EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS.

" The editor has deserved well of his country and of the
church of God for his present undertaking."
" A very high meed of praise is due to the pious mad bene-
volent editor for having, at the expense of a large sacrifice of
money as well as if time, accomplished an undertaking to which
hitherto only the exertions of an episcopal bench, and the ex-
penditure of national funds have been deemed adequate."
" Sacred regard has been paid to the moulds of thought
and expression which our venerable translators had used."
" A multitude of the emendations are admirable, and while
they bring out more fully the spirit of the original, they
strikingly tend to elucidate the truths and facts of the sacred
oracles."
" The editor has impaired no doctrine of the Gospel ; has
ventured on no conjectural renderings ; and has done no vio-
lence to the evangelical spirit of the inspired oracles. In not
a few instances he has shed light on the sacred text by placing
it in a clearer point of view ; while by better renderings he has
removed many contradictions and indelicacies out of the way of
the English reader."

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of se
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
