WITH A PREFACE BY PROFESSOR LIEBIG.
c. remigius fresenius.
"I can confidently recommend this work, from my own personal experience, to all who are desirous of obtaining instruction in analysis, for its simplicity and usefulness, and the facility with which it may be comprehended."—Baron Liebig. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We are confident that the reader will find, on perusal, that the execution of the work sustains in every point the already high reputation of the author. The book is evidently the result of much labour and research, and has been written with the greatest care and attention."—British and Foreign Medical Review. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mr. lawrence, f.r.s.
mr. liston, f.r.s.
dr. hunter lane, f.l.s.
"Dr. Lane's volume is on the same general plan as Dr. Thompson's long known Conspectus; but it is much fuller in its details, more especially in the chemical department. It seems carefully compiled, is well suited for its purpose, and cannot fail to be useful."—British and Foreign Medical Review. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dr. lee, f.r.s.
"The following Reports comprise the most important practical details of all the cases of difficult parturition which have come under my observation during the last twenty years, and of which I have preserved written histories. They have now been collected and arranged for publication, in the hope that they may be found to illustrate, confirm, or correct the rules laid down by systematic writers, for the treatment of difficult labours, and supply that course of clinical instruction in midwifery, the want of which has been so often experienced by practitioners at the commencement of their career."—From Preface.
mr. langston parker.
dr. millingen.
Dr. Millingen, in one small pocket volume, has compressed more real solid matter than could be gleaned out of any dozen of octavos, on the same subject. We recommend this vade-mecum as the best thing of the kind we ever perused."—Dr. Johnson's Review. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dr. prout, f.r.s.
by the same author.
dr. ramsbotham.
"The work of Dr. Ramsbotham may be described as a complete system of the principles and practice of midwifery; and the author has been at very great pains indeed to present a just and useful view of the present state of obstetrical knowledge. The illustrations are numerous, well selected, and appropriate, and engraved with great accuracy and ability. In short, we regard this work, between accurate descriptions and useful illustrations, as by far the most able work on the principles and practice of midwifery that has appeared for a long time. Dr. Ramsbotham has contrived to infuse a larger proportion of common sense, and plain unpretending practical knowledge into his work, than is commonly found in works on this subject; and as such we have great pleasure in recommending it to the attention of obstetrical practitioners."—Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal.
dr. ranking.
Volumes I. to VII., 6s. 6d. each.
"The sifting which the journals and other medical works undergo, and the judicious selection from their pages of points of practical interest, and of discoveries of importance in the collateral sciences, form an important part of the duty of the editor; and, after a careful examination of Dr. Ranking's volumes, we are bound to state that the duty has been most ably performed."—Provincial Medical Journal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
dr. royle, f.r.s.
"Dr. Royle's Manual, while it has the convenience of being in a portable form, contains as much matter as would fill two other volumes in large type. The subject is well treated, the matter practical and well arranged, and we do not hesitate to recommend it as a most useful volume to the student and practitioner."—Medical Gazette.
"This work is ably done, the botanical part with great skill, and the chemical, natural history, and therapeutic department most perfect and complete."—Edinburgh Medical Journal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

by a practising physician.
"Never was half-a-crown better spent than in the purchase of this 'Thesaurus Medicaminum.' This little work, with our visiting-book and stethoscope, are our daily companions in the carriage."—Dr. Johnson's Review.
dr. williams, f.r.s.
mr. erasmus wilson, f.r.s.
"As a satisfactory proof that the praise we bestowed on the first edition of this work was not unmerited, we may observe it has been equally well thought of in foreign countries, having been reprinted in the United States and in Germany. In every respect, this work, as an anatomical guide for the student and the practitioner, merits our warmest and most decided praise."—Medical Gazette.
by the same author.
"The work is very considerably improved in the present edition, and is, for the first time, illustrate with plates. Of these Plates it is impossible to speak too highly. The representation of the various forms of cutaneous disease are singularly accurate, and the colouring exceeds almost anything we have met with in point of delicacy and finish."—British and Foreign Medical Review.
by the same author.
"The student will be delighted to find his labours so much facilitated, and a few hours of agreeable society with a most pleasantly-written book will do more to make him acquainted with a class of obscure diseases than all that has been previously written on the subject."—Lancet.
