    SARGENT (F. W.), M. D. ON BANDAGING AND OTHER OPERATIONS OF MINOR SURGERY. New edition, with an additional chapter on Military Surgery. One handsome royal 12mo. vol., of nearly 400 pages, with 184 wood cuts. Extra cloth, f 1 40; leather, $1 50. The value of this work as a handy and convenient manual for surgeons engaged in active duty in the field and hospital, has induced the publi?hers to render it more complete for those purposes by the addition of a chapter on gun-shot wounds and other matters peculiar to military surgery. In its present form, therefore, with no increase in price, it will be found a very cheap and convenient vade-mecum for consultation and reference in the daily exigencies of military as well as civil practice. Sargent's Minor Surgery has always been popular, and deservedly so. It furnishes that knowledge of the most frequently requisite performances of surgical art which cannot be entirely understood by attend- ing clinical lectures. The art of bandaging, which is regularly taught in Europe, is very frequently overlooked by teachers in this country ; the student and junior practitioner, therefore, may often require that knowledge which this little volume so tersely and happily supplies.—Charleston Med. Journ. and Review. A work that has been so long and favorably known to the profession as Dr. Sargent's Minor Surgery, needs no commendation from us. We would remark, however, in this connection, that minor surgery sel- dom gets that attention in our schools that its im- portance deserves. Our larger works are also very defective in their teaching on these small practical points. This little book will supply the void which all must feel who have not studied its pages.— West- ern Lancet. SMITH (W. TYLER), M. D„, Physician Accoucheur to St. Mary's Hospital, &c.

This standard work having had the advantage of two revisions at the hands of the author since the appearance of the last American edition, will be found thoroughly revised and brought up com- pletely to the present state of the science. As a work of authority, it must therefore maintain its position, both as a text-book for the student, and a compendious treatise to which the practitioner can at a'l times lefer in cases of doubt or difficulty. No work upon the subject can be put into tne j American and British legal medicine. It should be hands of students either of law or medicine which . in the possession of every physician, as the subject will engage them more closely or profitably; and j is one of great and increasing importance to the none could be offered to the busy practitioner ot ; public as well as to the profession.—Si Louis Med. either calling, for the purpose of casual or hasty : and Sitrg.
