    H ARTSHORNE [HENRY), M.D., Professor of Bytfiene in (he Univer/ftty of Pennsylvania. ESSENTIALS OF THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OP MEDL CINE. A handy-book for Students and Practitioners. In one handsome royal ]2mo. volume of about 350 pages, clearly printed on small type, cloth, $2 3S; half bound, $2 63. (Just Iss/ied.) The very cordial reception with which this work has met shows that the author has fully suc- ceeded in his attempt to condense within a convenient compass the essential points of scientific and practical medicine, so as to meet the wants not only of the student, but also of the practi- tioner who desires to acquaint himself with the results of recent advances in medical science. nearly than any similar manual lately before us the standard at which all such books should aim — of teaching much, and suggesting more. To the student we can heartily recommend the work of our transat- lantic colleague, and the busy practitioner, we are sure, will fiud in it the means of solving many a doubt, and will rise from the perusal of its pages, having gained clearer views to guide him in his daily struggle with disease.—Dub. Med. Press, Oct. 2, 1S67. Pocket haudbooks of medicine are not desirable, even when they are as carefully and elaborately com- piled as this, the latest, most complete, and most ac- curate which we have seen.—British Mtd. Journal, Sept. 21, 1867. This work of Dr. Hartshorne must not be confound- ed with the medical manuals so generally to be found, in the hands of students, serving them at best but as blind guides, better adapted to lead them astray than to any useful and reliable knowledge. The work be- fore us presents a careful synopsis of the essential elements of the theory of diseased action, its causes, phenomena1 and results, and of the art of healing, as recognized by the most authoritative of our profes- sional writers and teachers. A very careful and can- did examination of the volume has convinced us that As a strikingly terse, full, and comprehensive em- bodiment in a condensed form of the essentials in medical science and art, we hazard nothing in saying that it is incomparably in advance of any work of the kind of the past, and will staud long in the future without a rival. A mere glance will, we think, im- press others with the correctness of our estimate. Nor do we believe there will be found many who, after the most cursory examination, will fail to possess it. How one could be able to crowd so much that is valu- able, especially to the student and young practitioner, within the limits of so small a book, and yet embrace and present all that is important in a well-arranged, clear form, convenient, satisfactory for reference, with so full a ^able of contents, and extended general index, with nearly three hundred formulas and recipes, is a marvel.— Western Journal of Medicine, Aug. 1867. The little book before us has this quality, and we can therefore say that all students will find it an in- valuable guide in their pursuit of clinical medicine Dr. Hartshorne speaks of it as an unambitious effort to make useful the experience of twenty years of pri- vate and hospital medical practice, with its attendant study and reflection. That the effort will prove suc- cessful we have no doubt, and in his study, and at the bedside, the student will find Dr. Hartshorne a j it will be generally recognized as one of the best man- safe and accomplished companion. We speak thus [ uals for the use of the student that has yet appeared, highly of the volume, because it approaches more ! —America?i Journal Med. Sciences, Oct. 1S67. TJZATSON (THOMAS), M. D., Sec LECTURES ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PHYSIC. Delivered at King's College, London. A new American, from the last revised and enlarged English edition, with Additions, by D. Francis Condie, M. D., author of A Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Children, &c. With one hundred and eighty- five illustrations on wood. In one very large and handsome volume, imperial octavo, of over 1200 closely printed pages in small type; extra cloth, §6 50 ; strongly bound in leather, with raised bands, $7 50. Believing this to be a work which should lie on the table of every physician, and be in the hands of every student, every effort has been made to condense the vast amount of matter which it con- tains within a convenient compass, and at a very reasonable price, to place it within reach of all. In its present enlarged form, the work contains the matter of at least three ordinary octavos, rendering it one of the cheapest works now offered to the American profession, while its mechani- cal execution makes it an exceedingly attractive volume.

(ISoiv Ready.) • Dr. Fuller's work on diseases of the chest was so. favorably received, that to many who did not know the extent of his engagements, it was a matter of won- der that it should be allowed to remain three years out of print. Determined, however, to improve it, Dr. Fuller would not consent to a mere reprint, and accordingly we have what might be with perfect jus- tice styled an entirely new work from his peu, the portion of the work treating of the heart aud great vessels being excluded. Nevertheless, this volume is of almost equal size with the first.—London Medical Ti'nes and Gazette, July 2C, 1867.
