BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
ent character, which come into our hands, within the purview 
of our particular guild, and we seldom fail, in doing so, to find 
many matters of great interest and value, upon nearly every 
topic involved in veterinary science. An illustration of this 
is afforded by the new work of which we have received a copy 
entitled “ Senn’s Principles of Surgery,” which proves to be 
one of the most interesting of the various works written on 
the subject to which it is devoted. The work is not only in¬ 
teresting and attractive because of the neatness of its literary 
execution, but also in respect to the peculiar arrangement of 
the contained matter. 
It opens with the subject of Regeneration, including that 
of the different tissues, which, with the subject of Inflamma¬

of the whole range of surgical diseases which are deemed to 
be of a parasitic nature. 
In this place the subjects of necrosis, suppuration, with its 
various modes of development, septicaemia, pyaemia, erysipe¬

glanders, are severally treated, the text being illustrated by 
109 wood cuts. It is not only a book for both the student 
and the general practitioner, as the author remarks, but the 
statement may with propriety be amended by making it 
read: “ for the student and general practitioner of both 
human and veterinary surgery ,”

The name of this author has been already so favorably and 
so often brought before the profession that a new work from 
his pen is sure to be recognized in advance as a contribution 
of interest and value, with a confident anticipation of the im¬ 
portance of his facts and the soundness of his conclusions. 
The present work will, in this respect, form no exception, but 
will be welcomed by the students of veterinary science in a 
similar appreciative spirit.
