“The apolozy given by the author, if any, 
apology be needed for the appearance of so ex- 
ecllent a work, is the frequent request on the 
art of those whom it ae bene his pleasure 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 sub- 
ject. We have perused this work with great 
pleasure and profit, and can bear testimony to 
the care and attention which tbe author has 
bestowed to make the book a benefit to his co- 
workers in the same ficld. ‘The cuts are 
numerous and well executed, and the text clear 
and well printed. The various operaniye pro- 
cedures are clearly and concisely described, 
and the results of the various operations briefly 
stated, ‘Ihe chapter on the treatment of 
operation wounds is worthy of special mention. 
he work is fully abreast of the most recént 
advances in operative surgery, and we have 
much pleasure in recommendiug it to onr 
readers.”—Canada Lancet. 
“The author of 
this work seems to 
know how in the 
briefest space to 
give the student of / 
surgery the aid 
necessary ‘to ac- 
uire 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 wuich it belongs.” —\ew York Medical Times. 
“The work of Professor Bryant, while it does not pretend to be a rival a 
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 surgical cases is generally of a most reliable nature ; 
indeed, it is this selecting from many proposed 
a which are usually met with in the 
arger surgical works, that much of the value of 
Professor Bryant’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 methods for their relief or cure. The 
operations peculiar to the female sex, and the sur- 
gery of the eye and ear, are not considered in the 
ook. . . . In concluding our notice of Professor 
Bryant’s book, it remains for us to congratulate 
him upon the successful result of his labor. He 
has written a very able and reliable surgical work 
onc that may be consulted both by surgeon and 
student, and one that contains all the more important advances of modern 
surgery. The publishers’ part of the work has been well done, and the 
numerous illustrations add much to the value of the volume.” — Therapeutic 
Gazette.

“The scope of the above work includes the methods of operating for the 
relief or cure of all surgical lesions, with the exception of fhoee peculiar to 
the female sex and those of the eye and ear. It is, therefore, seen that much 
ground would have to be gone over if a description of all operations were 
given; and, indeed, to describe all the operations proposed for every surgical
