George's Hospital, &c. &c.
" We have been much pleased by the perusal of Dr. Fuller's
interesting volume. The views it enforces are sound and judi-
cious, and are based upon that foundation on which all doc-
trines in medicine ought to rest, namely, clinical experience."
—Medical Times and Gazette.

" We would particularly recommend a careful perusal of Dr.
Fuller's pages, for in them will be fouud much sound and
practical information, drawn from a large field of observation

NEW MUSIC

-MOONLIGHT ON THE OCEAN. Words by J.
E. CARPENTER; music by J. W. CHERRY, 9s. COCKS
and Co. New Burlington-street (publishers to the Queen). A
beautiful song, tuneful and brilliant, of moderate compass.
Cherry's melodies are always pleasing and varied.
"Our Beautiful Mountain Home." "The Flower Gatherers."
The music of these duets is light and captivating. We can
imagine nothing more genial and pleasant in the drawing-room
than two sweet voices warbling them in harmonious unison.
The melodies are by Stephen Glover, and the words by J. E.
Carpenter. 3s.

"-Mary Astore." Ballad. Words by Mrs. Crawford; Music
by Stet-Alen Glover. 2s. A plaintive, sentimental piece, in
three flats, worthy of the reputation of the distinguished
author. Miss Dolby has rendered it very popular this season
at the fashionable concerts.

"My Mother's Gentle Word." By Henry Griesbach. 2s.
We do not remember to have seen any of this gentleman's
, compositions before, but if he continue to write in the same
placid, tuneful strain, he will become a favourite author. Both
poetry and music of this little ballad are unobjectionable. We
admire its fervent, kindly spirit.
" Dame Durden Quadrilles." By J. Blewitt. 36.; duets, 4s.
These are the spirited, dashing quadrilles performed nightly
with the greatest applause in the popular Drury-lane panto-
' mime Harlequin Hudibras. The movements, Le Pantalon
L'Ete, La Poule, and the finale are arranged with great skill., The title-page is brilliantly illuminated with a characteristic
vignette by Leighton Brothers.

"The Sinishine of our IIOme." By Edward Land. 2s.
This song is decidedly the ;TM of the season. It is founded
on a passage in one of Mrs. Stowe's works, and the composer
has wedded it to a melody full of soul and expression. ➢Liss
Dolby sings it delightfully.
"La Reine Blanche." Grand Galop for the Piano-forte. By
Brinley Richards. 4s.

Cocks and Co. are distinguished for their extensive catalogue
of instrumental music, and of the modern names that appear
in it that of Brinley Richards is important, his "Classical
Pianist," comprising pieces by Mozart, Weber, Haydn, Chopin,
Beethoven, Handel, and other masters, and arranged with
erudition and skill. "La Reine Blanche" is sparkling and
graceful, and will find its way on the pianos of thousands of
our more advanced amateurs,"— Vide Weekly Times, Jan. 22.

publishers to the Queen, and of all Music Sellers.

years Medical Superintendent of the British

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS—BRITISH AND AMERICAN.
"The Author of these Sketches is evidently a close observer
and independent thinker. As he has presented the chief evi-
dence on which his opinions are based, he affords his readers
an opportunity of testing' their truth."— The American Quar-
terly Journal of the Medical Sciences.

"-It is due to Dr. Dundas, of Liverpool, to acknowledge the
valuable service which he has rendered to the profession by the
introduction of his novel and generally successful treatment
of this formidable disease (Typhus Fever)."—Dublin Quarterly
Journal of Medical Science-3P Evers.

" If he succeed in proving his case, he will have deserved
well of his profession."—British and Foreign Medieo-Chirur-
gical Review.

" The principal treatment in all (eighty cases) except one,
was the use of Disulphate of Quina, so strongly recommended
by Dr. Dundas. In seventy-nine cases, marked improvement
was observable in the course of twelve hours."—Lancet—
Hayward.

"The experience of Dr. Fenner gives great additional
strength to the important practical doctrine which Dr. Dundas
has brought before the profession."—London Journal of
Medicine.

" We cannot quit the woak ,without stating that it is written
with great ability. We have read it with much interest, and
gathered from it many valuable facts; throughout the whole
work, there is abundant evidence that Dr. Dundas is a physi-
cian of learning and superior attainments."—Medical
" It is evidently the production of an original thinker—one
who observes facts, and reasons from them. We recommend
the work to the careful perusal of every practitioner."—Pro-
rincial Medical and Surgical Journal.
" Here we pause ; not without recommending to the consi-
deration of readers, both Medical and general, the perusal of
the present work, as one containing much interesting informa-
tion, and many things which it is important and desirable to
know."—Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal.
" Dr. Dundas is a spirited writer ; and as a physician, he
evidently stands high as an original thinker and accurate
observer. We promise to the readers of Dr. Dundas' book
sound instruction."—Celgut—London Literary Journal.
" While the book presents many notices of Brazilian Sce-
nery, and life and manners, interesting to the general reader,
the Medical information which it contains is of great impor-
tance to all professional men."—Literary Gazette.
" As an important contribution to this field of inquiry, we
must add this work of Dr. Dundas. It is the production of a
man of accurateobservation and sound thought. '—ilthenceuin.
