    TTODGE (HUGH L.), M.D., **■-*- Emeritus Professor of Midwifery, &c , in the University of Pennsylvania, Ac. THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OBSTETRICS. Ulus- trated with large lithographic plates containing one hundred and fifty-nine figures from original photographs, and with numerous wood-cuts. In one large and beautifully printed quarto volume of 550 double-columned pages, strongly bound in cloth, $14. The wnrk of Dr. Hodge is something more than a We have examined Professor Hodge's work with •imple presentation of his particular views in the de-igreat satisfaction; every topic Is elaborated moat partinent of Obstetrics; it is something mure than an i fully. The views of the author are comprehensive ordinary treatise on midwifery; it is, in fact, a cyclo- pffidia of midwifery. He has aimed to embody in a single volume the whole science and art of Obstetrics. An elaborate text is combined with accurate and va- ried pictorial illustrations, so that no fact or principle is left unstated or unexplained.—Am. Med. Times, Sept. 3, 1864. We shonld like to analyze the remainder of this excellent work, but already has this review extended beyond our limited space. We cannot conclude this notice without referring to the excellent finish of the work. In typography it is not to be excelled; the paper is superior to what is usually afforded by our American cousins, quite equal to the be-st of English books The engravings and lithographs are most beautifully executed. The work recommends itself for its originality, and is in every way a most valu- able addition to those on the subject of obstetrics.— Oanada M<d Journal, Oct. 1864. It is very large, profusely and elegantly illustrated, and is fitted to take its place near the works of great obstetricians. Of the American work- on the subject and concisely stated. The rules of practice ;ire jtidi- cious, and will enable the practitioner to meet every emergency of obstetric complication with confidence —Chicago Med. Journal, Aug. 1864. More time than we have had at our disposal since we received the great work of Dr Hodge is necessary to do it justice. It is undoubtedly by far the most original, complete, and carefully composed treatise on the principles and practice of Obstetric- which hat ever been issued from the American press.—Pacific Med. and Surg. Journal, July, 1S64. We have read Dr. Hodge's book with great pie*, sure, and have much satisfaction in expressing onr commendation of it as a whole. It i* certainly highly instructive, and in the main, we believe, correct. The great attention which the author has devoted to the mechanism of parturition, taken along with the con- clusions at which he has arrived, point, we think, conclusively to the fact that, in Britain at least, the doctrines of Naegele have been too blindly received, _. —Glasgow Med. Journal, Oct. 1864. Itisdecidedly thebest — Edivh Med Jour., Dec.

ON THE SIGNS ANT) DISEASES OF PKTCftNANCY. First, American from the Second and Enlarged English Edition. With four colored plates and illustrations on wood. In one handsome octavo volume of about 500 pages, cloth, $4 25. T The very thorough revision the work b&8 undergone has added greatly to its practical value, andiucreaned materially it.- efficiency as a guide to the student and to the young practitioner.—Am. Jnurn. Med. Sci., April, 1S68. With the Immense variety of subjects treated of and the ground which they are made to cover, the im- possibiliiy of giving an extended review of thin truly remarkable work must be apparent. We have not a single fault to find with it, and most heartily com mend it to the careful study of every physician who would not only always be sure of his diagnosis of pregnancy, but always ready to treat all the nume- rous ailments that are, unfortunately for the civilized tvomen of to-day, so commonly associated with the function.—.tf. Y. Med. Record, March 16, 1868, We recommeud obstetrical students, young and old, to havt this volume in their collections. It con- tains not onl3 a fair statement of the signs, symptoms, and diseaser of pregnancy, but coinpriseain addition much inteiestiug relative matter that is not to he found in any other work that we can name.—Edin- burgh Me4 Journal, Jan. 1868. s WATXE (JOSEPH GRIFFITHS), M.

It is really a capital little compendium of the sub- answers the purpose. It is not only valnable for Ject, and we recommend young practitioners to buy it [ young beginners, but no one who is not a proficient and carry it with them when called to attend cases of i in the art of obstetrics should be without it, because abor.

The American editor has materially added by his notes aud the concluding chapters to the com- pleteness aud general value of the book.—Chicago Med. Journal, Feb. 1870. The manual before us contains in exceedingly small compass—small enough to carry in the pockei—about nary midwifery practice. We commend the book most favorably.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal. Sept. 10, 1870. A studied perusal of this little book has satisfied us of its eminently practical value. The object of the work, the author says, in his preface, is to give the student a few brief and practical directions respect- ing the management of ordinary cases of labor ; and all there is of obstetrics, condensed into a nutshell of I al8„ t0 poiut 0 t t0 him t extraordinary ca«es when Aphorisms.
