FIELD-POSTHUMOUS EXTRACTS FROM THE VETERI- NARY RECORDS of the late JOHN FIELD. Edited by his Brother, William Field, Veterinary Surgeon, London. 8vo. 8s. boards. A collection of remarkable cases ot disease in the horse, observed by the late Mr. Field, during his extensive practice; with a few papers on particular diseases, either read before the Veterinary Medical Society, or, seemingly, sketched with that end in view. To pass a de- cided judgment on the veterinary value of the volume, is beyond our power; but the cases appear to be noted with a scrupulous accuracy, and described with great clearness in their symptoms, treatment, anil post-mortem examination. We should conceive the work likely to be of considerable utility to veterinary surgeons,—who, lucky people, do not as yet appear overburdened with books on their business; and not without interest to the medical prac- titioner, who would study comparative surgery, as well as comparative anatomy.

During the two months Dr. Graham passed at or near Graefenberg, he had ample oppor- tunities of investigating the nature of the treatment pursued by Preissnitz, the class of persons who constitute his patients, and the results which are obtained ; and of these opportunities he availed himself to the utmost. His book is certainly the most scientific and most impartial, and yet the most merciless ejrpost of the Graefenberg fraud that we have met with; the most complete history that has appeared, not only of hydropathy as practised by the followers of Preissnitz, but as practised by Floyer, Baynard, Currie, &c.—Lancet.
