This recent addition to the Loeb Classi- 

 cal Library deals with the surgical works 

 of Hippocrates, which are in some respects 

 the most important of his writings. The 

 editor and translator is a private English 

 scholar, not connected with any uni- 

 versity, whose thorough knowledge of 

 Greek scientific and medical writings has 

 been utilized in the preparation of the new 

 Liddell and Scott lexicon. 



This volume will interest all biologists, 

 as well as medical men, who are interested 

 in the historical side of their subject. 

 The chief thing which strikes the reader 

 is, once more, the extraordinary modern- 

 ity of the ancient Greeks.

 the lung; relations between the intestine
