    Of the higliest value, combining, ns it does, so much of the utile with tlie dulce, so many facts with so concise a man- ner of announcing them. We cordially recommend it to the profession.—London Medical and Surgical Journal. We are much deceived if it fail to interest most of those who look through it. The author has visited almost all tlie principal seats of learning and medical science in France, Italy, and Germany ; and the account which he gives of them is so sketchy and animated, that the chief fault to be found with it, perhaps, is,, that it does not present us with details more copious. — Medical Gazette. The contents of this volume are justly described in the preface as presenting an impartial and not inaccurate sketch of the actual state of medical practice in France and Italy, with some notes on the German institutions, less copious, but calculated to convey some idea of the state of practice.— Lancet. Mr. Lee's account of the state of medical practice in France is succinct and interesting.—British and Foreign Me- dical Review. This is to all classes an interesting work, and to the mem- bers of the medical profession we should think a necessary one. Altogether, this volume is a public service —Metropo- litan Magazine. Un resume statistique fort interessant des principaux etablissemens medicaux du continent.—Gazette Mtdicale de Paris. This sketch of the state of medical and surgical practice in France, Italy, and Germany, is the result of the personal observation of the author during a temporary residence at dif- ferent periods in those countries. The succinct account of some of the principal medical institutions, and the pertinent remarks on continental practice, bear the stump of accuracy and impartiality, and convey much useful information to the- profession.—Quarterly Journal of Science.
