PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRICS. In one large quarto 



volume, with one hundred and fifty-eight figures on thirty-two beautifully executed lithographic 



plates, and numerous wood-cuts in the text. (In Press.) 



This? work, embodying the results of an extensive practice for more than forty years, cannot fail 

 to prove of the utmost value to all who are engaged in this department of medicine. The author's 

 position as one of the highest authorities on the subject in this country is well known, and the fruit 

 of his ripe experience and long observation, carefully matured and elaborated, must serve as an 

 invaluable text-book for the student and an unfailing counsel for the practitioner in the emergencies 

 which so frequently arise in obstetric practice. 



The illustrations will form a novel feature in the work. The lithographic plates are all original, 

 and to insure their absolute accuracy they have all been copied from photographs taken expressly 

 for the purpose. In ordinary obstetrical plates, the positions of the fcetus are represented by dia- 

 grams or sections of the patient, which are of course purely imaginary, and their correctness is 

 scarcely more than a matter of chance with the artist. Their beauty as pictures is thereby increased 

 without corresponding utility to the student, as in practice he must" for the most part depend for his 

 diagnosis upon the relative positions of the foetal skull and the pelvic bones of the mother. It is, 

 therefore, desirable that the points upon which he is in future to rely, should form the basis of his 

 instruction, and consequently in the preparation of these illustrations the skeleton has alone been 

 used, and the aid of photography invoked, by which a series of representations has been secured of 

 the strictest and most rigid accuracy. It is easy to recognize the value thus added to the very full 

 details on the subject of the MECHANISM OF LABOUR with which the work abounds 



It may be added that no pains or expense will be spared to render the mechanical execution of the 

 volume worthy in every respect of the character and value of the teachings it contains.

THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OPHTHALMIC MEDICINE 



AND SURGERY. With one hundred and seventeen illustrations. Third and revised Ameri- 

 can, with additions from the secono London edition. In one handsome octavo volume, extra 

 cloth, of 455 pages. $3 00. 



Seven, years having elapsed since the appearance of the last edition of this standard work, very 

 considerable additions have been found necessary to adapt it thoroughly to the advance of ophthal- 

 mic science. The introduction of the ophthalmoscope has resulted in adding greatly to our know- 

 ledge of the pathology of the diseases of the eye, particularly of its more deeply seated tissues, and 

 corresponding improvements in medical treatment and operative procedures have been introduced. 

 All these matters the editor has endeavoured to add, bearing in mind the character of the volume as a 

 condensed and practical manual. To accommodate this unavoidable increase in the size of the work, 

 its form Mas been changed from a duodecimo to an octavo, and it is presented as worthy a continu- 

 ance of the favour which has been bestowed on former editions. 



A complete series of "test-types" for examining the accommodating power of the eye, will be 

 found an important and useful addition.
