We know of no other surgical work of a reason- 

 able size, wherein there is so much theory and prac- 

 tice, or where subjects are more soundly or clearly 

 taught. The Stethoscope. 



There is scarcely a disease of the bones or soft 

 parts, fracture, or dislocation, that is not illustrated 

 by accurate wood-engravings. Then, again, every 

 instrument employed by the surgeon is thus repre- 

 sented. These engravings are not only correct, but 



really beautiful, showing the astonishing degree of 

 oerfection to which the art of wood-engraving hag 

 arrived. Prof. Pirrie, in the work before us, has 

 elaborately discussed the principles of surgery, and 

 a safe and effectual practice predicated upon them. 

 Perhaps no work upon this subject heretofore issued 

 is so full upon the science of the art of surgery.

RICORD (P.), M. D. 

 A TREATISE ON THE VENEREAL DISEASE. By JOHN HUNTER, F. R. 8. 



With copious Additions, by PH. RICORD, M.D. Translated and Edited, with Notes, by FREEMAN 

 J. BUMSTEAD, M. D , Lecturer on Venereal at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York. 

 Second edition, revised, containing a resume of RICORD'S RECENT LECTURES ON CHANCRE. In 

 one handsome octavo volume, extra cloth, of 550 pages, with eight plates. $3 25. (Now Ready.) 

 In revising this work, the editor has endeavored to introduce whatever matter of interest the re- 

 cent investigations of syphilographers have added to our knowledge of the subject. The principal 

 source from which this has been derived is the volume of "Lectures on Chancre," published a few 

 months since by M. Rieord, which affords a large amount of new and instructive material on many 

 controverted points. In the previous edition, M. Ricord's additions amounted to nearly one-third 

 of the whole, and with the matter now introduced, the work may be considered to present his views 

 and experience more thoroughly and completely than any other. The value of the original treatise 

 of Mr. Hunter is too well known to require praise. Perhaps no medical work in the English lan- 

 guage has so thoroughly stood the test of time, or has so completely assumed the position of a 

 cla>sic, and a volume like the present, containing the united labors of the highest authorities on so 

 difficult and important a subject, becomes indispensable to all who desire to keep themselves on a 

 level with the progress of medical science. 



Every one will recognize the attractiveness and 

 value which this work derives from thus presenting 

 the opinions of these two masters side by side. But, 

 it must be admitted, what has made the fortune of 

 the book, is the fact that it contains the "most com- 

 plete embodiment of the veritable doctrines of the 

 Hopital du Midi," which has ever been made public. 

 The doctrinal ideas of M. Rieord, ideas which, if not 

 universally adopted, are incontestably dominant, have 

 heretofore only been interpreted by more or less skilful 



secretaries, sometimes accredited and sometimes not. 

 In the notes to Hunter, the master substitutes him- 

 self for his interpreters, and gives his original thoughts 



to the world in a lucid and perfectly intelligible man-

 phrase, we may be excused for expressing the hope 

 that it may find a place in the library of every phy- 

 sician. Virginia Med. and Surg. Journal.

 The profession is too well acquainted with the re- 

 putation of Rokitansky's work to need our assur- 

 ance that this is one of the most profound, thorough, 

 and valuable books ever issued from the medical 

 press. It is sui generis, and has no standard of com- 

 parison. It is only necessary to announce that it is 

 issued in a form as cheap as is compatible with its 

 size and preservation, and its sale follows as a 

 matter of course. No library can be called- com- 

 plete without it. Buffalo Med. Journal. 



An attempt to give our readers any adequate idea 

 of the vast amount of instruction accumulated in 

 these volumes, would be feeble and hopeless. The 

 effort of the distinguished author to concentrate 

 in a small space his great fund of knowledge, has
