We close thie brief and uecessarily very imperfect 

 notice of Dr. AVinelow's ^ reat and classical wurk, 

 byexprcBsing our conviction that it is long since so 

 important and beautifully written a volume has is- 

 sued from the British medical pre^s, — ItublitiMtd.

It car t cti us back tn our old days of novel reading, 

 it kept us from our diirier, from our bupiness, and 

 fri'ii. our slumbers; in short, we Uid it down only 

 wiien we had got to the end of tlie last parugmph. 

 and cvpn then turned bacK to the reper usal ofseverLiI 

 passages which we h^d marked as requiring furihtr 

 study We htive failed entirely In tiie above notice 

 to give an adequate acknowledgment of the profit 

 and pleasure witn whicli we have perused t lie above 

 WOFK. We can only say to our readers, study it 



yourselves ; and we extend the invitation to unpro- 

 fessional as well as professional men, believmg that 

 it contains matter deeply interesting not to physi- 

 cians alone, but toall who appreciate the trutli that:

The latter portion of Dr. Winslow's vi^ork is ex- 

 clusively devoted to the consideration of Cerebral 

 Puthology. It qompletely exhausts the subject, in 

 the sjime manner as the pievinus seventeen chapters 

 relating to morbid psychical phenomena left nothing 

 unnoticed in reference to ihc mental symptoms pre- 

 monitory of cerebral disease It is impossible to 

 overrate the benefits likely to result from a general 

 perusal of Dr. Winslow's v;ilua de and deeply in- 

 teresting work — London Lancet, June 23, ISGO, 



It contains an immense mass of information. —

A fairer, more honest, more earnest, and more re-

We gladly recommend his Lectures as in the high- 

 est degree instructive to all who are interested in 

 obstetric practice. — London Lancet. 



We have to say of it, briefly and decidedly, thai 

 it is the best work on the subject in any language ; 

 and that it stamps Dr. West as iht facile princept 

 of British obstetric Huthors. — Edinh. Med. Journ. 



As a writer, Dr. West stiinds., in our opinion, sec- 

 ond only to Watson, the " Macau I ay of Medic ine;" 

 Ue posisesfies that happy faculty uf clothing instruc- 



tion in easy garments; combining pleasure with 

 profit, he leads his pupils, in spue of the ancient 

 proverb, along a royal road Co learning. His work 

 IS one which will not satisfy the extreme on either 

 side, but It is one that will please the great majoriiy 

 who are seeking truth, and one that will convince 

 the student that he has committed himself to a can- 

 did, s»ie, and valuable guide. — A'. A. Med.-Chirurg. 

 Review, July, 1858. 



Happy in his simplicity of manner, and moderate 

 in his expression of opinion, the author is a sound 

 reasoner and a good piaciitioner, and his book is 

 worthy of the liunusome garb in which it has ap- 

 peared. — Virginia Med. Journal. 



We must take leave of Dr. West's very useful 

 work, with our coinmendaLion or the clearness of 

 its style, and the imu fairy and sobriety of judgment 

 of which It gives evidence.— -Lo«do?i Meti Times. 



Sound judgment and good sense pervade every 

 chapter ul the uouk. From its perusal we have de- 

 rived unmixed jatisfactiuu. — Dublin Quart. Joum.

LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OP INPANOI AND CHILDHOOD. 



Third American, from the fourth enlarged and improved London edition. Iq one handsome 

 octavo volume, extra cloth, of about six hundred and fitly pages. $i 75. 

 The three former editions of the work now before 



us have placed the author in tue loremctst runk of 



those physicians who have cevoted special attention 



to the diseatses of early life We attempt no .ana- 

 lysis of this edition, but may refer the readfr tu^ome 



»)f the chapters to which the largest aduitioiis have 



been made — those on Diphtheria, Disorders of the 



Mind, and Idiocy, fur instance — asapiooi that the 



work IB really a new edition j not a meie lepriiit. 



In its preteiit shape it will be lound of ihe greatest 

 pussible service in the every-day practice uf nine- 

 tenlha of the profession. —Med. Times and Gazette, 

 London, Dtc. 10, 1859. 



All things considired. this book of Dr. West is 

 by far the best treatise in our language upon such 

 modifications of morbid action and diseise us ure 

 w^itntbsed when we have to deal with uilancy and 

 childhood, it is true that it conhnes itself to such 

 disorders as come wii-hin the provijce uf the phy- 

 sician, and even with respect lo these it is unequal 

 as regards minatentss of consideration, and some 



diseases it omits to notice altogether. But those 

 who know anything of the preiient condition of 

 paidiuincs will readily admit chat it would be next 

 to impossible to efl"ect more, ur effect it better, than 

 the accoucheur of St. Bartholomew's has d(jne m a 

 single volume. The lecture (XVI.) upon Disurctrg 

 of the Mind in chiloren is an admirable specimen of 

 tiie value 01 the later information conveyed in the 

 Lectures of Dr. Charles West, — London Lancet, 

 Oct. 22, 1859. 



Since the appearance of the first edition, about 

 eleven years ago, the experience of the author has 

 doubled I so that, whereas the lectures at first were 

 founded on six hundred observations, and one hun- 

 dred and eigiiiy dissections made among neaiiy four- 

 teen thousaud children, they now embody the results 

 of nine hundred ubBervatu>ns, and two hundred and 

 eigh ly -eight post- moriem examinations made among 

 nearly thirty thousand children, who, during the 



past twt-ity years, liave been under his care.
