    WATSON'S PRACTICE, Improved Edition. Lea 8f Blanchard have just issued LECTURES ON THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF PHYSIC. Delivered at King's College, London, Br THOMAS WATSON, M.D., etc. Second American, from the Second London Edition. Revised, with Additions, ByD. FRANCIS CONDIE, M.D., Author of a Treatise on the Diseases of Children, etc. In one large octavo volume of nearly eleven hundred pages, well bound. That this volume should have passed to a second edition within so short a space of time, is the best proof of its intrinsic merits, and of the appreciation in which it is held. The present edition will be found preferable in its appearance to the former one, being printed on larger type and finer paper; while the additions of the Editor, Dr. Condie, improve its value as a work of reference and authority for the American physician. Notwithstanding these improvements, it is still among the cheapest medical books before the public. It has met with universal approbation from the Medical press, a few of the testimonials of which the publishers submit, together with a letter from Dr. Chapman, of the University of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, September 27th, 1844. Watson's Practice of Physic, in my opinion, is among the most compre- hensive works on the subject extant, replete with curious and important matter, and written with great perspicuity and felicity of manner. As cal- culated to do much good, 1 cordially recommend it to that portion of the pro- fession in this country who may be influenced by my judgment. N. CHAPMAN, M.D. Professor of the Practice and Theory of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania. We know of no work belter calculated far being placed in the hands of the student, and for a text book, and as such we are sure it will be very ex- tensively adopted. On every important point the author seems to have posted up his knowledge to the day. — American Medical Journal. In the Lectures ol Dr. Watson, now republished here in a large and closely printed volume, we have a body of doctrine and practice of medicine well calculated, by its intrinsic soundness and correctness of style, to instruct the student and younger practitioner, and improve members of the profes- sion of every age. — Bulletin of Medical Science. We regard these lei tore.- as the best exposition of their subjects of any we remember to have read. Trie author is assuredly master of his art. His has been a life of observation and study, and in this work he has given us the matured results of these mental efforts.—New Orleans Medical Journal. We know not, indeed, of any work of the same size that contains a greater amount of interesting and useful matter. The author is evidently well acquainted with everything appertaining to the principles and practice of medicine, and has incorporated the stores of his well-stocked mind, in the work before us, so ably and agreeably, thai it is impossible for the inlerestof the reader to flag for a moment, That they are well adapted for such a pur- pose, all must admit ; but their sphere of usefulness may e*!end much be- yond tins. Wc aie satisfied, indeed, that no physician, well read and ob-
