    United States, it was here that they were brought to their present high state of perfection. Although interesting only in a physiological point of view, F. Cuvier’s work should not be passed without notice. It was published in 1825, and treats upon the teeth of mammiferous animals considered in their zoological characters. It is illustrated with one hundred plates. The Art of Directing the Second Dentition, by Miel, is the title of a work published in 1826, and in 1828 a treatise was published on the Comparative Anatomy of the Teeth of Man and other Animals, by Rousseau, and is one of the best works extant upon the subject. It is well written, and character- ized by great depth of research. Rousseau is also the author of a small Treatise on First and Second Dentition, which was published in 1820. Maurv is the author of a Treatise on Dental Surgery, which has passed through several editions in France; it has also recently been translated into English by Dr. J. B.

This work, though not large, deserves to be ranked among the first upon the subject. A work on the Theory and Practice of Dental Surgery, by Lefoulon, was published in 1841. It contains between five and six hundred pages, and a translation of it by Professor Bond, is now in the course of publication in the American Journal of Dental Science. I shall notice at this time but one other French work, and that is a Treatise on the Treatment of Irregularity of Teeth, by Schange. It was published in 1842. To the foregoing works, many more might be added, but these will suffice to show the progress which the science and art of Dental Surgery has made in France during the last forty-five years. The French have written much upon the subject, and have contributed greatly to its advancement; they were its earliest and for a long time its most zealous cultivators. Leaving the French School, I shall proceed to examine very briefly, the progress which it has made during the same time in Great Britain. The publication of Dr. Blake’s “ Inaugural Dis-
