    RECOMMENDATIONS. The Publishers have received the following testimonials from the only pro- fessional gentlemen to whom they have yet had an opportunity of submitting this American edition:— To Messrs. J. <$f J. Harper. Gentlemen,—-We have examined your new and accurate edition of Cooper s Surgical Dictionary, and are highly gratified with the superiority of the paper and with the typographical execution, so creditable to your taste and libe- rality. The numerous and valuable additions of our fellow-practitioner, Dr. Reese , embracing, as they do, most of the surgical improvements which have originated in our country, admirably adapt it to the wants and wishes of American students; who will find all the greater operations performed in different parts of the United States, suitably noticed in the body of the work. The arduous task of condensing so much practical information within brief limits, has, in our opinion, been ably and impartially performed, and entitle Dr. Reese to the thanks of the profession. We heartily wish you success in the laudable efforts you are making to ele- vate the standard of American literature and science; and hope, that so far as those efforts are directed to our department, you may be liberally rewarded among the profession by extensive patronage.

PEIXOTTO, M.D. President of the Medical Society of the City and County of New-York. New-York, August26, 1830. The sixth edition of that very valuable work, entitled Cooper's Surgical Dic- tionary, has been reprinted by the Messrs. Harpers in a very neat and accurate manner. The notes by Dr. Reese evince great research, and an earnest desire to present every important American improvement fairly before the public. We wish them success in their undertaking, and cheerfully recommend the work to the patronage of the profession. ALEX. H. STEVENS, M.D. Professor of Surgery in the University of New-York. J.
