    NEILL (JOHN), M. D., Surgeon to thePennsylvaniaHospital,&c; and FRANCIS GURNEY SMITH, M.D., Professor of Institutes of Medicine in the Pennsylvania Medical College. AN ANALYTICAL COMPENDIUM OF THE VARIOUS BRANCHES OF MEDICAL SCIENCE ; for the Use and Examination of Students. A new edition, revised and improved. In one very large and handsomely printed royal 12mo. volume, of about one thousand pages, with 374 wood-cuts. Strongly bound in leather, with raised bands. $3 00. The very flattering reception which has been accorded to this work, and the high estimate placed upon it by the profession, as evinced by the constant and increasing demand which has rapidly ex- hausted two large editions, have stimulated the authors to render the volume in its present revision more worthy of the success which has attended it. It has accordingly been thoroughly examined, and such errors as had on former occasions escaped observation have been corrected, and whatever additions were necessary to maintain it on a level with the advance of science have been introduced. The extended series of illustrations has been still further increased and much improved, while, by a slight enlargement of the page, these various additions have been incorporated without increasing the bulk of the volume. The work is, therefore, again presented as eminently worthy of the favor with which it has hitherto been received. As a book for daily reference by the student requiring a guide to his more elaborate text-books, as a manual for preceptors desiring to stimulate their students by frequent and accurate examination, or as a source from which the practitioners of older date may easily and cheaply acquire a knowledge of the changes and improvement in professional science, its reputation is permanently established. The best work of the kind with which we are acquainted.—Med. Examiner. Having made free use of this volume in our ex- aminations of pupils, we can speak from experi- ence in recommending it as an admirable compend for students, and as especially useful to preceptors who examine their pupils. It will save the teacher much labor by enabling him readily to recall all of the points upon which his pupils should be ex- amined. A work of this sort should be in the Hands of every one who takes pupils into his office with a view of examining them; and this is unquestionably the best of its class.—Transylvania Med. Journal In the rapid course of lectures, where work for the students is heavy, and review necessary for an examination, a compend is not only valuable, but it is almost a sine qua non. The one before us is, in most of the divisions, the most unexceptionable of all books of the kind that we know of. The newest and soundest doctrines and the latest im- provements and discoveries are explicitly, though concisely, laid before the student. There is a class to whom we very sincerely commend this cheap book as worth its weight in silver—that class is the gradu- ates in medicine of more than ten years' standing, who have not studied medicine, since. They will perhaps find out from it that the science is not exactly now what it was when they left it off.—The Stetho- scope NELIGAN (J. MOORE), M. D., M. R. I. A., &c. (A splendid work. Just Issued.) ATLAS OF CUTANEOUS DISEASES. In one beautiful quarto volume, extra cloth, with splendid colored plates, presenting nearly one hundred elaborate representations of disease. $4 50. This beautiful volume is intended as a complete and accurate representation of all the varieties of Diseases of the Skin. While it can be consulted in conjunction with any work on Practice, it has especial reference to the author's Treatise on Diseases of the Skin, so favorably received by the profession some years since. The publishers feel justified in saying that few more beautifully exe- cuted plates have ever been presented to the profession of this country. Neligan's Atlas of Cutaneous Diseases supplies a long existent desideratum much felt by the largest give, at a coup d'ceil, the remarkable peculiarities of each individual variety. And while thus the dis ease is rendered more definable, there is yet no loss of proportion incurred by the necessary concentra- tion. Each figure is highly colored, and so truthful has the artist been thatthe most fastid ous observer could not justly take exception to the correctness of the execution of the pictures under his scrutiny.— Montreal Med.

It presents, in quarto size. 16 plates, each containing from 3 to 6 figures, and forming in all a total of 90 distinct representations of the different species of skin affections, grouped together in genera or families. The illustrations have been taken from nature, and have been copied with such fidelity that they present a striking picture of life; in which the reduced scale aptly serves to BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
