 Cantab., 



Emeritus Professor of Surgery in the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia. 



A System of Surgery : Pathological, Diagnostic, Therapeutic and Operative. 

 Sixth edition, greatly enlarged and thoroughly revised by the Author and SAMUEL W. 

 GROSS, A. M., M. D., Professor of the Principles of Surgery and of Clinical Surgery in the 

 Jefferson Medical College. In two large and beautifully-printed imperial octavo volumes 

 containing 2382 pages, illustrated by 1623 engravings. Strongly bound in leather, raised

In the present issue he has, in addition to his 

 own great work, called to his aid Prof. S. \V. Gross, 



The work as a whole needs no commendation. 

 Many years ago it earned for itself the enviable rep- 

 utation of the leading American work on surgery, 

 and it is still capable of maintaining that standard. 

 The reason for this need only be mentioned to be 

 appreciated. The author has always been calm 

 and judicious in his statements, has based his con- 

 clusions on much study and personal experience, 

 has been able to grasp his subject in its entirety, 

 and, above all, nas conscientiously adhered to 

 truth and fact, weighing the evidence, pro and 

 eon, accordingly. A considerable amount of new 

 material has been introduced, and altogether the 

 distinguished author has reason to be satisfied 

 that he lias placed the work fully abreast of the 

 state of our knowledge. Med. Record, Nov. 18, 1882. 



We have purposely abstained from comment or 

 criticism of the book before us. It has formerly 

 been noticed more than once in our columns, and it 

 is enough now to remark that the present edition 

 fully maintains the reputation the work has ac- 

 quired. Though Professor Gross' book is the out- 

 come of Ids college lectures, the several parts have 

 been extended, elaborated and amplified, till it 

 has become a complete and systematic book of 

 reference alike for the student and the practi- 

 tioner. The London Lancet, Jan. 27, 1883.

 Burnett, William Thomson, Edward C. Seguin, 

 Robert Battey, Lewis H. Sayre, Richard J. I)un- 

 glison, and Surgeon-General Barnes, U. S. A. The 

 author has conscientiously revised every page of 

 the fifth edition, and in doing so has found it 

 necessary to rewrite nearly every chapter, noting 

 the extraordinary strides which surgery has made 

 during the past fifty years. Cincinnati Lancet and 

 Clinic, Nov. 11, 1882. 



We regard Gross' System of Surgery not only as 

 a singularly rich storehouse of scientific -informa- 

 tion, but as marking an epoch in the literary his- 

 tory of surgery. The present edition has received 

 the most careful revision at the hands of the emi- 

 nent author himself, assisted in various instances 

 by able specialists in various branches. All depart- 

 ments of the vast and ever-increasing literature of 

 the science have been drawn upon for their most 

 recent expressions. The late advances made in 

 surgical practice have been carefully noted, such 

 as the recent developments of Listerism and the 

 improvements in gynsecological operations. In 

 every respect the work reflects lasting credit on 

 American medical literature. Medical and Surgical 

 Reporter. Nov. 11, 1882.

Dr. Ashhurst's Surgery is a condensed treatise i " a condensed but comprehensive description pt 

 covering the whole domain of the science in one ! the modes of practice now generally employed in 

 manageable volume. The present edition has had the treatment of surgical affections, with a plain 

 a thorough revision. The novelties in surgical exposition of the principles upon which these 

 practice and the recent observations in surgical modes of practice are based." In this 'he has so 

 science have been incorporated, but the size of the well succeeded that it will be a surprise to the 

 volume has not been materially increased. The reader to know how much practical knowledge ex- 

 author's arrangement is perspicuous, and his tending over such a wide range of research is corn- 

 language correct and clear. An excellent index j pressed in a volume of this size. This feature ol 

 closes the work, and on the whole we consider it the work must be its best claim for continued 

 the best system of surgery in one volume which ' popularity with students and practitioners. In 

 could be named as the product of an American fact, in this respect it is without an equal in any 

 author. Medical and Surgical Reporter, Oct. 28, '82. language. In the present edition many novelties 



The author, long known as a thorough student in surgical practice are introduced, many modifi-
