NOTICES.

London Medical Directory for 1846. Churchill,

Thi4 is a highly uceful work for the medical worn. It
contains nt:t only the !throes and addresses of the ohysi-
ciat's and surgeon. of the metropolis, but their •' qualifi-

cation, official appointments, honprary distinctiona, and
literary productions." Such mn-t, therefore, be a desi-
deratuui for every provincial medical practitioner, whose
ready and appionriate reference to metropolitan consult.
to will be taclitated by this mat,uil. The medical re-
es of the London assuiance offices—public medical
, of the colleges in the interests of

service—laps, &

medicine—societies. &c., are all introduced, and
corrected up to press. One vint of contatrable utility
to the public springs nut of thi4 registerinz of the pro-
!cation. It is often a question when you can find a me-
4ical man " at home "—their hours for heinz consulted
varying so much in the metropolis and in the provinces.
An attempt, therefote, to establish uniformity in consult-
ation hours amongst the grades is very desirable; and an

improved in ii' style. It takes a very I ber.l and proper
view of the Imrata quwatio of medic al politics. The con-
tributions are from the first author:firs. and nothing of
stamp receives insertion, we understand. but what is paid
for, and which, therefore, must have merit in- winning
