The medical profession has now the opportunity 

 of iuMiug to their stock of standard medical works 

 one of the best volumes on midwifery ever pub- 

 lished. The subject is taken up with a master 



niD| 



hand. The part devoted to labor in all its various 

 presentations, the management and results, is ad- 

 miniMy arranged, and the views entertained will 

 be found essentially modern, and the opinions ex- 

 pressed trustworthy. The work abounds with 

 plates, illustrating various obstetrical positions ; 

 they are admirably wrought, and afford great 

 assistance to the student. N. O. Medical and Sur- 

 gical Journal, March, 1880. 



If inquired of by a medical student what work 

 on obstetrics we should recommend for him, par 

 excellence, we would undoubtedly advise him to 



choose Playfair's. It is of convenient size, but 

 what is of chief importance, its treatment of the 

 various subjects is concise and plain. While the 

 discussions and descriptions are sufficiently elabo- 

 rate to render a very intelligible idea of them, yet 

 all details not necessary for a full understanding 

 of the subject are omitted. Cincinnati Medical 

 News, Jan. 1880. 



It certainly is an admirable exposition of the 

 science and practice of midwifery. Of course the 

 additions made by the American editor, Dr. R. P. 

 Harris, who never utters an idle word, and whose 

 studious researches in some special departments 

 of obstetrics are so well known to the profession, 

 are of great value. The American Practitioner, 

 April, 1880. 



KING, A. F. A., M. D., 



Pi-nfi'Kxor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women in the Medical Department of the Columbian Univer- 

 sity, Washington, D. C., and in the University of Vermont, etc. 



A Manual of Obstetrics. In one very handsome 12mo. volume of 321 pages, 

 with 58 illustrations. Cloth, $2. 



Though the book appears small externally, it 

 contains as complete a consideration of obstetric 

 subjects as many larger volumes, and this is 

 chiefly owing to a directness of expression, and an 

 avoidance of repetition and of waste of words. 

 The author endeavors to pla?e theories, causes of 

 disease and methods of treatment in that order 

 which, by weight of authority, they merit. His 

 excellent judgment has availed him well in this 

 effort. While, in one sense, the book is an excel- 



lent obstetric dictionary, and well suited to the stu- 

 dent, it is also of value to the general practitioner, 

 who often desires to find a resume of information 

 upon a given subject. It will be of further value 

 to the latter, as, in our opinion, the author holds 

 most sensible views on practical matters. The 

 book is admirably arranged for reference, being 

 well paragraphed, with suitable sub-divisions, and 

 well indexed. American Journal of Obstetrics. Aug. 

 1882.
