    A second edition of Diseases of the Throat would have appeared several years ago, according to announcement, had not its preparation been interrupted by a series of circumstances over which the author had no control. It is to be hoped that it will be none the worse for having been some time out of print. To the reader familiar with the first edition, considerable change will be apparent in the present one. Some material has been suppressed, some modified or augmented, and some added. Certain illustrations have been discarded, and others introduced. The bibliography has not been reprinted, because it would have sacrificed many pages devoted to clinical use, and has become the less necessary on account of the appearance of copious references in the collateral por- tions of Ziemssen's Cyclopaedia, and the current reports on Laryngology and allied topics supplied for some years by Dr. Knight to the columns of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, and by Prof. LefTerts to those of the New York Medical Journal; while more recent serial con- tributions of a similar character by Dr. Porter to the St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal, and by Dr. Semon to the London Medical Record, and the admirable Index Medicus of Drs. Billings and Fletcher, are addi- tional assurances that there shall be no lack of indicators to sources of information in this branch of professional study. Anatomical consider- ations of special clinical significance have been introduced into the text, as before, at points deemed most useful, and have been still more closely confined to matters as yet unincorporated in the most accessible text-books. Those who read German will find copious clinical disquisi- tions in the various anatomical works of Prof. Luschka; and those who do not, will soon find the deficiency supplied to some extent in the forth- coming treatise of Prof. Allen. Special manipulations, operations, and therapeutic measures are described either when first alluded to, or in connection with the subject matter to which they are most applicable, instead of being consolidated in a separate chapter, as has been done by other writers ;—a plan less systematic, to be sure, but not less likely to
