CATALOGUE OF MEDICAL WORKS. 41 
_ “Tt has been the aim of the authors, in writing their present treatise, to place before the reader a 
fairly complete and yet a clear and succinct statement of the facts of Modern Chemistry, while at the 
same time entering so tar into a discussion of chemical theory as the size of the work and the present 
transition state of’ the science will permit. 
“ Special attention has been paid to the accurate description of the more important processes in tech- 
nical chemistry, and to the care: 
ul representation of the most approved torms of apparatus employed. 
“‘ Much attention has likewise been given to the representation of apparatus adopted for lecture-room 
experiment, and the numerous new illustrations required for this purpose have all been taken from 
photographs of' apparatus actually in use.” —Zxtract from Preface. 
“The authors are evidently bent on making 
their book the finest systematic treatise on modern 
chemistry in the English language, an aim in 
which they are well seconded by their publishers 
who spare neither pains nor cost in illustrating and 
otherwise sctting forth the work of these distin- 
guished chemists.”’—London Athenwum. 
“Tt is difficult to praise too highly the selection 
of materials and their arrangement, or the wealth 
of illustrations which explain and adorn the text. 
In its woodcuts, in its technological details, in its 
historical notices, in its references to original me- 
moirs, and, it may be added, in its clear type, 
smooth paper, and ample margins, the volume un- 
der review presents most commendable teatures. 
Whatever tests of accuracy as to figures and tacts 
we have been able to apply have been satisfactorily 
met, while in clearness of statement this volume 
leaves nothing to be desired. Moreover, it is most 
satisfactory to find that the progress of' this valu- 
able work toward completion is so rapid thut its 
beginning will not have become antiquated before 
its end has been reached—no uncommon occur- 
rence with elaborate treatises on natural science 
subjects ’—London Academy. 
“ We have no hesitation in saying that this vol- 
ume fully keeps up the reputation gained by those 
that preceded it.g There is the same masterly 
handling of the subject-matter ; the same diligent 
care has been bestowed on hunting up all the old 
history connected with each product. It is this 
that lends so great a charm to the whole work, and 
makes it very much more than a mere text-book.”’

ROSENTHAL. General Physiology of Muscles and Nerves. 
By Dr. I. Rosentaat, Professor of Physiology at the University of Er- 
langen. With 75 Woodcuts. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. 
“Dr, Rosenthal claims that the present work is 
the ‘ first attempt at a connected account of general 
physiology of muscles and nerves.’ This being the 
ease, Dr. Rosenthal is entitled to the greatest credit 
for his clear and accurate pene of the ex- 
erimental data upon which must rest all future 
owledge of a very important branch of medical 
and clectrical science. The hook consists of, 817 
pages, with seventy-five woodcuts, many of which 
represent physiological ml Ses as devised by the 
author or by his friends, Professor Du Bois-Rey- 
mond and Helmholtz. It must be regarded as in- 
dispensable to all future courses of medical study.”

« Although this work is written for the instruc- 
tion of students, it is by no means so technical 
and recondite as to be unprofitable or uninterest- 
a to the inquiring general reader.’—New York 
server. 
“In this volume an attempt is made to 
a connected account of the general physiology 
of muscles and. nerves, a subject which has 
never before had so thorough an exposition in 
any text-hook, although it is one which has 
many points of interest for every cultivated 
man who sceks to be well informed on all 
branches of the science of life. This work sets 
before its readers all, even the most intricate 
phases of its subject with such’ clearness o: 
expression that any educated person though 
not a specialist can comprehend it.’—New Ha- 
ven Palladium.
