(Just Issued.) era physiological science, both human and compara- tive, with which we are acquainted. To speak of this work in the terras ordinarily used on such occa- sions would not be agreeable to ourselves, and would fail to do justice 10 its author. To write such a book requires a varied and wide range of knowledge, con- siderable power of analysis, correct judgment, skill in arrangement, and conscientious spirit. It must have entailed great labor, but now that the task has been fulfilled, the book will prove not only invaluable to the student of medicine and surgery, but service- able to all candidates in natural science examinations, . to teachers in schools, and to the lover of nature gene- rally. In conclusion, we can only express the con- viction that the merits of the work will command for it that success which the ability and vast labor dis- played in its production so well deserve.—London Lancet, Feb. 22, 1868. If the possession of knowledge, and peculiar apti- tude and skill in expounding it, qualify a man to write au educational work, Mr. Marshall's treatise might be reviewed favorably without even opening the covers. There are few, if any, more accomplished anatomists and physiologists than the distinguished professor of surgery at University College ; and he has long enjoyed the highest reputation as a teacher of physiology, possessing remarkable powers of clear exposition and graphic illustration. We have rarely the pleasure of being able to recommend a text-book so unreservedly as this.— British Med. Journal, Jan. 25, 1868. In fact, in every respect, Mr. Marshall has present- ed us with a most complete, reliable, and scientific work, and we feel that it is worthy our warmest commendation.—St. Louis Med. Reporter, Jan. 186.9. This is an elaborate and carefully prepared digest of human and comparative physiology, designed for the use of general readers, but more especially ser- viceable to the student of medicine. Its style is con- cise, clear, and scholarly; its order perspicuous and exact, and its range of topics extended. The author and his American editor have been careful to bring to the illustration of the subject the important disco- veries of modern science in the various cognate de- partments of investigation This is especially visible in the variety of interesting information derived from the departments of chemistry and physics. The great amount and variety of matter contained in the work is strikingly illustrated by turning over the copious index, covering twenty-four closely printed pages in double columns —Silliman's Journal, Jan. 1869. We doubt if there is in the English language any compend of physiology more useful to the student than this work.—St. Louis Med. and Surg. Journal, Jan. 1869. It quite fulfils, in our opinion, the author's design of making it truly educational in its character—which is, perhaps, the highest commendation that can be asked.—Am. Journ. Med. Sciences, Jan. 1869. We may now congratulate him on having com- pleted the latest as well as the best summary of mod- ffARPENTER [WILLIAM B.), M. D., F.R.S., w Examiner in Physiology and Comparative Anatomy in the University of London. PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY; with their chief apph- cations to Psychology, Pathology, Therapeutics, Hygiene and Forensic Medicine. A new American from the last and revised London edition. With nearly three hundred illustrations. Edited, with additions, by Francis Gurney Smith, M. D., Professor of the Institutes of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, &c. In one very large and beautiful octavo volume, of about 900 large pages, handsomely printed; extra cloth, $5 50 ; leather, raised bands, $6 50. With Dr. Smith, we confidently believe that the present will moie than sustain the enviable reputa- tion already attained by former editions, of being one of the fullest and most complete treatises on the subject in the English language. We know of none from the pages of which a satisfactory knowledge of the physiology of the human organism can be as well obtained, none better adapted for the use of such as take up the study of physiology in its reference tof the institutes and practice of medicine.—Am. Jour. Med. Sciences. We doubt not it is destined to retain a strong hold on public favor, and remain the favorite text-book in our colleges.— Virginia Medical Journal. The above is the title of what is emphatically the great work on physiology; and we are conscious that it would be a useless effort to attempt to add any- thing to the reputation of this invaluable work, and can only say to all with whom our opinion has any that it is our authority.—Atlanta.

As a complete and condensed treatise on its extended and important subject, this work becomes a necessity to students of natural science, while the very low price at which it is offered places it within the reach of all.
