MEDICAL LEXICON; A DICTIONARY OF MEDICAL SCIENCE: Con- 

 taining a concise explanation of the various Subjects and Terms of Anatomy, Physiology, 

 Pathology, Hygiene, Therapeutics, Pharmacology, Pharmacy, Surgery, Obstetrics, Medical 

 Jurisprudence, and Dentistry. Notices of Climate and of Mineral Waters; Formulae for 

 Officinal, Empirical, and Dietetic Preparations; with the Accentuation and Etymology of 

 the Terms, and the French and other Synonymes ; so as to constitute a French as well as 

 English Medical Lexicon. Thoroughly Revised, and very greatly Modified and Augmented 

 In one very large and handsome royal octavo volume of 1048 double-columned pages, in 

 small type; strongly done up in extra cloth, $6 00; leather, raised bands, $6 75. 

 The object of the author from the outset has not been to make the work a mere lexicon or 

 dictionary of terms, but to afford, under each, a condensed view of its various medical relations, 

 and thus to render the work an epitome of the existing condition of medical science. Starting 

 with this view, the immense demand which has existed for the work has enabled him, in repeated 

 revisions, to augment its completeness and usefulness, until at length it has attained the position 

 of a recognized and standard authority wherever the language is spoken. The mechanical exe- 

 cution of this edition will be found greatly superior to that of previous impressions. By enlarging 

 the size of the volume to a royal octavo, and by the employment of a small but clear type, on 

 extra fine paper, the additions have been incorporated without materially increasing the bulk of 

 the volume, and the matter of two or three ordinary octavos has been compressed into the space 

 of one not unhandy for consultation and reference. 



It would be a work of supererogation to bestow a 

 word of praise upon this Lexicon. We can only 

 wonder at the labor expended, for whenever we refer 

 to its pages for information we are seldom disap- 

 pointed in finding all we desire, whether it be in ac- 

 centuation, etymology, or definition of terms. New 

 York Medical Journal, November, 1865. 



It would be mere waste of words in us to express 

 our admiration of a work which is so universally 

 and deservedly appreciated. The most admirable 

 work of its kind in the English language. As a book 

 of reference it is invaluable to the medical practi- 

 tioner, and in every instance that we have turned 

 over its pages for information we have been charmed 

 by the clearness of language and the accuracy of 

 detail with which each abounds. We can most cor- 

 dially and confidently commend it to our readers. 

 Glasgow Medical Journal, January, 1866. *' ."' * 



A work to which there is no equal in the English 

 language. Edinburgh Medical Journal. 



It is something more than a dictionary, and some- 

 thing less than an encyclopedia. This edition of the 

 well-known work is a great improvement on its pre- 

 decessors. The book is one of the very few of which 

 it may be said with truth that every medical man 

 should possess it. London Medical Times, Aug. 26, 

 1865. 



Few works of the class exhibit a grander monument 

 of patient research and of scientific lore. The extent 

 of the sale of this lexicon is sufficient to testify to its 

 usefulness, and to the great service conferred by Dr. 

 Robley Dunglison on the profession, and indeed on 

 others, by its issue. London Lancet, May 13, 1865. 



The old edition, which is now superseded by the 

 new, has been universally looked upon by the medi- 

 cal profession as a work of immense research and 

 great value. The new has increased usefulness ; for 

 medicine, in all its branches, has been making such 

 progress that many new terms and subjects have i-e- 

 cently been introduced : all of which may be found 

 fully defined in the present edition. We know of no 

 other dictionary in the English language that can 

 bear a comparison with it in point of completeness of 

 subjects and accuracy of statement. -tf. Y. Drug- 

 gists' Circular, 1865. 



For many years Dunglison's Dictionary has been 

 the standard book of reference with most practition- 

 ers in this country, and we can certainly commend 

 this work to the renewed confidence and regard of 

 our readers. Cincinnati Lancet, April, 1865. 



It is undoubtedly the most complete and useful 

 medical dictionary hitherto published in this country. 

 Chicago. Med. Examiner, February, 1S65. 



What we take to be decidedly the best medical dic- 

 tionary in the English language. The present edition 

 is brought fully up to the advanced state of science. 

 For many a long year "Dunglison" has been at our 

 elbow, a constant companion and friend, and we 

 greet him in his replenished and improved form with 

 especial satisfaction. Pacific Med. and Surg. Jour- 

 nal, June 27, 1865. 



This is, perhaps, the book of all others which the 

 physician or surgeon should have on his shelves. It 

 is more needed at the present day than a few years 

 back. Canada Med. Journal, July, 1865. 



It deservedly stands at the head, and cannot be 

 surpassed in excellence. Buffalo Med. and Surg. 

 Journal, April, 1865. 



We can sincerely commend Dr. Dunglison's work 

 as most thorough, scientific, and accurate. We have 

 tested it by searching its pages for new terms, which 

 have abounded so much of late in medical nomen- 

 clature, and our search has been successful in every 

 instance. We have been particularly struck with the 

 fulness of the synonymy and the accuracy of the de- 

 rivation of words. It is as necessary a work to every 

 enlightened physician as Worcester's English Dic- 

 tionary is to every one who would keep up his know- 

 ledge of the English tongue to the standard of the 

 present day. It is, to our mind, the most complete 

 work of the kind with which we are acquainted. 

 Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, June 22, 1865. 



We are free to confess that we know of no medical 

 dictionary more complete ; no one better, if so well 

 adapted for the use of the student; no one that may 

 be consulted with more satisfaction by the medical 

 practitioner. Am. Jour. Med. Sciences, April, 1865. 



The value of the present edition has been greatly 

 enhanced by the introduction of new subjects and 

 terms, and a more complete etymology and accentua- 

 tion, which renders the work not only satisfactory 

 and desirable, but indispensable to the physician. 

 Chicago Med. Journal, April, 1865. 



No intelligent member of the profession can or will 

 be without it. St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, 

 April, 1865. 



It has tlie rare merit that it certainly has no rival 

 in the English language for accurxcy aud extent of 

 references. London Medical Gazette.
