    NEILL (JOHN), M. D,, Surgeon to tlie Pennsylvania Hospital,&e.; and FRANCIS GURNEY SMITH, M. D,, ProfeBsor of Inslitutes of Medicine in the Pennsylvania Medical Collen-e AN ANALYTICAL COMPENDIUM OF THE VARIOUS bR VNCHFS OF MEDICAL SCIENCE ; for Ihe Use and examination o/ S.ndenl.. Second edition revS and improved. In one very large and handsomely prinloj royal ]2mo. volume of over on^ thousand pages, with three hundred and filty illustrations on wood. Strongly bound in ]fith^r with raised bunds. * ' leuiner, The speedy sale of a large impression of this work has afforded to the authors gralifvin-evidpncc of the correctness of the views which actuated them in its preparation. In mt,e\in^ .he demand for a second edition, they have therelore been desirous to rehrler it more worthy of the fkvor wi^ih which It has been received. I o accomplish this, they have spared neither time nor labor in embo- dying in It such discoveries and improvements a.s have been made since its first aprK-arance and such a terations as have been suggested by its practical use in the class and examination-room Considerable modifications have thus been introduced throughout all the departments treated of in the volume, hut more especially in the portion devoted to the Practice of Medicine which ha been entirely rearranged and rewritten. ' Notwithstanding the enlarged size and improved execution of this work, the price has not been increased, and it is confidently presented as one of the cheapest volumes now before the profession. In the rapid course of lectures, where work for the students is heavy, and review necessary for an examin.'ition, a couipend is not only valuable, but it is almost a sine qua non. The one before us is, in most of the divisions, the most unexceptionable of all books of the kind that we know of. The newest and soundest doctrines and the latest im- provements and discoveries are explicitly, thou-h concisely, laid before the student. Of course it^is useless for us to recommend it to all last course students, but there is a class to whom we very sincerely commend this cheap book as worth its weight in silver —that class is the graduates in medicine of more than ten years' standing, who have not studied medicine since. They will perhaps find out from it that the science is not exactly now what it was when they left it off.—The Stet/ioscope Having made free use of this volume in our ex- aminations of pupils, we can spi-uk from experi- ence in recommending it as an admiralde compend for students, and as especially useful to preceptors who examine their pupils. It will save the teacher nmch labor by enabling him readily to recall all of the points upon which his pupils should be ex- amined. A work of this sort should be in the hands of every one who takes pupils into his office with a viewof examining them ; and this is unquestionably the best of its class. Let every practitioner who has pupils provide himself with it, and he will find the labor of refreshing his knowledge so much facilitated that he will be able to do justice to his pupils at very little cost of time or trouble to himself.—TraKiyZ- vania Med, Journal.
