The publishers are happy in being able at length to present to the profession this great work, which they are assured will be regarded as an honor to the medical literature of the country. As the result of many years of personal observation and study, as embodying an intelligent résumé of all that has been written regarding the disease, and as exhausting the subject in all its various aspects, these volumes must at once take the position of the standard authority and work of reference on the many important questions brought into consideration. A monument of intelligent and well applied research, almost without example. It is, indeed, in itself. a large library, and is destined to constitute the special resort as a book of reference, in the subject of which it treats, to all future time. We have not time at present, engaged as we are, by day and by night, in the work of combating this very disease, now prevailing in our city, to do more than give this cursory notice of what we consider as undoubtedly the most able and erudite medical publication our country has yet produced But in view of the startling fact, that this, the most malig. nant and unmanageable disease of modern times, has for several years been prevailing in our country to a greater extent than ever before; that it is no longer confined to either large or small cities, but penetrates country villages, plantations, and farmhouses; that it is treated with scarcely better success now than thirty or forty years ago; that there is vast mischief done by ignorant pretenders to know ledge in regard to the disease, and in view of the probability that a majority of southern physicians will be called upon to treat the disease, we trust that this able and comprehensive treatise will he very generally read in the south.-Memphis Med. Recorder. This is decidedly the great American medical work of the day-a full, complete, and systematic treatise, unequaled by any other upon the all-important subject of Yellow Fever. The laborious, indefatigable, and learned author has devoted to it many years of arduous research and careful study, and the result is such as will reflect the highest honor upon the author and our country.-Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. The genius and scholarship of this great physician could not have been better employed than in the erection of this towering monument to his own fame, and to the glory of the medical literature of his own country. It is destined to remain the great authority upon the subject of Yellow Fever. The student and physician will find in these volumes a résumé of the sum total of the knowledge of the world upon the awful scourge which they so elaborately discuss. The style is so soft and so pure as to refresh and inVigorate the mind while absorbing the thoughts of the gifted author, while the publishers have sacceeded in bringing the externals into a most felicitous harmony with the inspiration that dwells within. Take it all in all, it is a book we have often dreamed of, but dreamed not that it would ever meet our waking eye as a tangible reality.-Nashville Journal of Medicine. We deem it fortunate that the splendid work of Dr. La Roche should have been issued from the press at this particular time. The want of a reliable di gest of all that is known in relation to this frightful malady has long been felt-a want very satisfactorily met in the work before us. We deem it but faint praise to say that Dr. La Roche has succeeded in presenting the profession with an able and complete monograph, one which will find its way into every well ordered library.-Va. Stethoscope. Although we have no doubt that controversial treatises on the mode of origin and propagation of the fever in question will, as heretofore, occasionally appear, yet it must be some time before another sys tematic work can arise in the face of so admirable and carefully executed a one as the present. It is a mine of information, quite an encyclopædia of references, and résumé of knowledge relative to what has been recorded upon the subject.-London Lancet.

Adopting a system of his own, the author has combined the leading principles of his interesting and difficult subject, with a thorough exposition of its rules of practice, presenting the results of long and extensive experience and of familiar acquaintance with all the modern writers on this department of medicine. As an American Treatise on Midwifery, which has at once assumed the position of a classic, it possesses peculiar claims to the attention and study of the practitioner and student, while the numerous alterations and revisions which it has undergone in the present edition are shown by the great enlargement of the work, which not only increased as to the size of the page, but also in the number.

The gratifying appreciation of his labors, as evinced by the exhaustion of two large impressions of this work within a few years, has not been lost upon the author, who has endeavored in every way to render it worthy of the favor with which it has been received. The opportunity thus afforded for a second revision has been improved, and the work is now presented as in every way superior to its predecessors, additions and alterations having been made whenever the advance of science has rendered them desirable. The typographical execution of the work will also be found to have undergone a similar improvement, and the work is now confidently presented as in every way worthy the position it has acquired as the standard American text-book on the Diseases of Females. It contains a vast amount of practical knowledge, | such bold relief, as to produce distinct impressions by one who has accurately observed and retained upon the mind and memory of the reader. - The the experience of many years, and who tells the reBult in a free, familiar, and pleasant manner.-DubCharleston Med.

There is an off-hand fervor, a glow, and a warmheartedness infecting the effort of Dr. Meigs, which is entirely captivating, and which absolutely hurries the reader through from beginning to end.

The object of the author in this work has been to present in a small compass the practical results of his long experience in this important and distressing class of diseases. The great changes introduced into practice, and the accessions to our knowledge on the subject, within the last few years, resulting from the use of the metroscope, brings within the ordinary practice of every physician numerous cases which were formerly regarded as incurable, and renders of great value a work like the present combining practical directions for diagnosis and treatment with an ample series of illustrations, copied accurately from colored drawings made by the author, after nature.

The treatise of Dr. Mackenzie indisputably holds | the first place, and forms, in respect of learning and research, an Encyclopædia unequalled in extent by any other work of the kind, either English or foreign. -Dixon on Diseases of the Eye. Few modern books on any department of medicine or surgery have met with such extended circulation, or have procured for their authors a like amount of European celebrity. The immense research which it displayed, the thorough acquaintance with the subject, practically as well as theoretically, and the able manner in which the author's stores of learning and experience were rendered available for general use, at once procured for the first edition, as well on the continent as in this country, that high position as a standard work which each successive edition has more firmly established, in spite of the attractions of several rivals of no mean ability. This, the fourth edition, has been in a great measure re-written; new matter, to the extent of one hundred and fifty pages, has been added, and in several instances formerly expressed opinions have been modified in accordance with the advances in the science which have been made of late years. Nothing worthy of repetition upon any branch of the subject appears to have escaped the author's notice. We consider it the duty of every one who has the love of his profession and the welfare of his patient at heart, to make himself familiar with this the most complete work in the English language upon the diseases of the eye. -Med. Times and Gazette. The fourth edition of this standard work will no doubt be as fully appreciated as the three former editions. It is unnecessary to say a word in its praise, for the verdict has already been passed upon it by the most competent judges, and "Mackenzie on the Eye" has justly obtained a reputation which it is no figure of speech to call world-wide.-British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review. This new edition of Dr. Mackenzie's celebrated treatise on diseases of the eye, is truly a miracle of industry and learning. We need scarcely say that he has entirely exhausted the subject of his specialty. Dublin Quarterly Journal. MILLER (JAMES), F. R. S. E., PRINCIPLES OF SURGERY. 23 Edinburgh edition. In one large and very beautiful volume, leather, of 700 pages, with two Fourth American, from the third and revised hundred and forty exquisite illustrations on wood. (Now Ready, 1856.) $3 75. The extended reputation enjoyed by this work will be fully maintained by the present edition. Thoroughly revised by the author, it will be found a clear and compendious exposition of surgical Science in its most advanced condition. In connection with the recently issued third edition of the author's "Practice of Surgery," it forms a very complete system of Surgery in all its branches. The work of Mr. Miller is too well and too favorably known among us, as one of our best text-books, to render any further notice of it necessary than the announcement of a new edition, the fourth in our country, a proof of its extensive circulation among us. As a concise and reliable exposition of the science of modern surgery, it stands deservedly highwe know not its superior.-Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, May, 1856. The works of Professor Miller are so well known to the profession, that it is unnecessary for us say anything in relation to their general merits. The present edition of his "Principles," however, de. serves a special notice, from the number, variety, and faithfulness of its illustrations. The wood-cuts are beautifully executed, and many of them are new and exceedingly instructive, particularly those illustrating mortification, diseased and fractured bones, and the varieties of aneurism.-Western Lancet, May, 1856. This edition is far superior, both in the abundance and quality of its material, to any of the preceding. We hope it will be extensively read, and the sound principles which are herein taught treasured up for future application.

No encomium of ours could add to the popularity of Miller's Surgery. Its reputation in this country is unsurpassed by that of any other work, and, when taken in connection with the author's Principles of Surgery, constitutes a whole, without reference to which no conscientious surgeon would be willing to practice his art.

In one very large and handsomely printed royal 12mo. volume, of about one thousand pages, with three hundred and seventy-four illustrations on wood. Strongly bound in leather, with raised bands. (Now Ready, 1856.) $3 00. The very flattering reception which has been accorded to this work, and the high estimate placed upon it by the profession, as evinced by the constant and increasing demand which has rapidly exhausted two large editions, have stimulated the authors to render the volume in its present revision more worthy of the success which has attended it. It has accordingly been thoroughly examined, and such errors as had on former occasions escaped observation have been corrected, and whatever additions were necessary to maintain it on a level with the advance of science have been introduced. The extended series of illustrations has been still further increased and much improved, while, by a slight enlargement of the page, these various additions have been incorporated without increasing the bulk of the volume. The work is, therefore, again presented as eminently worthy of the favor with which it has hitherto been received. As a book for daily reference by the student requiring a guide to his more elaborate text-books, as a manual for preceptors desiring to stimulate their students by frequent and accurate examination, or as a source from which the practitioners of older date may easily and cheaply acquire a knowledge of the changes and improvement in professional science, its reputation is permanently established. In the rapid course of lectures, where work for the students is heavy, and review necessary for an examination, a compend is not only valuable, but it is almost a sine qua non. The one before us is, in most of the divisions, the most unexceptionable of all books of the kind that we know of. The newest and soundest doctrines and the latest improvements and discoveries are explicitly, though concisely, laid before the student. Of course it is useless for us to recommend it to all last course students, but there is a class to whom we very sincerely commend this cheap book as worth its weight in silver-that class is the graduates in medicine of more than ten years' standing, who have not studied medicine since. They will perhaps find out from it that the science is not exactly now what it was when they left it off.-The Stethoscope We recommend it to our readers as the best work of the kind with which we are acquainted.—Med. Examiner, April, 1856. Having made free use of this volume in our examinations of pupils, we can speak from experience in recommending it as an admirable compend for students, and as especially useful to preceptors who examine their pupils. It will save the teacher much labor by enabling him readily to recall all of the points upon which his pupils should be examined. A work of this sort should be in the hands of every one who takes pupils into his office with a view of examining them; and this is unquestionably the best of its class.-Transylvania Med. Journal. NELIGAN (J. MOORE), M. D., M. R. I.A., &c. ATLAS OF CUTANEOUS DISEASES. In one beautiful quarto volume, extra cloth, with splendid colored plates, presenting nearly one hundred elaborate representations of disease. $4 50. This beautiful volume is intended as a complete and accurate representation of all the varieties of Diseases of the Skin. While it can be consulted in conjunction with any work on Practice, it has especial reference to the author's "Treatise on Diseases of the Skin," so favorably received by the profession some years since. The publishers feel justified in saying that no more beautifully executed plates have ever been presented to the profession of this country. The diagnosis of eruptive disease, however, under all circumstances, is very difficult. Nevertheless Dr. Neligan has certainly, "as far as possible," given a faithful and accurate representation of this class of diseases, and there can be no doubt that these plates will be of great use to the student and practitioner in drawing a diagnosis as to the class, order, and species to which the particular case may belong. While looking over the "Atlas" we have been induced to examine also the "Practical Treatise." This was published in 1852, and we are in clined to consider it a very superior work, combining accurate verbal description, with sound views of the pathology and treatment of eruptive diseases. -Glasgow Medical Journal. The profession owes its thanks to the publishers of Neligan's Atlas of Cutaneous Diseases, for they have placed within its reach and at a moderate cost a most accurate and well delineated series of plates illustrating the eruptive disorders. These plates are all drawn from the life, and in many of them the dagnerreotype has been employed with great success. Such works as these are especially useful to country praetitioners, who have not an opportunity of seeing the rarer forms of cutaneous disease, and hence need the aid of illustrations to give them the requisite information on the subject. With these plates at band, the inexperienced practitioner is enabled to diseri minate with much accuracy, and he is thus, comparatively speaking, put on an equal footing with those who have had the opportunity of visiting the large hospitals of Europe and America.-Va.
