It is curious to note that only the names of some things are new ; as (for instance), the term “ bridge-work,” though heading a long and elaborate chapter in this edition, is not to be found in previous ones: but the idea itself is well described in former issues, less elaborated, among “ partial dentures,” &c. In this class of work the “ operative,” or almost purely surgical, and the “mechanical” are often inseparable; and so much space is devoted to it that we are surprised at the total omission of reference to regulating devices, though the mechanical treatment of palatal defects is considered at length. But for the fullest information on all subjects treated, we should consider this valuable compilation indispensable. MINOR NOTICES AND CRITICAL ABSTRACTS.

And while^I «pres.de„. .his shall be object, so far asl”lXe snhii?V ™yself unwise if I do not take for the mi that kind of knowledge in which alone I them, and might be amusing and flattering
