THE SCIENCE AND ART OP SURGERY; being a Treatise on Surgical 



Injuries, Diseases, and Operations. New and improved American, from the second enlarged 



and carefully revised London edition. Illustrated "wilh over four hundred engravings on vi^ood.

The very distinguished favor with which this work has been received on both sides of the Atlan- 

 tic has stimulated the author to render it even more worthy of the position which it has so rapidly 

 ailained a'* a standard authority. Every portion has been earefnlly revised, numerous addition's 

 hHve been made, and the mo^t watfhfnl care has been exercised to render it a complete exponent 

 of the most advanced condition of surg^icai science. In this manner the work has been enlarged by 

 aboTit a hundred pae-es, while the series of engravings has been increased by more than a hundred, 

 n^nderinir it one of the most thoroughly illustrated volumes before the profession. The additions oJ 

 the nuihor having rendered unnecep:-ary most of the notes o( the former American editor, but littfe 

 has been added in this country; some few notes and occasional illustrations have, however, been 

 inlroducefl to elucidate American modes of practice. 



It is, in our humble judgment- decidedly the best 

 iioolv ( f the kind in the English lang-iinge. Strange 

 thai jn-i guch liooks nre noiofiener produced by puo- 

 he it^rtehrr-i of surgery in ilii^ country and Greai

 hut no less true than a'^tonishing. ihai of the many 

 works on surgery republished in ihiyeouniry wiUiiii

hs value is greatly enhanced by a very copious 

 well-arranged index. "We regard this as one of the 

 most valuable conivihutions to modern surgery. To 

 one e.ni'Ting his Tioviiiaie of practice, we regard n 

 the most sf-rvieeablr guide which he can consult. He 

 will find a fubiL'^s of detail leadinghim ihrocgh every 



step of the operajion, and not deserting him until the 

 final issue of lire ease is decided — Sethor-cope. 



Embracing, a^r will be perceived, Uie whole sorgi- 

 cal domain, and each division of itself almost com- 

 plete and perfect, each chapifrfiill and explicit, each 

 subject faithfully exhibiif'd, wi-j can only t'xpress oui 

 estimate o( it in the aggree:;Jte. We consider it an 

 excellent contribution to surgery, as probably the 

 best single voiume now e.\iant on the subject, and 

 with great pleui^nre wr add it to our text-books. —

Prof Erichseji's work, for Us size, has not been 

 surpassed; his nine hundred and eight pages, pro- 

 fu'iely illustrated, are rich in physiological, patholo- 

 gical, and operative suggestions, doctrines, details, 

 and processes ; and will prove a reliable resource 

 for information, both to physician and sureeon, m the 

 hour of peril. — N. 0. Med. and Surg. Journal.

PHYSICAL EXPLORATION AND DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASES AFFECT- 

 ING THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS. In one large and handsome octavo volume, extra 

 cloth, 636 pages. S3 00. 

 We regard it, in point both of arrangement and of 



the marked abilitv of its treatment of the eubiects, 



M8 destined to take the first rank in works of this 



class So far as our information extends, it has at 



present no equal. Tn the practitioner, as well as 



the student, it will be invaluable in clearing up the 



diagnosis of doubtful cases, and in shedding light 



upon diffieultphenomena. — Buffalo Med. Journal. 



A work nforiginal observation of thehighest merit. 

 We recommend the treatise to every one who wisheo 

 to become a correct aiiscultator. Based to a very 

 large extent upon cases numerically examined, it 

 carries thcevidtnce of careful studj and discrimina- 

 tion upon every page. It dc.cs credit to tne author, 

 and, through hira, to the proA'ssion in this country. 

 It is, what we cannot call every hook upon auscul- 

 tation, a readable book.— ^m. Jour. Med. Science?.

great force and beauty, and. wilh hia previous work, 

 niacfs him at the head of American writers upon 

 diseases of the chest. We have adopted hia work 

 upon the heart as a t^xt-book, believing it to be 

 more valunble I'nr that purpose than any work of th* 

 kind that has yet appeared .— A'a5/(Vi7?e Med.Jovrn. 



We do no* know that Dr. Flint has written any- 

 thing which is n()t first rate ; but this, his latest ccm- 

 tribution tn medical literature, in our opinion, sur- 

 passes all the others. The work is most comprehen- 

 sive in its scope, and mrst sound iu the views it enun- 

 ciates. The d'.scripti'ine are clear and methodical ; 

 the statements tire substantiated by facts, arid are 

 made with such simplicity and sincerity, that with- 

 out them tlniy would carry conviction. The style 

 is admirably clear, direct, and free from drvness 

 With Dr. Walshe's excellent treatise before us, we 

 have no hesitation in Ba> ing that Dr. Flint's book is 

 the beet wntk on the heart in the English language.

We have thus endeavored to present our readers 

 with a fair analysis ot this remarkable work. Pre- 

 ferring toemplfiy the very words of thedistmguished 

 author, wherever it was possible, we have essayed 

 to ccuidense into ttie briefest space a general view of 

 his observations and suggestions, and to direct the 

 aitentitm of onr brethien to the abounding stores of 

 valuable matter here collected and arranged for their 

 use and instruction. No medical library will here 

 after be considered compleie without this volume ; 

 and we triis' it will promptly find its way into the 

 hands of every Ameicwn student and physician. —

This last work of Prof. Flint will add much to 

 his previimb well-earneu celebruy, as a writer ol 



AVith more than pleasure do vve hail the advent of 

 this W(trk, for it fills a wide gap on the list if text- 

 boots for our schools, and is, tor the practitinner, 



then.ost valuable practical work of its kind.— iV O 

 Med. Newi. 



In regard to the merits of the work, we have no 

 hesi'ation in pronouncing it full, accurate, and ju- 

 dicious. Considering the prcs-nt state of science, 

 such a work was much needed. It should be in the 

 handsof every practitioner —r/j/>rr^o iVled Journal. 



But these are verv trivia! spots, and in nowise 

 prevent us from declaring our most hearty approval 

 of the author's iibility, industry, and conscientious- 

 ness.— iJwt^m Quarterly Journal of Med. Sciences. 



Hehaslaborerion wih the same indui^tryand care, 

 and hia place among the^ri/ authors of our country 

 is becoming fully esmbliolied. To this end, the work 

 whose title is given above, coniributes in no small 

 degrt-e. Our spa e will not admit of ii\ extended 

 analysis, and we will closr this orief no'ice by 

 commending it without reperve to every class of 

 readers in the profession.— Pc«rnwt/ar Med. Jovrn.
