    MILLER’S SURGICAL WORKS. THE PRINCIPLES OF SURGERY. BY JAMES MILLER, F.R. S.E., F.R. C.S.E., Professor of Surgery in the University of Edinburgh, &c. In one neat octavo volume, to match the Author's volume on “ Practice.” e( No one can peruse this work without the conviction that he has been addressed by an accom¬ plished surgeon, endowed with no mean literary skill or doubtful good sense, and who knows how to grace or illumine his subjects with the later lights of our rapidly advancing physiology. The book deserves a strong recommendation, and must secure itself a general perusal.”—Medical Times. “ We feel no hesitation in expressing our opinion that it presents the philosophy of the science more fully and clearly than any other work in the language with which we are acquainted.”—Phi¬ ladelphia Medical Examiner. “ To the student who wishes to acquire a useful practical knowledge of the pathology of sur¬ gical diseases, it is impossible to recommend a better guide than the present treatise by Mr. Mil¬ ler.”—Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal. “ An admirable epitome of the surgical science of the day. Being written by a sound practical surgeon accustomed to the public teaching of his science, it has the clearness of diction and ar¬ rangement which renders it an excellent manual for the students as well as that amount of scien¬ tific and practical information which makes it a safe and valuable guide to the practitioner.”—The Lancet* JUST PUBLISHED. THE PRACTICE OF SURGERY. BY JAMES MILLER. Professor of Surgery in the University of Edinburgh. In one neat octavo volume. This work is printed and bound to match the “ Principles of Surgery,” by Professor Miller, lately issued by L. & B. Either volume may be had separately. “ This work, with the preceding one, forms a complete text-book of surgery, and has been under¬ taken by the author at the request of his pupils. Although, as we are modestly informed in the preface, it is not put forth in rivalry of the excellent works on practical surgery which already exist, we think we may take upon ourselves to say, that it will form a very successful and formidable rival to most of them. While it does not offer the same attractive illustrations, with which some of our recent text-books have been embellished, and while it will not, as indeed is not its design, set aside the more complete and elaborate works of reference which the profession is in possession of, we have no hesitation in stating that the two volumes form, together, a more complete text-book of surgery than any one that has been heretofore offered to the student.”—The Northern Journal of Medicine. “ Mr. Miller is already known in his profession as an able writer and a well informed surgeon, and the book before us is calculated to maintain his reputation. We recommend it to those who want a sound guide, or wish to refresh their recollections. The characteristics which especially distinguish the work are, its plain good sense, or the selection of the important from the unimport¬ ant announcements in surgery ; the sound indications of the judgment to be exercised in the treat¬ ment of surgical diseases.”—The Lancet. A NEW AND IMPROVED EDITION OF FERGUSSON'S OPERATIVE SURGERY. A SYSTEM OF PRACTICAL SURGERY, BY WILLIAM FERGUSSON, F.R. S. E. SECOND AMERICAN EDITION, REVISED AND IMPROVED. With Two Hundred and Fifty-two Illustrations from Drawings by Bagg, Engraved by Gilbert, With Notes and Additional Illustrations, BY GEORGE W. NORRIS, M. D., &c. In one beautiful octavo volume of six hundred and forty large pages. “ If we were to say that this volume by Mr. Fergusson, is one excellently adapted to the student, and the yet inexperienced practitioner ot surgery, we should restrict unduly its range. It isol the kind which every medi¬ cal man ou°ht to have by him for ready reference. a?> a guide to the prompt treatment ot many accidents and injuries which whilst he hesitates, may be followed by incurable defects, and deformities of structure, if not by death itself. In drawing to a close our notice of Mr. Fergusson’s Practical Surgery, we cannot refrain from ao-ain adverting to the numerous and beautiful illustrations by wood-cuts, which contribute so admirably to elucidate the descriptions in the text. Dr. Norris has, as usual, acquitted himself judiciously in his office of annotator. His additions are strict ly practical and to the point.,, Bulletin of Medical Science.
