    DR. WILLIAMS, F.R.S. PROFESSOR. OF THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. FBINCIPEES OF MEDICINE ; comprehending General Pathology and Therapeutics. Demy 8vo. cloth, 12*-. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. THE PATHOLOGY AND DIAGNOSIS OF DISEASES OF THE CHEST; illustrated chiefly by a Rational Exposition of their Physical Signs. Fourth Edition, with much important new- matter. Plates. 8vo. cloth, 1 Os. 6d. The fact that a fourth edition is called for is a very good argument in favour of any book. But this was not necessary in the case of Dr. Williams; it was well known to the profession as one of the best manuals of diseases of the chest we possess.—Dublin Medical Journal. MR. ERASMUS WILSON, LECTURER ON ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY AT THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. DISEASES OF THE SKIN; a Practical and Theoretical Treatise on the DIAGNOSIS, PATHOLOGY, and TREATMENT of CUTANEOUS DISEASES, arranged according to a Natural System of Classification, and preceded by an Outline of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin. 8vo. cloth, 10s. 6d. Extract from Preface. Such is a brief sketch of the scheme, which I propose to designate a Natural System of Classification of Diseases of the Skin, and I trust that its clearness and simplicity will be the means of rendering a branch of medical science, which has hitherto with much reason been regarded as obscure and con- fused, intelligible and precise. .. .The basis of the Natural System of classification rests upon Anatomy and Physiology, and herein lies its strength, its easy applica- tion, and its truth. The Dermis and its dependencies, its glands and its follicles, are the undoubted seat of all the changes which characterize cutaneous pathology.'' We have now reached the conclusion of the volume, and our perusal has been both agreeable and instructive. The book is not written for a day, but for an age, the style is good and precise, the language well selected, and the information which it contains, genuine and copious. We think it adapted to cast a new light on the pathology and treatment of diseases on the skin, and to form an admirable guide to the medical practitioner, to whom and to the student we warmly recommend it. —Dr. Johnson's Review. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. THE ANATOMIST'S VADE-MECUM; A SYSTEM OF HUMAN ANATOMY. With One Hundred and Sixty-eight Illustrations on Wood. Second Edition. Fcap. 8vo. cloth, 12s. 6d. This is probably the prettiest medical book ever published, and we believe its intrinsic merits are in keeping with its exterior advantages, having examined it sufficiently to satisfy us that it may be recommended to the student as no less distinguished by its accuracy and clearness of description than by its typographi- cal elegance. The wood-cuts are exquisite.—British and Foreign Medical. Renew. 98 London: Printed by W. Ulanchard and Sons, Warwick I.mr.
