Notwithstanding the numerous and attractive works which have of late been issued on the Practice of Physic, these volumes keep their place as a standard text-book for the student, and manual of reference for the practitioner. The care with which the author embodies everything of value from all sources, the industry with which all discoveries of interest or importance are summed up in succeeding editions, the excellent order and system which is everywhere manifested, and the clear and intelligible style in which his thoughts are presented, render his works universal favorites with the profession. “In the volumes before us, Dr. Dunglison has proved that his acquaintance with the present facts and doctrines, wheresoever originating, is most extensive and intimate, and the judgment, skill, and impartiality with which the materials of the work have been collected, weighed, arranged, and exposed, are strikingly manifested in every chapter. Great care is everywhere taken to indicate the source of information, and under the head of treatment, formule of the most appropriate remedies are everywhere introduced. In con- clusion, we congratulate the students and junior practitioners of America on possessing in the present volumes a work of standard merit, to which they may confidently refer in their doubts and difficulties.°— Brit. and For. Med. Rew. “Since the foregoing observations were written, we have received a second edition of Dunglison’s work, @ sufficient indication of the high character it has already attained in America, and justly attained.”— Ibid. “Tn the short space of two years, a second edition of Dr. Dunglison’s Treatise on Special Pathology and Therapeutics has been called for, and is now before the public in the neat and tasteful dress in which Lea & Blanchard issue all their valuable publications. We do not notice the fact for the purpose of passing any 5 ayer eulogy upon this work, which is now too well known to the profession to need the commendation of the press. ~ _ “A cursory examination will satisfy any one, that great labor has been bestowed upon these volumes, and on acareful perusal it will be seen that they exhibit the present state of our knowled e relative to special pathology and therapeutics. The work is justly a great favorite with students of medicine, whose: exigencies the learned author seems especially to have consulted in its preparation.”— Western Jour. of Med. and Surg. j ? .. “This is a work which must at once demand a respectful consideration from the profession, emanating as it does from one of the most learned and indefatigable physicians of our country. .. : “This arrangement will recommend itself to the favorable consideration of all, for simplicity and com- Prehensiveness. We have no space to go into details, and, therefore, conclude by saying, that although isolated defects might be pointed out, yet as a whole, we cheerfully recommend it to the profession, as embracing much important matter which cannot easily be obtained from any other source.”— Western Lancet, - Masse’s Pathological Anatomy. es AN ANATOMICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISEASES OF THE ORGANS OF CIRCULATION AND RESPIRATION. .
