"This excellent work is constructed on The model of the French Surgical Works by Velpeau and Malgaigne; and, so far as the English language is concerned, we are proud as an American to say that, OF ITS KIND IT HAS NO SUPERIOR."--_New York Journal of Medicine._
"For this beautiful volume, the student and pract.i.tioner of Surgery will feel grateful to the ability and industry of Prof. Pancoast. The drawing and execution of the plates are splendid examples of American art, and do credit to Messrs. Cichowski and Duval, while the description is no less creditable to the author. We have examined the book with care, and feel great pleasure in declaring that, in our opinion, it is a most valuable addition to the surgical literature of the United States. It was a happy idea to ill.u.s.trate this department of surgery, as it renders perfectly clear what the very best verbal description often leaves obscure, and is, to some extent, a subst.i.tute for witnessing operations.
To those pract.i.tioners especially, who are called upon occasionally, only, to perform operations, we are not acquainted with any volume better calculated for reference prior to using the knife. There are similar works published in Europe, but they are much more expensive, without being superior in point of usefulness to the very cheap volume before us.
"All the modern operations for the cure of squinting, club-foot, and the replacing lost parts and repairing deformities from partial destruction of the nose, &c., are very clearly explained and prettily ill.u.s.trated.
It is questionable whether anything on this subject can be better adapted to its purpose, than Pancoast"s Operative Surgery."--_Sat.u.r.day Courier._
III.
G.o.dDARD ON THE TEETH.
THE ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND DISEASES OF THE TEETH AND GUMS, WITH THE MOST APPROVED METHODS OF TREATMENT, INCLUDING OPERATIONS, AND A GENERAL ACCOUNT OF THE METHOD OF MAKING AND SETTING Artificial Teeth.
BY PAUL BECK G.o.dDARD, M. D.,
Professor of Anatomy and Histology in the Franklin College of Philadelphia.
In One 4to. Volume, ill.u.s.trated by 30 beautifully executed Plates, each containing Numerous Figures, handsomely bound in cloth.
Price Six Dollars.
_Uniform with "Quain"s Anatomy," "Pancoast"s Surgery," and "Moreau"s Midwifery."_
"We do not possess a modern work on Dental Surgery, written by a British Author, which equals that of Dr. G.o.ddard.--One reason for this may arise from the circ.u.mstance, that the learned author is a practical anatomist, whose knowledge is on a level with the modern discoveries, and who has himself authenticated the latest researches into the minute anatomy of the dental structure. It is quite apparent that such knowledge must prove of immense value in enabling any one to arrive at just conclusions relative to the diseases of the teeth; and it is chiefly to be attributed to the want of such knowledge that most writers on Dental Surgery have erred so much relative to the causes and nature of these diseases. The work may confidently be recommended, as containing the _best and most approved methods of performing all the operations connected with Dental Surgery_.
"We cannot close our remarks without adverting to the thirty very beautiful lithographs which ill.u.s.trate the text. They render it quite impossible to misunderstand the author, and afford a very favorable example of the advanced state of the Art on the American Continent."--_Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal_, 1844.

MOREAU"S Great Work on Midwifery
A PRACTICAL TREATISE EXHIBITING THE PRESENT ADVANCED STATE OF THE SCIENCE.
BY F. G. MOREAU.

The whole ill.u.s.trated by _Eighty Splendid Quarto Plates_, WHICH ARE EITHER The Size of Life, OR EXACTLY HALF THE SIZE.
Upon which the first artists have been employed, and which are fully equal, if not superior, to the original, and the publishers can safely p.r.o.nounce it THE MOST SPLENDID WORK ON MIDWIFERY EVER PUBLISHED.
_Now complete in one large 4to. volume of the size of "Quain"s Anatomy,"
"Pancoast"s Surgery," and "G.o.ddard on the Teeth."_
Price TEN DOLLARS, full bound in cloth
"The work of Professor Moreau is a treasure of Obstetrical Science and Practice, and the American edition of it an elegant specimen of the arts."--_Medical Examiner, August, 1844._
"A splendid quarto, containing eighty lithographic plates, true to the life has been some weeks before us--but we are groping our way through a ma.s.s of new works, with a full expectation of soon doing justice to the merits of this elaborate and truly beautiful work."--_Boston Med. and Surg. Journal._
"Moreau"s treatise is another valuable work upon the science of Midwifery, with eighty of the most splendid lithographic plates we have ever seen. THESE ILl.u.s.tRATIONS ARE ENGRAVED WITH SO MUCH BEAUTY AND ACCURACY, AND UPON SO LARGE A SCALE, that they cannot fail to present to the eye the precise relation of the foetus and of the parts engaged in labor, under every condition and circ.u.mstance, from the commencement of the state of natural parturition, to the most difficult and complicated labor. The profession are greatly indebted to French industry in pathological and special anatomy for the continued advance in the science of Obstetrics; and the work before us may be regarded as the completion of all that has acc.u.mulated in this department of medical science, greatly enhanced in value by many valuable original suggestions, to the proper arrangement of which the author has devoted a great amount of labor. The translation is faithfully and elegantly done, and the work will be a valuable addition to the medical literature of our country."--_New York Journal of Medicine._
