XXII. The PRACTICE of PHYSIC, by W. P. 



DEWEES, M. D. Adjunct Professor of Midwifery in the University 

 of Pennsylvania, 2 vols. 8vo. 



The profession need not be informed how much a work like that now pub- 

 lished was wanted. It has been the particular object of the author to endeavour 

 to accommodate the mode of managing the diseases of which he trciis to the 

 many pathological discoveries recently made, both in this country and i it Europe; 

 and having also availed himself of Jhis long experience, he trusts that his work 

 will remove many of the embarrassments experienced by practitioners. 



XXIII. DEWEES on the DISEASES of CHIL- 

 DREN. Third edition. In 8vo. 



The objects of this work are, 1st, to teach those who have the charge of chil- 

 dren, either as parent or guardian, the most approved methods of securing and 

 improving their physical powers. This is attempted by pointing out the du- 

 ties which the parent or the guardian owes for this purpose, to this interesting, 

 but helpless class of beings, and the manner by which their duties shall be ful- 

 filled. And 2d, to render available a long experience to these objects of our af- 

 fections, when they become diseased. In attempting this, the author has avoided 

 as much as was possible, "technicality;" and has given, if he does not flatter him- 

 self too much, to each disease of which he: treats, its appropriate and designat- 

 ing characters, A\ith a fidelity that will prevent any two being confounded, to- 

 gether with the best mode of treating them, that either his own experience or 

 that of others has suggested. 



XXIV. DEWEES on the DISEASES of FEMALES. 



Second edition with additions. In Svo. 



XXV. DEWEES'S SYSTEM of MIDWIFERY. 



Fourth edition, with additions. 



XXVI. CHAPMAN'S THERA.PEUTICSandMA- 



TERIA MEDICA. Fifth edition, with additions. 



XXVII. The ATLANTIC SOUVENIR, for 1 830, in 

 elegant fancy leather binding 1 , and with numerous embellish- 

 ments by" the best Artists. 



The publishers have spared neither pains nor expepse in endeavouring to 

 render this, their fifth annual volume, still more worthy the high degree of fa- 

 vour which its predecessors have enjoyed. A II the impressions being from steel 

 render them equally perfect, and the binding being a fancy leather, the \\holu 

 will be rendered more permanent. In the list of Authors will be found many 

 of the most distinguished writers in this country. 



A few copies remain unsold of the ATLANTIC SOUVENIR, 

 a Christmas and New Year's Present for 1827, 1828, and 1829, 

 with numerous embellishments by the best Artists. 



XXVIII. A CHRONICLE of the CONQUEST of 

 GRENADA, by WASHINGTON IRVING, Esq. in 2 vols. 



On the whole, this work will sustain the high fame of Washington Irving. 

 It fills a blank in the historical library which ought not to have remained so 

 long a blank. The language throughout is at once chaste and animated; and 

 the narrative may be said, like Spencers Fairy Queen, to present one long gal- 

 lery of splendid pictures. Indeed, we know no pages from which the artist is 

 more likely to derive inspiration, nor perhaps are there many incidents in litei 

 rary history more surprising than that this antique and chivalrous story should 

 have been for the first time told worthily by the pen of an American and a WH 

 publicau."L<mdott Literary Gazette*
