SYSTEM OF SURGERY: Pathological, Diagnostic, Therapeutic, 



and Operative. Illustrated by upwards of Fourteen Hundred Engravings. Fifth edition 

 carefully revised, and improved. In two large and beautifully printed imperial octavo vol- 

 umes of about 2300 pp. , strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, $15. (Just Issued. ) 

 The continued favor, shown by the exhaustion of successive large editions of this great work, 

 proves that it has successfully supplied a want felt by American practitioners and students. In 

 th< present revision no pains have been spared by the author to bring it in every respect fully 

 up t( the day. To effect this a large part of the work has been rewritten, and the whole en- 

 arged bj nearly one-fourth, notwithstanding which the price has been kept at its former very 

 moderate rate. By the use of a close, though very legible type, an unusually large amount of 

 matter is condensed in its pages, the two volumes containing as much as four or five ordinary 

 octavos This, combined with the most careful mechanical execution, and its very durable bind 

 ing renden, it one of the cheapest works accessible to the profession. Every subject properly 

 belonging to the iomain of surgery is treated in detail, so that the student who possesses this 

 work uiayAe said to have in it a surgical library. 



We 



nv brought our task to a conclusion, and 



have seldom read a work with the practical value of 

 which we h:ive been moreimpressed. Every chapter is 

 so concisely put together, that the busy practitioner, 

 w lien in difficulty, can at once find the information he 

 requires. His work, on the contrary, is cosmopolitan, 

 the surgery of the world being fully represented in it. 

 The work, in fact, is so historically unprejudiced, and 

 so eminently practical, that it is almost a false compli- 

 ment to say that we believe it to be destined to occupy 

 a foremost place as a work of reference, while a system 

 of surgery like, the present system of surgery is the 

 practice of surgeons. The printing and binding of the 

 work is unexceptionable; indeed.it contrasts, in the 

 latter respect, remarkably with English medical and 

 surgical cloth-bound publications, which are generally 

 so wretchedly stitched as to require re- binding before 

 they are any time in use. Dub. Journ. of Med. &CJ' M 

 March, 1874, 



Dr. Gross's Surgery, a great work, has become still 

 greater, botli in size and merit, in its most recent form. 

 The difference in actual number of pages is not more 

 than 130, but. the size of the page having been in- 

 creased to what we believe is technically termed ele- 

 phant." there has been roomforconsiderableadditicv.s. 

 which, together with the alterations, are improve- 

 ments. iowrf. Lancet, Nov. 16. 1872. 



It combines, as perfectly as possible, the qualities of 

 a text-book and work of reference. We think this last 



e-lition of Gross's "Surgery," will confirm his title of 

 ' Primus inter Parts" it is learned, -scholar-like, me- 

 thodical, precise, and exhaustive. We scarcely think 

 any living man could write so complete and faultless a 

 treatise, or comprehend more solid, instructive matter 

 in the given number of pages. The labor must have 

 been immense, and the work gives evidence of great 

 powers of mind, and the highest order of intellectual 

 discipline and methodical disposition, and arrangement 

 of acquired knowledge and personal experience. JV.1".

As a whole, we regard the work as the representative 

 "System of Surgery" in the English language. St. 

 Louis Medical and Surg. Journ., Oct. 1872. 



The two magnificent volumes before us afford a very 

 complete view of the surgical knowledge of the day. 

 Some years ago we had the pleasure of presenting the 

 first edition of Gross's Surgery to the profession as a 

 work of unrivalled excellence; and now we have the 

 result of years of experience, labor,and study, all con- 

 densed upon the great work before us. And to students 

 or practitioners desirousof enriching theirlihrary with 

 a treasure of reference, we can simply commend the 

 purchase of these two volumes of immense research
