    PRESS NOTICES OF THE SECOND EDITION OF A SYSTEM OF MEDICINE VOLUME I LANCET.—“Considerable alterations have been made in the arrange- ment of the subjects dealt with in this volume, several new articles have been added, others have been transferred to later volumes, and yet others have been modified or extended, with the result that it is larger than its predecessor by over two hundred pages. ... As a whole, the work is one of which the profession of medicine in this country may well be proud, and one which, like its predecessor, will be of great value to the investigator and the prac- titioner who desires to keep himself informed of the advances in medical knowledge and to have the current state of that knowledge conveniently summarised.” NATURE.—“Altogether this volume commands admiration, and if its high standard be maintained, as it doubtless will be, in the succeeding volumes, this System of Medicine will form a lasting monument of the high place which British medicine holds at the present time.” VOLUME II.—PART I BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL.—“Some of the articles have only been revised and brought up to date by their authors, others have been entirely rewritten, while a certain number are quite new. The same thorough- ness of treatment characterises them all. . . . The new instalment of the System will thus be seen to be as full and complete a work of reference as the most expert writers and the most discriminating of editors can make it. ... A work which presents a trustworthy compendium of all that is really known upon the subjects with which it deals.” MEDICAL CHRONICLE.—“The whole volume is most excellent.” VOLUME II.—PART II BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL.—“ The list of contributors, thirty-three in number, contains the names of so many eminent authorities that the different articles should represent the standard of our knowledge of them at the present day. . . . We should have liked to mention some of the articles throughout the volume in detail, but space will not permit; it is sufficient to say that the hope of the editors that the volume will serve as a complete work on tropical medicine has been realised ; it should, in fact, become the standard of the subject in the English language, both as a book of reference and for study.” EDINBURGH MEDICAL JOURNAL.— The editors are to be congratulated on the production of an excellent work, which, containing in a compact form such a mass of information with copious references to the literature on the various subjects, should prove invaluable not only to students of tropica] medicine, but to practitioners at home and abroad.”
