ON OBSCURE DISEASES OP THE BRAIN AND DISORDERS OF THE MIND; their incipient Symptoms, Paihology, Diiignosio, Treuinieiii, luul Prophylaxis. In one hniulsoiue octavo volume, o( nearly 000 pages, (jiint Issued.) §3 00. We close this hrief and necessarily very imperfect notice of Dr. Winslow’s ^reat and classical work, by expressing our conviction that it is long since so important and beautifully writfcii a volume has is- sued from the Bntisli medical press —Dublin Med. J'ress, July 25, tSOO. We honestly believe Ibis to be the best book of the seuson.— hanking’s Abstract, July, IHUO. It cat I cU us back to our old days of novel reading, it kept us from our dimer, from our business, and fri ll, our slumbers; in short, we laid it down only wiien we had got to the end of the last paragraph, and even then turned bacx to the repei iisal of several passages which we had marked as requiring fur her study We have fulled entirely in the above notice to give an adequate iieknowledgirient of Ihe profit and pleasure witn which we have perused the above worx. We can only say to our readers, study it yourselves; and we extend the Invitation to unpro- fessional us well us professional mm, believing that it contains matter deeply interesting not to physi- cians alone, but to all who appreciate the trutli that; “ The proper study of man kind is nuia.—Nashville Mtdical Record, July, ItCO. The 'alter portion of Dr. Winslow’s work is ex- clusively devoted to the consideration of Cerebral I’athology. It completely exhausts the subject, in Ihe same manner as the previous seventeen chapters relating to morbid psychical phenomena left nothing unnoticed in reference to the mental symptoms pre- monitory of Cerebral disease. It is impossible to overrate the benefits likely to result from a general perusal of Dr. Winslow’s valuable and deeply in- teresting work.—London Lancet, June 23, I860. It contains an immense mass of information.— Brit, and For. Med.-Chir. Review, Oct. 16(50. WEST (CHARLES), M. D., Accoucheur to and Lecturer on Midwifery at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, Physician to the Hospital for j Sick Children, &c. LECTURES ON THE DISEASES UP WOMEN.

Gentlemen who received the first portion, as now complete their copies by procuring Part II. &c., 8vo., cloth, price $1. We mustnow conclude this hastily written sketch with the confident assurance to our readers that the work will well repay perusal. The conscientious, painstaking, prac>ioal phybician isapparenl on ever) page.—iV. y. Journal of Medicine, March, 1858. We know of no treatise of the kind so complete and yet so compact.—Chicago Med. Jour. Jan. 1858. A fairer, more honest, more earnest, and more re- liable investigator of the many diseases of women and children is not to be found in any country.— Southern Med. and Surg. Journal, January 1858. We gladly recommend his Lectures as in the high- est degree instructive to all who are interested in obstetric practice.—London Lancet. We have to say of it, briefly and decidedly, that it is the best work on the subject in any language; and that it stamps Dr. West us the/acil« jirinceps of British obstetric authors.—Edinb. Med. Journ. As a writer. Dr. West stands, in our opinion, sec- ond only to Watson, the “ Macaulay of Medicine;” he possesses that happy faculty of clothing instruc- BY THE SAME AUTl issued 111 the “Medical News and Library,” can being page 309 to end, with Index, Title matter, tion in easy garments; combining pleasure with profit, he leads his pupils, in spite of the ancient proverb, along a royal road to learning. His wnrk IS one which will not satisfy the extreme on ciiher side, but it is one that will please the great majority who are seeking triiih, and one that will convince the student that he has committed himself to a can- did, sale, and valuable guide.—N. A. Med.-Chirurg. Review, July, 1858. Happy in his simplicity of manner, and moderate in his expression of opinion, the author is a sound reasoner and a good piuciitioner, and his book is worthy of the lianusome garb in which it has ap- peared.— Virginia Med. Journal. We must take leave of Dr. West’s very useful work, with our commendation oi the clearness of its style, and the int ustry and sobriety of judgment of whicii It gives evidence.—London Med Times. Sound judgment and good sense pervade every chapter ol the book. From its perusal we havexJe- rived unmixed satisfa'ction.—Dublin (duart. Journ. 3R. {Just Issited.) LECTURES ON THE DISEASES OP INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD. Third American, from the fourth enlarged and improved London edition. In one handsome octavo volume, extra cloth, of about six hundred and fifty pages. $i 75. The three former editions of the work now before us have placed the author in tiie toremost rank of those physicians who have devoted special attention to the diseases of early life We attempt no ana- lysis of this edition, but may refer the reader to some of the chapters to which the largest additions have been made—those on Diphtheria, Disorders of the Mind, and Idiocy, for instance—as a prooi that the work is really a new edition; not a mere reprint. In its preient shape it will be lound of the greatest possible service in the every-day practice ot nine- tenlhs of the profession.—Med. Times and Gazette, London, Dec. 10, 1859. All things considired. this book of Dr. West is by far the best treatise in our language upon such modifications of morbid action and diseise as are witntssed when we have to deal with infancy and childhood. It is true that it confines itself to such disorders as come within the province of tUv phy- sician, and even with respect to iiie.se it is unequal ns regards minuteniss of consideration, and some diseases it omits to notice altogether. But those who know anything of the present condition of paediatrics will readily admit that it would be next to impossible to effect more, or effect it better, tiian the accoucheur of St. Bartholomew’s has done m a single volume. The lecture (XVI.) upon Disorotrs of the Mind in chiluren is an admirable specimen of thevalueot the later information conveyed in the Lectures of Dr. Charles West.—London Lancet, Oct. 22, 1859. Since the appearance of the first edition, about eleven years ago, the experience of the author has doubled; so that, whereas the lectures at first were founded on six hundred observations, and one hun- dred and eigiiiy dissections made among nearly four- teen thousand children, they now embody the results of nine hundred observations, and two hundred and eighty-eight post- mortem examinations made among nearly thirty thousand children, who, during the past twenty years, have been under bis care.— British Med.
