SWANZY. A Hand-Book of the Diseases of the Eye, and their 
Treatment. By Henry R. Swanzy, A.M., M.B., F.R.C.8.L, Sur- 
geon to the National Eye and Ear Infirmary ; Ophthalmic Surgeon to the 
Adelaide Hospital, Dublin. 
“Though, amid the numerous recent text- 
books on eye-diseases, there would appear to be 
little room or necessity for another, we must admit 
that this one justifies its presence, by its admirable 
type, illustrations, and dress, by its clear wording, 
and, above all, by the vast amount of’ varied mat- 
ter which it embraces within the relatively small 
compass of some four hundred pages. The author 
has omittel—and, in our,opinion, with perfect wis- 
dom—the usual collection of indifferent, second- 
hand ophthalmoscopic plates. So, also, he has not 
included test-types, though he has appended, for 
explanatory purposes, the fan which is often used 
in astigmatism. Admirable samples of the colored 
wools, used in Holmgren’s tests, are sewn into the 
Crown 8vo.

the power of any one, wherever residing, to make 
& proper collection of colored wools and tests for 
the qualitative estimation of congenital color-de- 
tects, We have criticised the book at length, and 
drawn attention freely to points on which the 
author’s opinion is at variance with the commonly 
received teaching. This we have done because 
there is much individuality in the work, which 
bears every mark of having been well thought out 
and independently written. In these respects it 
presents a marked superiority over the ordina 
run of medical hand-books; and we have no hesi- 
tation in recommending it to students and young 
practitioners as one of the very best, if not actually 
the best, work to procure on the subject of 
cover, and, by aid of these, it will be perfectly within ophthalmology.’’— British Medical Journat.

TRACY. The Essentials of Anatomy, Physiology, and Hy- 
giene. By Roger 8. Tracy, M. D., Sanitary Inspector of the New York 
City Health Department. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. 
This work has been prepared in response to the demand for a thoroughly scientific and yet practical 
text-book for schools and academies, which shall afford an accurate knowledge of the essential facts of 
Anatomy and Physiology, as furnishing a scientific basis for the study of Hygiene and the Laws of 
Health. It also treats, in a rational manner, of the physiological effects of alcohol and other narcotics, 
fulfilling all the requirements of recent legislative enactments upon this subject. 
“Tt is one of the best of the kind that I have 
ever seen. One of the most important features 
about the book is the clear and concise manner in 
which it is written—a thing much to be desired in 
a work of the kind. The illustrations are excel- 
lent, and show that Dr. Tracy gave thorough con- 
sideration to his subject.’’—M. F. Coomes, M. D..
