    ASHHURST {JOHN, Jr.), M.D., Stirgeon to the Ejyiscnpnl Hospital, Philadelptiia. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF SURGERY. In one very large and handsome octaA'o volume of about ]OflO pages, with nearly 550 illustrations, extra cloth, $fi 50; leather, raised bands, $7 50. {Just Js.iuerl.) The object of the author has been to present, within as condensed a compass as possible, a complete treatise on Surgery in all its branches, suitable both as a text-book for the student and a work of reference for the practitioner. So much has of late years been done for the advance- ment of Surgical Art and Science, that there seemed to be a want of a work which should present the latest aspects of every subject, and which, by its American character, should render accessible to the profession at large the experience of the practitioners of both hemispheres. This has been the aim of the author, and it is hoped that the volume will be found to fulfil its purpose satisfac- torily. The plan and general outline of the work will be seen by the annexed CONDENSED SUMMARY OF CONTENTS. Chapter I. Inflammation. II. Treatment of Inflammation. III. Operations in general: Ana?sthetics.

Its author has evidently tested the writings and experiences of the past and present in the crucible of a careful, analytic, and honorable mind, and faith- fully endeavored to bring his work up to the level of the highest standard of practical surgery He is frank and definite, and gives us opinions, and gene- rally sound ones, instead of a mere resume of the opinions of others. He is conservative, bat not hide- bound by authority. His style is clear, elegant, and scholarly. The wcrk is anadmirable text book, and a useful book of reference It is a credit to American professional literature, and one of the first ripe fruits of the soil fertilized by the blood of our late unhappy war.—i?^. r. Med. Record, Feb. 1, 1872. Indeed, the work as a whole must be regarded as an excellent and concise exponent of modern sur- gery, and as such it will be found a valuable text- book for the student, and a useful book of reference for the general practitioner.—N. Y. Med. Journal, Feb. 1872. It gives us great pleasure to call the attention of the profession to this excellent work. Our knowledge of its talented and accomplished author led us to expect from him a very valuable treatise upon subjects to which he has repeatedly given evidence of having pro- fitably devoted much time and labor, and we are in no way disappointed.—Phila.

As a whole, the work is without an equal in the litera- ture of the profession.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journ., Oct. 12, 1871. It is unnecessary at this time to commend the book, except to such as are beginners in the study of this particular branch of surgery. Every practical sur- geon in this country and abroad knows of it as a most trustworthy guide, and one which they, in common with us, would unqualifiedly recommend as the high- est authority in any language.—N.
