AN AMERICAN TEXT-BOOK OF OBSTETRICS. Edited by RICH- 

 ARD C. NORRIS, M. D.; Art Editor, ROBERT L. DICKINSON, M. D. One 

 handsome octavo volume of over 1000 pages, with nearly 900 colored and 

 half-tone illustrations. Prices : Cloth, $7.00 ; Sheep or Half- Morocco, $8.00. 



The advent of each successive volume of the series of the AMERICAN TEXT- 

 BOOKS has been signalized by the most flattering comment from both the Press and 

 the Profession. The high consideration received by these text-books, and their 

 attainment to an authoritative position in current medical literature, have been 

 matters of deep international interest, which finds its fullest expression in the 

 demand for these publications from all parts of the civilized world. 



In the preparation of the "AMERICAN TEXT-BOOK OF OBSTETRICS " the editor 

 has called to his aid proficient collaborators whose professional prominence entitles 

 them to recognition, and whose disquisitions exemplify Practical Obstetrics. 

 While these writers were each assigned special themes for discussion, the correla- 

 tion of the subject-matter is, nevertheless, such as ensures logical connection in 

 treatment, the deductions of which thoroughly represent the latest advances in the 

 science, and which elucidate the best modern methods of procedure. 



The more conspicuous feature of the treatise is its wealth of illustrative matter. 

 The production of the illustrations had been in progress for several years, under 

 the personal supervision of Robert L. Dickinson, M. D., to whose artistic judg- 

 ment and professional experience is due the most sumptuously illustrated 

 work of the period. By means of the photographic art, combined with the 

 skill of the artist and draughtsman, conventional illustration is superseded by 

 rational methods of delineation. 



Furthermore, the volume is a revelation as to the possibilities that may be 

 reached in mechanical execution, through the unsparing hand of its publisher.

" At first glance we are overwhelmed by the magnitude of this work in several respects, viz. : 

 First, by the size of the volume, then by the array of eminent teachers in this department who have 

 taken part in its production, then by the profuseness and character of the illustrations, and last, but 

 not least, the conciseness and clearness with which the text is rendered. This is an entirely new 

 composition, embodying the highest knowledge of the art as it stands to-day by authors who occupy 

 the front rank in their specialty, and there are many of them. We cannot turn over these pages 

 without being struck by the superb illustrations which adorn so many of them. We are confident 

 that this most practical work will find instant appreciation by practitioners as well as students."

Permit me to say that your American Text-Book of Obstetrics is the most magnificent medical 

 work that I have ever seen. I congratulate you and thank you for this superb work, which alone is 

 sufficient to place you first in the ranks of medical publishers. 



With profound respect I am sincerely yours,
