    PRESS NOTICES OF THE SECOND EDITION OF VOLUME I LANCET.—As a whole, the work is one of which the profession of medicine in this country may well be proud, and one which, like its predecessor, will be of great value to the investigator and the practitioner who desires to keep himself informed of the advances in medical knowledge and to have the current state of that knowledge conveniently summarised. NATURE.—Altogether this volume commands admiration, and if its high standard be maintained, as it doubtless will be, in the succeeding volumes, this System of Medicine will form a lasting monument of the high place which British medicine holds at the present time. VOLUME IL—PART I BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL.—''The new instalment of the System will thus be seen to be as full and complete a work of reference as the most expert writers and the most discriminating of editors can make it. . . . A work which presents a trustworthy compendium of all that is really known upon the subjects with which it deals. SCOTTISH MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL.—''It is impossible in the short limits of this review to attempt to do justice to the great value of Dr. AUbutt's System. Every article which it contains is worthy of a prolonged consideration. We can only conclude by wishing the second edition the same success which has been so signally attained by the first, and by suggesting that even those who possess the first edition will do well to secure the second, which, as we have endeavoured to show, is to all intents and purposes a new book. VOLUME IL—PART II ' BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL.—It is sufficient to say that the hope of the editors that the volume will serve as a complete work on tropical medicine has been realised ; it should, in fact, become the standard of the subject in the English language, both as a book of reference and for study. EDINBURGH MEDICAL JOURNAL.— As the subjects are treated in the exhaustive manner characteristic of this system of medicine, with the matter thoroughly up to date, it will be eagerly welcomed by all interested in these branches of medicine. . . . The editors are to be con- gratulated on the production of an excellent work, which, containing in a compact form such a mass of information with copious references to the literature on the various subjects, should prove invaluable not only to students of tropical medicine, but to practitioners at home and abroad.
