THE SCIENCE AND ART OF SURGERY; being a Treatise on Sur- 

 gical Injuries, Diseases, and Operations. Carefully revised by the author from the 



. Seventh and enlarged English Edition. Illustrated by eight hundred and sixty two en- 

 gravings on wood. It two large and beautiful octavo volumes of nearly 20WO pages: 

 cloth, $8 50 ; leather, $10 50 (Now Ready.) 



In revising this standard work the author has spared no pains to render it worthy ofacontinu- 

 ance of the very marked favor which it has so long enjoyed, by bringing it thoroughly on a 

 level with the advance in the science and art of surgery made since the appearance of the 

 last edition. To accomplish this has required the addition of about two hundred page of text, 

 while the illustrations have undergone a marked improvement. A hundred and fifty additional 

 wood-cuts have been inserted, while about fifty other new ones have been substituted for figures 

 which were not deemed satisfactory. In its enlarged and improved form it is therefore pre- 

 sented with the confident anticipation that it will maintain its position in the front rank of 

 text-books for the student, and of works of reference for the practitioner, while its exceedingly 

 moderate price places it within the reach of all. 



The seventh edition is before the world as the last 

 \winl .'! niirgical tcieuce. There may be monographs 

 which excel it -up >n certain points, but as a con- 

 spectus upon surgical principles aud practice it is 

 unrivalled. It will well reward practitioners to 

 read it, for it has been a peculiar province of Mr. 

 Erichsen to demonstrate the absolute interdepend- 

 ence of medical and surgical science We need 

 scarcely add, in conclusion, that wo heartily com- 

 mend the work to students that they may be 

 grounded in a sound faith, aud to practitioners as 

 an invaluable guide at the bedside. Am Practi- 

 tioner, April, 1878. 



It is no i lie compliment to say that this is the best 

 edition Mr. Erichsen has ever produced of his well- 

 kuowu book. Besides inheriting the virtues of i's 

 predecessors, it possesses excellences quite its own. 

 Having stated that Mr. Erichsen his incorporated 

 into this edition every recent improvement in the 

 science and art of surgery, it would be a supereroga- 

 tion to give a detailed criticism. In short, we un- 

 hesitatiugly aver th-it we know of no other single 

 work where the student and practitioner can gain at 

 oucesoclear an insight iuto the principles of surgery, 

 and so complete a knowledge of the exigencies of 

 surgical practice. -London Lancet, Feb. 14, 1878 



For the past twenty years Erichsen's Surgery has 

 maintained its place as the leading text- book, not only 

 in this country, but in Great Britain. That it is able 

 to hold its ground, is abundantly proven by the tho- 

 roughueoswit.h which the present edition has been 

 revised, and by the large amount of valuable mate- 

 rial that has been added. Aside from this, c ne hun- 

 dred and fifty new illustrations have been inserted, 

 including quite a number of microscopical appear- 

 ances of path"! ,gical processes. -So marked is this 

 change for the better, that the work almost appears 

 as an entirely new one. Med. Record, Feb. 23,1878. 



Of the many treatises on Surgery which it has been 

 our task to study, or our pleasure to read, there is none 

 which iu all points has satisfied us HO well as tlu classic 

 treatise of Krichsen. His polished, clear style, his free- 

 dom from prejudice and hobbies, his unsurpassed grasp 

 of his subject, and vast clinical experience, qualify him 

 admirably to write a model text-book. When we wish, 

 at the least cost of time, to learn the most of a topic iu 

 j surgery, we turn, by preference, to his work. It is a 

 j pleasure, therefore, to see that the appreciation of it is 

 I general, and has led to the appearance of another edi- 

 tion. Me.d. and Surg. Reporter, Feb. 2, 1378. 



Notwithstanding the increase in size, we observe that 

 much old matter has been omitted. The entire work 

 has been thoroughly written up, and not merely amend- 

 ed by a few extra chapters A great improvement has 

 been made in the illustrations. One hundred and fifty 

 new ones have beeu added, and many of the old ones 

 have been redrawn The author highly appreciates the 

 favor wilh which his work has been~received by Ameri- 

 can surgeons, and has endeavored to render bis latest 

 edition more than ever worthy of their approval. That 

 he has succeeded admirably, must, we think, be the 

 general opinion. We heartily recommend the book to 

 both student and practitioner. A". Y. Med. Journal. 

 Feb. 1878. 



Erichsen has stood so prominently forward for 

 years as a writer on Surgery, that his reputation is 

 world wide, and his name is as familiar to the med- 

 ical student as to the accomplished and experienced 

 surgeon. The work is not a reprint of fornu-r edi- 

 tions, but has in many places been entirely rewrit- 

 ten. Recent improvements in surgery have not es- 

 caped his notice, various new operations, have been 

 thoroughly analyzed, aud their merits thoroughly 

 discussed. One hundred and fifty new wood-cuts 

 add to the value of this work. N. O. Med. and Surg. 

 Journal, March, 1878.

SURGERY, ITS PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE. In one hand- 

 some octavo volume of nearly 1000 pages, with 411 illustrations. Cloth, $6; leather, $7. 

 (Just Issued.} 



This is a work which has been looked for on both 

 si.ies ofthe Atlantic with much interest. Mr. Holmes 

 is a Burgeon of large and varied experience, and one 

 of the bent known, and perhaps the most brilliant 

 writer upon surgical subjects in England. It is a 

 book for students and an admirable one and for 

 the busy general practitioner. It will give a student 

 all the knowledge needed to pass a rigid examina- 

 tion. The book fairly juHtifiesthe high expectations 

 that were formed of it. Its style is clear aud forcible, 

 even brilliant at times, and the conciseness needed 

 to bringitwithinitsproperlimitshas uotimpaired 



its force and distinctness.^. Y. Med. Record, April 

 14, 1876. 



It will be found a most excellent epitome of sur- 

 gery by the general practitioner who has not the 

 time to give attention to more minute and extended 

 worksand to the rnedicalstudent. In fact, we know 

 of no one we can more cordially recommend. The 

 author has succeeded well in giving a plain and 

 practical account of each surgical injury and dis- 

 ease, and of the treatment which is most com- 

 monly advisable. It will no doubt become a popu- 

 lar work in the profession, and especially as a text- 

 book. Cincinnati Med. News, April, 1876.
