NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Notes on the Surgery Of the War in the Crimea.
with remarks on the treatment of g,lnshot
wounds, by George H. B. Macleod Published
by J. W. Randolph, III Main street, Richmond
We have received the above work from the pub.
Usher. and take pleasure in recommending il as a
book of intrinsic value. It is especially adapted to
the times, and should find ready sale among the
medical men attached to the various hospitals. 1t
gives very graphically the distinction between sur
gerry practiced in the army and in civil life and
also many interesting pecuarties ip wounds and
injuries seen in the Crimean campaign. In the re-.
publication of this work, the editor, Dr. A. n Tai.
ley, has endeavored to reduce the bulk of the orig
ina and at the time incorporate all it's more
essential and practical features. The book contains
some hundred and eighty-five pages. and is printed
in good style and in readable type. 1t should have
aready sale.
Gross Military Surgery, or Hints on the Emergen
cies of Field Camp and Hospital Practice.
We have also received the above from the same
publisher. 1t is smaller volume than the former
but is a good companion to it. From these two
books many useful facts can be gained by physi
clans and others who have wounded under their
charge The latter contains recipes for many die
tetc preparations.

AN lSCIDEEE-A lady was about leaving Nor.
folk few days ago, under flag of truce, for this
city, when size was approached by tho Federal Gen.
eral Mansfield, who politely bade her goodbye
asd added that be -hoped to have the pleasure OF
calling upon her shortly in Richmond. Perhaps,
General, said the lady, t may be- my privilege to
call upon you in Richmond when 1 shall endeavo4
to repay the kindness you have shown ms hers y
How sos asked the General, evidently puzzled to
comprehend the remark. "Becausc," the lady ~
piled. "we have many large and commodious tobac
co factories in Richmond to one Of which, on youI
arrival there, you will doubtless bo sonsigned and
while it will not be your privilege to visit the Ia
dies. it will, perhaps, be mine to call upon you, and
thus in some measure relieve ths tedium Of your
imprisonment" To this remark the General -
sayed no answer but very shortly retired
