Science.
“It would be unjust to conclude this notice without saying a few words in favour of Mr. Churchill, from whom the profession is receiving, it may be truly said, the most beautiful series of Illustrated Medical Works which has ever been published.”—Lancet.
“All the publications of Mr. Churchill are prepared with so much taste and neatness, that it is superfluous to speak of them in terms of commendation.”—Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal.
“No one is more distinguished for the elegance and recherché style of his publications than Mr. Churchill.”—Provincial Medical Journal.
“Mr. Churchill’s publications are very handsomely got up: the engravings are remarkably well executed.”—Dublin Medical Press.
“The typography, illustrations, and getting up are, in all Mr. Churchill’s publications, most beautiful.”—Monthly Journal of Medical Science.
“Mr. Churchill’s illustrated works are among the best that emanate from the Medical Press.”—Medical Times.
“We have before called the attention of both students and practitioners to the great advantage which Mr. Churchill has conferred on the profession, in the issue, at such a moderate cost, of works so highly creditable in point of artistic execution and scientific merit.”—Dublin Quarterly Journal.

MEDICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY. Vol. I. Royal 8vo. 16s.
“We have never encountered so singular and remarkable a book. It unites the German research of a Plouquet with the ravings of Rabelais,—the humour of Sterne with the satire of Democritus,—the learning of Burton with the wit of Pindar.”—Dr. Johnson’s Review.
“In Mr. Atkinson, I have found a gentleman, and a man of varied talent, ardent and active, and of the most overflowing goodness of heart. In his retirement from an honourable profession (Medicine and Surgery), he knows not what the slightest approximation to ennui is. The heartiest of all the octogenarians I ever saw, he scorns a stretch, and abhors a gape. It is ‘up and be doing’ with him from sunrising to sunset. His library is suffocated with Koburgers, Frobens, the Ascensii, and the Stephens.”—Dibdin’s Northern Tour.

“Although addressed to the public, a vast variety of excellent practical matter is contained in it, which is calculated to interest the practitioner. It conveys in an agreeable and epistolary style most of the important truths connected with preventive medicine, and their practical application on the development and maturity of mind and body. Mr. Beale’s volume is calculated to make a favourable impression on the minds of all intelligent readers.”—Dublin Quarterly Journal.

“Dr. Blakiston’s production not only gives him a place in the rather thin ranks of sound and accomplished physicians, possessed of a true notion of the importance of their science, and of the means by which it should be cultivated,—but adds to English Medical Literature one of the few really inductive works by which it is adorned.”—Medico-Chirurgical Review.

ON SOME DISEASES OF WOMEN ADMITTING OF SURGICAL TREATMENT. With Plates, 8vo. cloth, 10s. 6d.
“The most valuable chapter in the book is that on Ruptured Perinæum. It is in the treatment of this distressing accident, which has long held a prominent place amongst the opprobria of Surgery, that Mr. Brown has, in our opinion, shown the greatest amount of originality, and in which his efforts have been rewarded with the greatest success.”—The Lancet.
“We can recommend Mr. Brown’s work most strongly to all those who are called upon to treat the Diseases peculiar to Women, as a book in which they will find a great deal of really valuable practical information.”—Medical Times and Gazette.

DR. WILLOUGHBY BURSLEM,
SENIOR PHYSICIAN TO THE BLENHEIM-STREET DISPENSARY.
“We find a series of original and important observations on the state of the periodical functions of the female in relation to the development and treatment of phthisis, and a commentary on the various phenomena of the disease, which impress us with the conviction that the author is as painstaking in his literary pursuit of knowledge as he is evidently a practical physician.”—Lancet.

“A work reflecting credit on the profession has been brought to a successful conclusion. Had Mr. Dalrymple’s life been spared but a few short months longer, the chorus of praise which now greets the completion of this great work would have fallen gratefully on his ear. The Publisher may well be proud of having issued such a work.”—London Journal of Medicine.
“The satisfaction with which we should have announced the completion of this unrivalled work is overclouded by the regret which we feel, in common with all who were acquainted with its distinguished and estimable author, at his early decease. The value of this work can scarcely be over-estimated: it realizes all that we believe it possible for art to effect in the imitation of nature.”—British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review.

“Without any of the adventitious aids to which most publications of the present day owe their success—the previous heralding and subsequent puffing which are usually in requisition at a literary début—without the prestige of rank or official distinction on the part of its author—the ‘Vade-Mecum’ has secured an extraordinary popularity in Great Britain, and the most flattering commendations of medical critics; such testimony to its intrinsic merits has encouraged its republication here.”—Preface to the American Edition.

II.
“It is scarcely necessary that we should add our hearty recommendation of Dr. Robertson’s treatise, not merely to our medical readers, but to the public, over whom they have an influence.

“Mr. Squire has rendered good service to all who either prescribe or dispense medicines by this work. He has succeeded in bringing together the similar formulæ for ready comparison and reference. The work offers a striking comment on the necessity of uniformity in the strength and preparation of all medicines which are used in the United Kingdom.”—Lancet.
“A very valuable work. Mr. Squire’s volume combines the formulæ of the three Pharmacopœias, and at one glance shows the difference of the official preparations of the three kingdoms.”—Medical Times.

“We rejoice to see that physicians of weight and authority are beginning to look beyond the os and cervix uteri for the causes of disease in these parts. Already a reformation somewhat analogous to what Abernethy effected for surgical diseases has commenced, and we feel assured that Dr. Tilt’s work will powerfully co-operate in helping it forward, and in placing the pathology and therapeutics of diseases of the female generative organs upon a sound and permanent basis.”—Dublin Quarterly Review.

IV.
PORTRAITS OF DISEASES OF THE SKIN. Folio. Fasciculi I. to XI. Containing Four highly-finished Coloured Plates. 20s. each.
“May be truly designated a splendid performance, surpassing, in the artistic beauty of its delineations, and fully equalling in their fidelity to nature, any thing which has yet been brought out in this country or on the continent. We can scarcely speak too strongly of the merits of this work.”—British and Foreign Medical Review.
“We have never before seen a work more beautifully got up, both as regards the typography and the execution and colouring of the plates. Even Alibert’s grand work sinks into the shade when placed by the side of that of Mr. Wilson’s.”—Lancet.

10. The particulars of each death connected with this outbreak were published in the “Weekly Returns” of the Registrar-General to 16th September, and I procured the remainder through the kindness of the Registrar-General and the District Registrars.
11. The deaths are obtained from the “First Report of the Metropolitan Sanitary Commission”, 1847; and the water supply, chiefly from a work entitled “Hydraulia”, by William Matthews, 1835.

14. P. 207. In the table at page 206, Dr. Baly has fallen into the mistake of supposing that the Lambeth Water Company obtained their supply from Thames Ditton in 1849. It was not till 1852 that their works were removed to that place. Dr. Baly has also mistaken the name and identity of all the three Companies which supply the south districts of London with water.
15. A part of Rotherhithe was supplied by the Kent Water Company; but there was no cholera in this part.
16. Weekly Return, Oct. 14, p. 433.

In Tothill Fields prison there were thirteen deaths among eight hundred prisoners, or 1·6 per cent. The other prisons on the north side of the Thames are supplied either by the New River Company, or from pump-wells, and there was but one death from cholera in all of them; that death took place in Newgate.
