HAMILTON (FRANK H.), M. D., 



Professor of Surgery in the Long Island College Hospital. 



A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS. In 



one large and handsome octavo volume, ol over 750 pages, with 289 illustrations. $4 25. {Now 

 Ready^ January, 1860.) 



Among the many good workers at surgery of whom 

 Amerjpa may now boost rot the leapt is Frank Hast- 

 ings Hamilton ; and the volume before us is (we say 

 It wiUi u pang of wounded patriotism) the best and 

 handiest bonk on the subject in the Erglish Ian- 

 gunge. It is in vain to attempt a review o( it; 

 nearly as vain to seek for any sins, either of com- 

 mission or omission. We have seen no work on 

 practical surgery which we would sooner recom- 

 mend to our brother surgeons, especially those of 

 ** the services," tr those whose practice lies in dis- 

 tricts w^liere a man has necessarily to rdy on iiis 

 own unaided resources. The practitioner will find 

 in It directions for nearly every possible aciiaent, 

 easily found and comprehended ; and much pleasant 

 leading for him to muse ovi^r in theafter conpidera- 

 tionof hiscases. — Edinburgh Med. Journ Feb ISGl. 



This is a valuable contribution to the surgery of 

 most important affections, and is the more welcome, 

 inasmnrh as ai tlie present time we do not possess 

 a single complete treatife on Fraclures and Dislo- 

 cations in the Knglish language. It has remained for 

 our Amei ican brother to produce a complete treatise 

 upon the subject, and bring together in a convenient 

 form those alterations and improvements that have 

 been marie from time to lime in the treatment of these 

 affections. One great and valuable feature in the 

 work befure us is the fact that it comprises all the 

 improvements introduced into the practice of both 

 Knglish and American surgery, and though far from 

 omitting mention of our continental neighbors, the 

 author by no means tncourages the notion — but too 

 prevalent in some quarters— that nothing is good 

 unless imported from France or Germany. Tne 

 latter half of the work is devoted to the considera- 

 tiuu of the various dislocations and their appropri- 

 ate treatment, and its mbrit is fully equal to that of 

 the preceding portion. — The London Lancet, May 5, 

 1860. 



It is emphatically the book upon the subjects of 

 which it treats, and we cannot doubt that it will 

 continue bo to be for an indefinite period of time. 

 When we say, hiiwever, that we believe it will at 

 unce take ils place as the best book for consultation 

 by the practiticmer; and that it will form the most 

 complete, available, and reliable guide in emergen- 

 cies of every nature connected with its subjects ; and 

 also that the studcntof surgery may make it his text- 

 book wiiih entire confidence, and with pleasure also, 

 from its agreeable and easy style — we think our own 



opinion may be gathered as to its value, — Tioston 

 Medical and Surgical Jourvalj March 1, I860. 



The work is concise, judicious, and accurate, and 

 adapted to the wants of the student, practitioner, 

 and investigator, honorable to the au thor and to the 

 profession.— CAicag^o Med. Journal, March, 1860. 



We reeard this work as an honor not only to its 

 author, but to the profession t->{ our country. Were 

 we to review it thoroughly, we could not convey to 

 the mind o[ the reader more forcibly our hnnest 

 opinion expressed in the few words — we think it the 

 best book ot its kind extant. Every man interested 

 in surgery will soon have thiBWork on his desk. 

 He who docd not, w ill be the loser, — New Orleans 

 Medical News, Marcti, 1860. 



Now that it is before us, we feel bound to say that 

 much as was expected from it, and onerous ks was 

 the undertaking, It has surpassed expectation, and 

 achieved mtjre than was pledged in its behalf; for 

 its title does not express in full the richness of its 

 contents. On the whole, we are prouder of this 

 work than of any which lias for years emanated 

 from the American medical press; its sale will cer- 

 tainly be very large in this country, and we antici- 

 pate its eliciting much attention in Europe. — Nash- 

 vilie Medical Record, Mar. 1860. 



Every surgeon, young and old, should posseBS 

 himself of it, and give it a careful perusal, in doing 

 which he will be richly repaid. — St. Louis Med. 

 and Surg. Journal, March, 1660. 



Dr. Hamilton is fortunate in having succeeded in 

 filling the void, so long felt, with what cannot fail 

 to be at once accepted as a model monograph in sctme 

 respects, and a work of classical authority. We 

 sincerely congratulate the profession of the United 

 States on the appearance of such a publication from 

 one of their number. We have reason to be proud 

 of it as an original work, both in a literary and aci~ 

 entific point of view, and to esleeni it as a valuable 

 guide in a most difficult and important branch of 

 study and practice. On every account, therefore, 

 we hope that it may soon be widely known abroad 

 as an evideoce of genuine progress on this side of 

 the Atlantic, and further, that it may be still more 

 widely known at home as an autlioritative teacher 

 from which every one may profitably learn, and as 

 affording an example of honest, well-directed, and 

 untiring industry in authorship which every surgeon 

 may emulate.- Am. Med. Journal, April, 1860.

this dictionary as being convenient in size, accurate

 adapted. It is not encumbered with the obsolete terms 

 of a bygone age, but it contains all that are now in 



down to the very latest date. — Western Lancet. 



Hoblyn's Dictionary has Umg been a favorite with
