CRITICAL NOTICES. Dr. Little presents us with a great deal of matter possessing both novelty and interest. The drawings interspersed throughout the work, exhibiting the relative appearance of the various distortions, both before and after operation, are cleverly executed, and form a very valuable addition to his treatise.—British and Foreign Medical Review. Dr. Little's treatise contains a most comprehensive and complete description of the causes, varieties, and treatment of club-foot. We recommend it to the atten- tion of surgeons and heads of families.—Lancet. Dr. Little's treatise will be consulted by every operator, and is unquestionably one of the most useful books of the season.—London Medical Gazette. This volume altogether is beyond question the best monograph, foreign or English, upon the subject, containing, as it does, not only the opinions and practice of continental writers, but the valuable additions made by Dr. Little to this branch of science.—The Medical Times. It only remains for us to express our good opinion of the manner in which Dr. Little has performed his task. This book will prove a very useful one, and we recommend it in strong terms to the profession.—Medico-Chirurgical Revieiv. &
