    of the Diseases of Women at University College Hospital, during a period of over four years. These observations impart a clinical character to the work, which may be useful from other points of view. The arrangement of the first edition of this work, devised to facilitate the study of the subject, particularly the Diagnosis, was somewhat modified in the second edition, and has been very much modified in the present issue. The work has now been made more systematic from a pathological point of view, while the special feature, the particular attention to Diagnosis, which perhaps had some influence in rendering the early edition accept- able, has not been in any essential degree sacrificed. About twenty new illustrations are added to the present edi- tion. The illustrations in the work are for the most part original, and the greater part of them carefully-planned representations of cases which have been under my own observation in the wards of University College Hospital and elsewhere. These were in the first instance carefully drawn in outline, life-size, by myself, subsequently reduced by the camera, and made to assume their present form by the artistic hands of the late Mr. Bagg. The attempt has here been made by means of two sectional views of the same object to convey a more exact idea of the size and re- lations of certain pelvic tumors. Some of the illustrations (eight) are from original drawings by Dr. Arthur Farre, in Todd's Cy- clopaedia of Anatomy and Physiology, article Uterus. The sources of a few from other publications are duly indicated. The present edition contains representations of a few instruments drawn, in order to insure accuracy, from photographs. G.
