    the urine and urinary deposits by the microscope, and by applying the appropriate tests. I have thought it right to retain this character in the present work, and only a few very general remarks will be found with reference to the treatment of urinary diseases. I have had frequen't occasion to refer to numerous works, and have inserted many references in the text between brackets. The names of almost all the authors consulted will also be found in the index. Nearly all the analyses have been made by myself, and the drawings have in most cases been copied by me on the blocks, which were afterwards engraved. Those illustrating the chapter on the kidney have been very recently copied from specimens carefully prepared. Only comparatively few illustrations of the salts of the urine and of urinary deposits will be found in this work, as they have been already published in the ^^Illustrations,''' to which frequent references will be found. I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to give accurate copies of the objects; and almost all the drawings have been traced directly on the wood-blocks or lithographic stones. Each object has been represented of the exact size it appeared. The magnifying power is given, and a scale appended, by which anyone can measure each object. References to different parts of the work are inserted where required, especially in the Tables at the end of the volume. Pains have been taken to arrange the subjects to be discussed in the most convenient manner. A glance at the arrangement which immediately follows will at once give the reader an idea of the contents of the book, and the order in which the subjects are treated of. Lionel S. Beale. 61, Grosvenor Street, W., March, 1861.
