FOWNES (GEORGE), PH. D., &c. 

 ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY; Theoretical and Practical. With numerous 



illustrations Third American, from a late London edition. Edited, with Additions, by ROBERT 



BRIDGES, M. D. In one large royal 12mo. volume, of over 500 pages, with about 180 wood-cut:*, 



sheep, or extra cloth. 



The work of Dr. Fowr.es has long been before I and facts of modern chemistry, originally intended 

 the public, and its merits have been fully appreci- ' as a guide to the lectures of the author, corrected by 

 ated as the best text-book on chemistry now in his own hand shortly before his death in 1849, and 

 .existence. We do not, of course, place it in a rank j recently revised by Dr. Bence Jones, who lias made 

 superior to the works of Brande, Graham, Turner, j some additions to the chapter on animal Chemistry. 



Gregory, 

 for stude 



or Gmelin, but we say that, as a work 

 for students, it is preferable to any of them. Lon- 

 don Journal of Medicine. 



The rapid sale of this Manual evinces its adapta- 

 tion to the wants of the student of chemistry, whilst 

 the well-known merits of its lamented author have 

 constituted a guarantee for its value, as a faithful 

 exposition of the general principles and most im- 

 portant facts of the science to which it professes to 

 be an introduction. British and Foreign Medico- 

 Chirurgical Review. 



A work well adapted to the wants of the student. 



It is an excellent exposition of the chief doctrines nal of Meiical Science. 



Although not intended to supersede the more extended 

 treatises on chemistry, Professor Fownes's Manual 

 may, we think, be often used as a work of reference, 

 even by those advanced in the study, who may be de- 

 sirous of refreshing their memory on some forgotten 

 point. The size of the work, and still more the con- 

 densed yet perspicuous style in which it is written, 

 absolve it from the charges very properly urged 

 against most manuals termed popular, viz.: of omit- 

 ting details of indispensable importance, of avoiding 

 technical difficulties, instead of explaining them, 

 and of treating subjects of high scientific "interest 

 in an unscientific way. Edinburgh Monthly Jour-

 Professor of Chemistry in University College, London, &c 



THE ELEMENTS OF CHEMISTRY. Including the application of the Science 

 to the Arts. With numerous illustrations. With Notes and Additions, by ROBERT BRIDGES, 

 M. D., &c. &c. Second American, from the second and enlarged London edition 

 PART I. (Lately Isstieel) large 8vo., 430 pages, 185 illustrations. 

 PART II. (Preparing) to match. 



The great changes which theTscience of chemistry has undergone within the last, few years, ren- 

 der a new edition of a treatise like the present, almost a new work. The author has devoted 

 several years to the revision of his treatise, and has endeavored to embody in it every fact and 

 inference of importance which has been observed and recorded by the great body of chemical 

 investigators who are so rapidly changing the face of the science. In this manner the work has 

 been greatly increased in size, and the number of illustrations doubled ; while the labors of the editor 

 have been directed towards the introduction of such matters as have escaped the attention of the 

 author, or as have arisen since the publication of the first portion of this edition in London, in IS^O. 

 Printed in handsome style, and at a very low price, it is therefore confidently presented to the pro- 

 fession and the student as a very complete and thorough text-book of this important subject. 



GROSS (SAMUEL D.), M . D., 



Professor of Surgery in the Louisville Medical Institute, &c.* 



A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES AND INJURIES OF 



THE URINARY ORGANS. In one large and beautifully printed octavo volume, of over seven 

 hundred pages. With numerous illustrations. 



A volume replete with truths and principles of the 

 utmost value in the investigation of these diseases. 

 American Medical Journal . 



Dr. Grss has brought all his learning, experi- 

 ence, tact, and judgment to the task, and has pro- 

 duced a work worthy of his high reputation. We 

 feel perfectly safe in recommending it to our read- 

 ers as a monograph unequalled in interest and 

 practical value by any other on the subject in our 

 language; and we cannot help saying, that we es- 

 teem it a matter of just pride, that another work 

 so creditable to pur country has been contributed 

 to our medical literature by a Western physician. 

 The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



We regret that our limits preclude such a notice 

 as this valuable contribution to our American 

 Medical Literature merits. We have only room 

 to say that the author deserves the thanks of the 

 profession for this elaborate production; which 

 cannot fail to augment the exalted reputation ac- 

 quired by his former works, for which he has been 

 honored at home and abroad. N. Y. Med Gazette. 



Whoever will peruse the vast amount of valuable 

 practical information it contains, and which we 

 have been unable even to notice, will, we think, 

 agree with us, that there is no work in the English 

 language which can make any just pretensions to 

 be its equal. Secure in the esteem and confidence 

 of the profession in this country, at least, its distin- 



guished author will doubtless receive their warmest 

 congratulations that he has succeeded in producing 

 a treatise so creditable to himself, and, as we hum- 

 bly believe, in American surgical literature. N. Y. 

 Journal of Medicine. 



It has remained for an American writer to wipe 

 away this reproach ; and so completely has the task 

 been fulfilled, that we venture to predict for Dr. 

 Gross's treatise a permanent place in the literature 

 of surgery, worthy to rank with the best works of 

 the present age. Not merely is the matter good, 

 but the getting up of the volume is most creditable 

 to transatlantic enterprise ; the paper and print 

 would do credit to a first-rate London establishment ; 

 and the numerous wood-cuts which illustrate it, de- 

 monstrate that America is making rapid advances in 

 this department of art. We have, indeed, unfeigned 

 pleasure in congratulating all concerned in this pub- 

 lication, on the result of their labours; and expe- 

 rience a feeling something like what animates a long- 

 expectant husbandman, who, oftentimes disappointed 

 by the produce of a favorite field, is at last agree- 

 ably surprised by a stately crop which may bear 

 comparison with any of its former rivals. The 

 grounds of our high appreciation of the work will 

 be obvious as we proceed; and we doubt not that 

 the present facilities for obtaining American books 

 will induce many of our readers to verify our re- 

 commendation by their own perusal of it. British 

 and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review.
