METHOD AND MEDICINE.* 
D R. FOSTER has in this volume dealt with the mode in which the 
medical man should await knowledge — not content with what is 
known, not over desirous of adding novelties to science, hut between the 
two. His advice is excellent, and is what we should expect from one who has 
had such ample experience both as physician and teacher. The volume is 
an essay which originally appeared among a series of papers by the members 
of the Birmingham Speculative Club, from which the author has, in our 
opinion, done well to reproduce it. It displays at once the scholarship of 
an able physician and the style of a by no means inexperienced writer.

Hospital, Birmingham. London: Churchill. 1870.
