Taft's Practical Treatise on Operative Den- 

 tistry. A NEW EDITION, THOROUGHLY REVISED. 



By Jonathan Taft, D.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry in the Ohio 

 College of Dental Surgery, &c. The Second Edition, thoroughly Revised, 

 with additions, and fully brought up to the present state of the Science. 

 Containing over 100 Illustrations. Octavo. Leather, . . $4.50 



The fii'st edition of Dr. Taft's work imparted a new impulse to the practice of Oper- 

 ative Dentistry. In the early days of the profession, excellence, as an operator, was 

 attainable only by long years of industrious practice. Now, many of the best opera- 

 tors are found among those comparatively young; and perhaps no single agency has 

 done more to ptoduce this result than this volume of Professor Taft in systematically 

 and clearly setting forth the attained truths of our science in such a way as to be acces 

 sible to all. 



The second edition contains nearly fifty additional pages of matter, and the whole 

 work is carefully revised, with a labor but little, if anj', short of the preparation of an 

 entirely new volume. — Denial Register 



The first edition of this "Practical Treatise on Operative Dentistry," by Prof. Taft, 

 published in 1859, has become very familiar to the dental practitioner and student, and 

 its value universally acknowledged. It is with pleasure, therefore, that we note the 

 issue of a revised edition, which the author's industry has made still more worthy of 

 professional attention. — American Journal of Denial Science. 



Professor Taft has done good service to the profession in thus embodying, in a sep- 

 arate volume, a comprehensive view of Operative Dentistry. This gentleman's position 

 as a teacher must have rendered liim familiar with the most recent views which are 

 entertained in Anierici on this matter, wliile his extensive experience and well-earned 

 reputation in practice must have rendered him a competent judge of their merits. We 

 willingly commend Prof. Taft's able and useful work to the notice of the profession. —

Richardson's Practical Treatise on Mechani 



Cal JJentlStry. second edition, much enlarged. 



By Joseph Richardson, D.D.S., Professor of Mechanical Dentistry in 

 the Ohio College of Dental Surgery, &g. With over 150 heautifxdly exe- 

 cuted Illustrations. Octavo. Leather ..... $4.50 



When the first edition of this work made its appearance, we gave a favorable notice 

 of it. It is only necessary now to add that the second contains all the improvements 

 in this department of Dentistry' of the past ten years. Many additions have been made 

 and other parts have been entirely re-written. — Dental Cosmos. 



Dr. Richardson's work is justly regarded as indispensable to the dentist. Rejecting 

 all th.'it is useless, and conveying his ideas without the verbiage in which too many 

 encumber their thoughts, he lias given to us a concise statement of what is to be done 

 by the mechanical dentist, and how to do it. — Denial Lahoralory. 



Prof. Richardson is thoroughly and minutely acquainted with every topic he attempts 

 to discuss, both in theory and practice. He exhibits a knowledge of the hidden nooks 

 and corners of the dental laboratory quite refreshing, in view of the superficial treat- 

 ment the subject has usually received. He selects one great and important branch of 

 dental science, and exhausts it, placing it in such plain and practical form so that every 

 student sees and understands its merits at a glance. — N. Y. Denial Journal. 



This work does infinite credit to its author. Its comprehensive style has in no way 

 interfered with most elaborate details where this is necessary; and the numerous and 

 beautifully executed wood-cuts with which it is illustrated render this volume as at- 

 tractive as its instructions are easily understood. — Edinburgh Med. Journal. 



After a careful perusal, we have no hesitation in commending the book to our readers 

 as a good practical work, the illustrations of which greatly surpass, so far as we are 

 aware, any other American work on the subject. — London Lancet. 



The scope of the whole work is thoroughly carried out, and to any one desiring a 

 theoretical knowledge of Dental Mechanics, Dr. Richardson's book will be found a 

 most efficient guide. — British and Foreign Medico-Chirurg. Review.
