 It is exceedingly fitting that a System of Gyne- 

 cology should be given forth as the product of 

 American pens. America is the fountain of mod- 

 ern gynecology, and has contributed more than 

 any other country to its development. All things 

 considered, the best treatise on gynecology must 

 be expecled from this country, and when the 

 gynecologists of this country unite their efforts in

a "system," the result would be disappointing 

 were it not to excel anything of the kind hereto- 

 fore attempted. An examination of the first 

 volume of the work before us justifies every 

 expectation formed of it. We must commend it to 

 every reader interested in the division of medicine 

 of which it treats. The Medical Age, July 25, 1887.

book additionally interesting and gives it value as 

 a work of reference. London Medical Times and 

 Gazette, July 30.-1881. 



That the previous editions of the treatise of Dr. 

 Thomas were thought worthy of translation into 

 German, French, Italian and Spanish, is enough 

 to give it the stamp of genuine merit. At home it 

 has made its way into the library of every obstet- 

 rician and gynaecologist as a safe guide to practice. 

 No small number of additions have been made to 

 the present edition to make it correspond to re- 

 cent improvements in treatment. Pacific Medical 

 and Surgical Journal, Jan. 1881. 



The words which follow "fifth edition" are in 

 this case no mere formal announcement. The 

 alterations and additions which have been made are 

 both numerous and important. The attraction 

 and the permanent character of this book lie in 

 the clearness and truth of the clinical descriptions 

 of diseases; the fertility of the author in thera- 

 peutic resources and the fulness with which the 

 details of treatment are described; the definite 

 character of the teaching; and last, but not least, 

 the evident candor which pervades it. We would 

 also particularize the fulness with which the his- 

 tory of the subject is gone into, which makes the

It is a pleasure to read a book so thoroughly 

 good as this one. The special qualities which are 

 conspicuous are thoroughness in covering the 

 whole ground, clearness of description and con- 

 ciseness of statement. Another marked feature of 

 the book is the attention paid to the details of 

 many minor surgical operations and procedures, 

 as, for instance, the use of tents, application of 

 leeches, and use of hot water injections. These 



are among the more common methods of treat- 

 ment, and yet very little is said about them in 

 many of the text-books. The book is one to be 

 warmly recommended especially to students and 

 general practitioners, who need a concise but com- 

 plete resume of the whole subject. Specialists, too, 

 will find many useful hints in its pages. Boston
