"'Dr. Hardwicke's book will prove a valuable source of information 

 to those who may desire to know the conditions upon which medical 

 practice is or may be pursued in any or every country of the world, 

 even to the remotest corners of the earth. The work has been com- 

 piled with great care, and must have required a vast amount of labour 

 and perseverance on the part of its author." Dublin Medical Journal. 



" This work supplies a want long- felt... .The chief value of Dr. Hard- 

 wicke's volume, to students, is in the information he gives concerning

 the provisions of the new Medical A.ct so clamorously demanded in 

 England, and of the Act to which we are about to commit ourselves 

 here/' Australian Medical Journal.

 devoted to the United States opens with the Philadelphia Record's full 

 account of the bogus traffic in that city. The position assigned to this 

 narrative is, perhaps, unnecessarily prominent, but we do not think the 

 exposure of those vile practices can be too minute or widely circulated. 

 This diploma traffic, whether carried on in Pennsylvania, New York, 

 or Massachusetts, was and is a disgrace to us, and we may as well

" The want of such a book has been long felt by all who take any 

 interest in medical education, and is specially needed at the present 

 time, when the attention of our government has been called to certain 

 abuses, and it is about to introduce reforms. The book is a most ex- 

 haustive one, and deserving the attention of all who are in any way
