    DUNGLISON (ROBLEY), M.D., Professor of Institutes of Medicine in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY.1 Eighth edition. Thoroughly revised and exten- sively modified and enlarged, with five hundred and thirty-two illustrations. In two large and handsomely printed octavo volumes, extra cloth, of about 1500 pages. $7 00. In revising this work for its eighth appearance, the author has spared no labor to render it worthy a continuance of the very great favor which has been extended to it by the profession. The whole contents have been rearranged, and to a great extent remodelled ; the investigations which of late years have been so numerous and so important, have been carefully examined and incorporated, and the work in every respect has been brought up to a level with the present state of the subject. The object of the author has been to render it a concise but comprehensive treatise, containing the whole body of physiological science, to which the student and man of science can at all times refer with the certainty of finding whatever they are in search of, fully presented in all its aspects; and on no former edition has the author bestowed more labor to secure this result. We believe that it can truly be said, no more com- | plete repertory of facts upon the subject treated, | can anywhere be found. The author lias, moreover, I that enviable tact at description and that facility | and ease of expression which render him peculiarly acceptable to the casual, or the studious reader. This faculty, so requisite in setting forth many graver and less attractive subjects, lends additional charms to one always fascinating.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. The most complete and satisfactory system of Physiology in the English language.—Amer.Med. Journal. The best work of the kind in the English lan- guage.—Silliman’s Journal. The present edition the author has made a perfect mirror of the science as it is at the present hour. As a work upon physiology proper, the science of the functions performed by thebody, thestudent will find it all lie wishes.—Nashville Journ. of Med. That he has succeeded, most admirably succeeded in his purpose, is apparent from the appearance of an eighth edition. It is now the great encyclopaedia on the subject, and worthy of a place in every phy- sician’s library.— Western Lancet. BY the same author. (A new edition.')

Gazette. extensive Additions. In one very large octavo The great learning of the author, and his remark- able industry in pushing his researches into every source whence information is derivable,have enabled him to throw together an extensive mass of facts and statements, accompanied by full reference to authorities; which last feature renders the work practically valuable to investigators who desire to examine the original papers.—The American Journal of Pharmacy.
