    TEISHMAN [WILLIAM), 31.1)., Jit gilts Professor of ^ifUhciftrr/ in the Universili/ of Glasgow, &c. A SYSTEM OF MIDWIFERY, INCLUDING THE DISEASES OF PREGNANCY AND THE PUERPEllAL STATE. In one large and very handsome oc- tavo volume of over 700 pages, with one hundred and eighty-two illustrations. Cloth, $5 00 ; leather, $6 00. {Just Ready.) This is one of a most complete aud exhaustive cha- racter. We have goii« carefully thiough it,'aud there is no suliject in Obstetrics which has not been con- sidered well and fully. The result is a work, not ouly admirable as a text-book, but valuable as a work of reference to the practitioner in the various emer- gencies of obstetric practice. Take it all in all, we have no het-itatiouiu saying that it is in our judgment the best English work on the subject.—iondoJtI,a7i- c^t.Aug. 23, 1S73. The work of Leishman gives an excellent view of modern midwifery, and evinces its author's extensive acquaintance with British and foreign literature ; aud not only acquaintance with it, but wholesome diges- tion and sound judgment of it. He has, withal, a manly, free style, and can state a difficult and compli- cated matter with remarkable clearness and brevity. —Bdin. Med. Journ., Sept. 1S73. It was written to supply a desideratum, and we will be much surprised if it does not fulfil the purpose of its author. Taking it as a whole, we know of no work on obstetrics by an English author in which the student and the practitiouer will find theinforinatiou so clear and so completely abreast of the present state of our knowledge on tlie a ah] 6ct.— GUisgoio Med. Journ., Aug. 1ST3. Dr. Leishman's System of Midwifery, which has only just been published, will go far to supply the want which has so long been felt, of a really good modern English text-book. Although large, as is in- evitable in a work on so extensive a subject, it is so well and clearly written, that it is never wearisome to read. Dr. Leishman's work may be confidently recommended as an admirable text-book, and is sure to be Itirgely atied.—Lond, Med. Record, Sept. 1S73. R AMSBOTHAM [FRANCIS H.), M.D. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRIC MEDL CINE AND SURGERY, in reference to the Process of Parturition. A new and enlarged edition, thoroughly revised by the author. With additions by W. V. Keating, M. D., Professor of Obstetrics, <tc., in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. In one large and handsome imperial octavo volume of 650 pages, strongly bound in leather, with raised bands ; with sixty-four beautiful plates, and numerous wood-cuts in the text, containing in all nearly 200 large and beautiful figures. $7 00. To the physician's library it is Indispensable, while to the student, as a text-book, from which to extract the material for laying the foundation of an education on obstetrical science, it has no superior.—Ohio Med. and Surg. Joxirnal. When we call to mind the toil we underwent in acquiring a knowledge of this subject, we cannot but envy the student of the present day the aid which this work will afford Mm.—Am. Jour, of the Med. Sciences. We will only add that the student will learn from It all lie need to know, and the practitioner will find It, as a book of reference, surpassed by none other.— Stethoscope. The character and merits of Dr. Eamsbotham's work are so well known and thoroughly established, that comment is unnecessary and praise superfluous. The illustrations, which are numerous and accurate, are executed in the highest style of art. We cannot too highly recommend the work to our readers.—St. Louis Med. and^ Surg. Journal. fJHURCEILL [FLEETWOOD), M.D., M.R.LA. OX THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MIDWIFERY. Anew American from the fourth revised and enlarged London edition. With notes and additions by D. Francis Condie, M. D., author of a Practical Treatise on the Diseases of Chil- dren,'' &c. With one hundred and ninety-four illustrations. In one very handsome octavo volume of nearly 700 large pages. Extra cloth, $4 00 ; leather, $5 00. These additions render the work still more com- plete and acceptable than ever; and with the excel- lent style in which the publishers have presented this edition of Churchill, we can commend it to the profession with great cordiality and pleasure.—Cin- cinnati Lancet. Few works on tUis branch of medical science are equal to it, certainly none excel it, whether in regard to theory or practice, and in one respect it is superior to all others, viz., in its statistical information, and therefore, on these grounds a most valuable work for the physician, student, or lecturer, all of whom will find in it the information whieh they are seeking.— Brit. Am. Journal. The present treatise is very much enlarged and amplified beyond the previous editions but nothing has been added which could be well dispensed with. An examination of the table of contents shows how thoroughly the author has gone over the ground, and the care he has taken in the text to present the sub- jects in all their bearings, will render this new edition even more necessary to the obstetric student than were either of the former editions at the date of their appearance. No treatise on obstetrics with which we are acquainted can compare favorably with this, in respect to the amount of material which has been gathered from every source.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. There is no better text-book for students, or work of reference and study for the practising physician than this. It should adorn and enrich every medical library.—Chicago Med. Journal.
