    a SIR ASTLEY COOPER, BART. F.R.S. A TREATISE ON DISLOCATIONS AND FRACTURES OF THE JOINTS. A NEW EDITION, MUCH ENLARGED. Epirep BY BRANSBY B. COOPER, F.RS. With 126 Engravings on Wood, by Baae. Octayo, cloth, 20s. “ The demand for this work having required that it should be again committed to the ful task of Editor, which was assigned to me some time prior to the lamented decease of Srr Astizry Coorer....I may be allowed to express the gratification I haye experienced from the sentiments expressed in the mass of correspondence, as well as from the addi- tional cases which have been contributed from various sources since the last edition; as they all tend to form so many various, yet concurrent testimonies to the soundness of the principles which it is the object of this Treatise to inculcate; and much new matter has been added, which was derived from Sir Astley Cooper himself....The reader will find the delineations copied from the quarto edition to be even more graphic and perspicu- ous than the originals; while the illustrations, now for the first time introduced into the work, are equally correct, clear, and expressive. The advantages of such engravings being placed in immediate connexion with the portion of the text which they are intended to elucidate, will not pass unnoticed by those who have felt the inconvenience of having to search at the end of the volume for each plate to which the reference occurs in the text.” ** Although new matter and new illustrations have been added, the price has been reduced from two guineas to twenty shillings. After the fiat of the profession, it would be absurd in us to eulogize Sir Astley Cooper’s work on Fractures and Dislocations. It is a national one, and will probably sub- sist as long as English surgery.’’—Medico-Chirurgical Review. In this work we find the last, the most matured views of its venerable author, who, with unex- ampled zeal, continued to almost the last moment of his life, to accumulate materials for perfecting his works. Every practical surgeon must add the present volume to his library. Its commodious and portable form—no mean consideration—the graphic, the almost speaking force of the unequalled illustrations, the copious addition of valuable and instructive cases, and the great improvement in clearness and precision which has been gained by the judicious arrangement of the materials, all combine to render the present edition indispensable.’’—British and Foreign Medical Review. By the same Author. ON THE STRUGTURE AND DISEASES OF THE TESTIS. ILLUSTRATED WITH TWENTY-FOUR HIGHLY-FINISHED COLOURED PLATES. The Second Edition. Royal 4to. Reduced from £3. 3s. to £1. 10s., or plain Plates, £1. J. CHuRcHILL having purchased of, Mr. Bransby Cooper this splendid work, constituting a monument to Sir Astley Cooper’s memory, has fixed the above low price with a view to its speedy sale; he thinks it best to state, (having received letters of enquiry) that the colouring of the plates, paper and type, will be found superior to the first edition. ‘The republication of this splendid volume supplies a want that has been very severely felt from the exhaustion of the first edition of it. . . .The extraordinary merits of this treatise have been so long and so universally acknowledged, that it would be a work of supererogation to represent them in our pages. The practical surgeon who is not master of its contents, cannot be fully aware of the imperfection of his own knowledge on the subject of diseases of the testicle.’’—British and Foreign Medical Review. ~<S¢ 3 > Sid;
