' ' The apology given by the author, if any apology be 

 needed for the appearance of so excellent a work, is the fre- 

 quent request on the part of those whom it has been his pleas- 

 ure to instruct in operative surgery during the past few years, 

 to make a book based somewhat on the plan he has employed 

 in teaching this subject. We have perused this work with 

 great pleasure and profit, and can bear testimony to the care 

 and attention which the author has bestowed to make the book 

 a benefit to his co-workers in the same field. The cuts are 

 numerous and well executed, and the text clear and well 

 printed. The various operative procedures are clearly and 

 concisely described, and the results of the various operations 

 briefly stated. The chapter on the treatment of operation 

 wounds is worthy of special mention. The work is fully 

 abreast of the most recent advances in operative surgery, and 

 we have much pleasure in recommending it to our readers."

" The author of this work seems to know how in the brief- 

 est space to give the student of surgery the aid necessary ' to 

 acquire established facts,' and this is an important point in a 

 book of this kind. The text is most fully illustrated, and 

 brings the subject to date, and it will be found useful in the 

 sphere to which it belongs," New York Medical Times.

" The work of Professor Bryant, while it does not pretend to be a rival of the larger works or systems 

 of surgery, is of its kind a most excellent book. Theories and doubtful methods of operating find no 

 place in the volume. It is rather to known facts and established procedures that the author has limited 

 his labor, and the judgment which he evinces in selecting from the various methods of operating in sur- 

 gical cases is generally of a most reliable nature ; indeed, it is this selecting from many proposed proced- 

 ures, which are usually met with in the larger surgical works, that much of the value of Professor Bry- 

 ant's book depends, and in this respect the book becomes a very able aid to the inexperienced surgeon. 



The scope of the work 

 includes most of the 

 surgical diseases, and 

 the operative meth- 

 ods for their relief or 

 cure. The operations 

 peculiar to the female 

 sex, and the surgery of 

 the eye and ear, are 

 not considered in the 

 book. ... In conclud- 

 ing our notice of Pro- 

 fessor Bryant's book, it 

 remains for us to con- 

 gratulate him upon the 

 successful result of his 

 labor. He has written 

 a very able and reliable 

 surgical work, one that 

 may be consulted both 

 by surgeon and stu- 

 dent, and one that con- 

 tains all the more im- 

 portant advances of 

 modern surgery. The 

 publishers' part of the 

 work has been well 

 done, and the numer- 

 ous illustrations add 

 much to the value of 

 the volume." Thera- 

 peutic Gazette.
