New and much enlarged edition. 



WATSON (THOMAS), M. D., &c., 



Late Physician to the Middlesex Hospital, &c. 



LECTURES ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PHYSIC. 



Delivered at King's College, London. A new American, from the last revised and enlarged 



English edition, with Additions, by D. FRANCIS CONDIE, M. D., author of " A Practical Treatise 



on the Diseases of Children," &c. With one hundred and eighty.five illustrations on wood. In 



one very large and handsome volume, imperial octavo, of over 1200 closely printed pages in 



small type; extra cloth, $4 75; strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, $5 50. 



That the bigh reputation of this work might be fully maintained, the author has subjected it to a 



thorough revision ; every portion has been examined with the aid of the most recent researches 



in pathology, and the results of modern investigations in both theoretical and practical subjects 



have been carefully weighed and embodied throughout its pages. The watchful scrutiny of the 



editor has likewise introduced whatever possesses immediate importance to the American physician 



in relation to diseases incident to our climate which are little known in England, as well as those 



points in which experience here has led to different modes of practice ; and he has also added largely 



to the series of illustrations, believing that in this manner valuable assistance may be conveyed to 



the student in elucidating the text. The work will, therefore, be found thoroughly on a level with 



the most advanced state of medical science on both sides of the Atlantic. 



The additions which the work has received are shown by the fact that notwithstanding an en- 

 largement in the size of the page, more than two hundred additional pages have been necessary 

 to accommodate the two large volumes of the London edition (which sells at ten dollars), within 

 the compass of a single volume, and in its present form it contains the matter of at least three 

 ordinary octavos. Believing it to be a work which should lie on the table of every physician, and 

 be in the hands of every student, the publishers have put it at a price within the reach of all, making- 

 it one of the cheapest books as yet presented to the American profession, while at the same time 

 the beauty of its mechanical execution renders it an exceedingly attractive volume. 



The fourth edition now appears, so carefully re- 

 vised, as to add considerably to the value of a book 

 already acknowledged, wherever the English lan- 

 guage is read, to be beyond all comparison the best 

 systematic work on the Principles and Practice of 

 Physic in the whole range of medical literature. 

 Every lecture contains proof of the extreme anxiety 

 of the author to keep pace with the advancing know- 

 ledge of the day One scarcely knows whether 

 to admire most the pure, simple, forcible English 

 the vast amount of useful practical information 

 condensed into the Lectures or the manly, kind- 

 hearted, unassuming character of the lecturer shin- 

 ing through his work. Land. Med. Times. 



Thus these admirable volumes come before the 

 profession in their fourth edition, abounding in those 

 distinguished attributes of moderation, judgment, 

 erudite cultivation, clearness, and eloquence, with 

 which they were from the first invested, but yet 

 richer than before in the results of more prolonged 

 observation, and in the able appreciation of the 



latest advances in 



pathology

and medicine by one 



of the most profound medical thinkers of the day.

The lecturer's skill, his wisdom, his learning, are 

 equalled by the ease of his graceful diction, his elo- 

 quence, and the far 1 higher qualities of candor, of 

 courtesy ? of modesty, and of generous appreciation 

 of merit in others. N. A. Med. -C hir Review. 



Watson's unrivalled, perhaps unapproachable 

 work on Practice the copious additions made to 

 which (the fourth edition) have given it all the no- 

 velty and much, of the interest of a new book.

Lecturers, practitioners, and students of medicine 

 will equally hail the reappearance of the work of 

 Dr. Watson in the form of a new a fourth edition. 

 We merely do justice to our own feelings, and, we 

 are sure, of the whole profession, if we thanK him 

 for having, in the trouble and turmoil of a large 

 practice, made leisure to supply the hiatus caused 

 by the exhaustion of the third edition. For Dr. 

 Watson has not merely caused the lectures to be 

 reprinted, but scattered through the whole work we 

 find additions or alterations which prove that the 

 author has in every way sought to bring up his teach- 

 ing to the level of ihe most recent acquisitions in 

 science. Brit, and For. Medico-C hir. Review.

WILSON (ERASMUS), F. R. S. 



A SYSTEM OF HUMAN ANATOMY, General and Special. A new and re- 



vised American, from the last and enlarged English Edition. Edited by W. H. GOBRECHT, M. D., 

 Professor of Anatomy in the Pennsylvania Medical College, &c. Illustrated with three hundred 

 and ninety-seven engravings on wood. In one large and exquisitely printed octavo volume, oi 

 over 600 large pages; extra cloth, $3 50; leather, $4 00. 



The publishers trust that the well earned reputation so long enjoyed by this work will be more 

 than maintained by the present edition. Besides a very thorough revision by the author, it has been 

 most carefully examined by the editor, and the efforts of both have been directed to introducing 

 everything which increased experience in its use has suggested as desirable to render it a complete 

 text-book for those seeking to obtain or to renew an acquaintance with Human Anatomy. The 

 amount of additions which it has thus received may be estimated from the fact that the present 

 edition contains over one-fourth more matter than the last, rendering a smaller type and an enlarged 

 page requisite to keep the volume within a convenient size. The editor has exercised the utmost 

 caution to obtain entire accuracy in the text, and has largely increased the number of illustra- 

 tions, of which there are about one hundred and fifty more in this edition than in. the last, thus 

 bringing distinctly before the eye of the student everything of interest or importance. 



It may be recommended to the student as no less beauty of its mechanical execution, and the clear 

 distinguished by its accuracy and clearness of de- 

 scription than by its typographical elegance. The 

 wood-cuts are exquisite. Brit, and For. Medical 

 Review . 



An elegant edition of one of the most useful and 

 accurate systems of anatomical science which has 

 been issued from the press The illustrations are 

 really beautiful. In its style the work is extremely 

 concise and intelligible. No one can possibly take 

 up this volume without being struck with the grout 



ness of the descriptions which it contains is equally 

 evident. Let students, by all means examine tne 

 claims of this work on their notice, before they pur- 

 chase a text-book of the vitally important science 

 which this volume so fully and easily unfolds.

We regard it as the best system now extant for
