    lectures, relating as they do to conduct in regard to the maintenance of the honour and dignity of our Profession. It will be found that some parts of this treatise are dealt with as they pertain to the views and practices of our French confreres, and in several instances these will not apply to our British practice. The work is certainly remarkable as an exposition of the views of an experienced, right-minded, and Christian physician, and it must have required some courage to express them in these days when a non- Christian government is in power in France, and actively employing its influence to nullify the Christian faith throughout the realm of the Republic. As Englishmen, we are in full sympathy with Dr. Surbled's efforts, and his firm tenure of the Roman faith in no degree averts this sympathy, since our faith and his rest alike on the basis of the main features of our common Christianity. We all, happily, belong to the most catholic of professions.
