to the subject is a guarantee of the value of his labors. 

 A distinguishing feature of the work will be a number of diagrammatic illustrations, facilitating 

 greatly the comprehension of the text.
