    JT/'ELLS (J. SOELBEEG), ~ ' r Professor of Ophthalmology in King's College Hospital &c A TREATISE ON DISEASES OF THE EYE. Third American from the Third London Edition. Thoroughly revised, with copious additions by Chas' S. Bull.M D., Surgeon and Pathologist to the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. Illus- tratedwith about 260 engravings on wood, and six colored plates Together with sele'^- tions from the Test-types of Jaeger and Snellen. In one large and very handsome octavo volume of 900 pages. Cloth, §5 ; leather, $6 ; half Russia, raised bands, $6 50. {Just Ready.) The long-continued illness of the author, with its fat.nl termination, has kept this work for some time out of print, and has deprived it of the advantage of the revi.-ion which he sought to give it during the last years of hi? life. This edition ha^s therefore been pla-ed under the editorial supervision of Dr. Bull, who has labored earnestly to introduce in it all the advances which observation and experience have acquired for the theory and practice of ophthalmology since the appearance of the last revision. To accomplish thi.s considerable additions have been required, and the work is now presented in the confidence that it will fully deserve a continu- ance of the very marked favor with which it has hitherto been greeted as a complete, but con- cise, exposition of the principles and facts of its important department of medical science. The additions made in the previous American editions by Dr. Hays have been retained, including the very full series of illustrations and the test-types of Jaeger and Snellen. This new edition of Dr. Wells's great wui-k on ihe guage. In tbe becond edi;ioii, the author showed eye will be welcomed by the profession at large a well as by the oculist. It contain s much new m'tter relating to treatment and pathology, and i.-s brought thoroughly up with the pre-ent ttatus of ophthal- mjlogy. Its chapter on refraction and accommo- datiou—a subject much discussed of late years, and of great importance—is exceedingly complete.— Louisville 3Ied. Ntws, Nov. 13, ISSO. The merits of Wells's treatise on diseases of the eye have been so universally acknowledged, and are so familiar to all who profess to have given any at- tention to ophthalmic surgery, that any discussion of them at this laie day will be a work of superero- gation. Very little that is practically useful in re- ceat ophthalmic literature has escaped the editor, and the third American edition is well up to the times. As a text-book on oph.halmic surgery for the English-speaking practitioner, it is without a rival. —Am. Journ. of Med. Sci., Jan. 18S1. The work has justly held a high place in English ophthalmic literature, and at the time of its first ap- pearance was the best treatise of its kind ia the lan- industriott.-i research in adding new material from every quarter, and his spirit was eminently candid. A work thus baill up by honest effort should not be suffered to die, and we are pleased to receive this third edition from the hands of Dr. Bull. His labor hxs been arduous, as the very great number of addi- tions bracketeu with his initial testify. Under the editorship which the third edition has enjoyed, the work is sure to sustain its good reputation, and to maintain its usefulness.—N. ¥. Mea. Journ., Jan. 18S1. There is really no work which approaches it in adaptation to the wants of the general practitioner, while the most advanced specialist cannot rise from a peni.^al of its ample pages without having added to his knowledge. The American editor, Dr. Bull, won his spurs in ophthalmology some time back. Hii? additions lo the woik of the lamented Wells are many, judicious, and timely, and in just so much have added to its value.—J.r/i. Fractitioner, Jan. IsSl. fJETTLESHIP {EDWARD), F.B.G.S., -^ ' ophthalmic Surg, and Led. on Ophth. Surg, at St. Thomas' Hospital, London. MANUAL OF OPHTHALMIC MEDICINE. In one royal 12mo. volume of over 350 pages, with 89 illustrations. Cloth, $2. (Just Ready.) The author is to be congratulated upou the very , information they contain. We do not hesitate to ful manner in which he has accomplished his : pronounce Mr. Nettleship's book the best manual on ophlhalraic turgery for ihe use of students and succe task; he has succeeded iu being concise without sacrificing clearnes.-j, and, including the whole ground covered by more voluminous text-books, has given an excellent risumi of all the practical busy practitioners with which we are acquain- ted. —Am. Jour. Med. Sciences, April, 1880. c- fARTER [R. BRUDENELL), F.R.G.S., ophthalmic Surgeon to St. George's Hospital, etc. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON DISEASES OF THE EYE. Edit- ed, with test-types and Additions, by John Green, M.D. (of St. Louis, Mo.). In one handsome octavo volume of about 500 pages, and 124 illustrations. Cloth, $.3 75. It is with great pleasure ihaiwecanendorse the work i chapter is devoted to a discus:?iou oi the uses andselec- as a most valuable contribution to practical ophthal-1 tion ofspectacles, and is admirably compact, plain, and raology. Mr. Carter never deviates from the end he has ; useful, especially the paragraphs on the treatment of in view, and presents the subjectin a clear and concist ] pre.'ibyopia and myopia. In conclusion, our thanks are manner, easy of comprehension, and hence the more | due the author for many useful hintsin the great sub- valuable. We would especially commend, however, asject of ophthalmic surgery and therapeutics, afield worthy of high praise, the manner iu which the thera- j where of late years we glean but a few grains of sound peutics of disease of the eje is elaborated, for here the i wheat from a mass of chaff.—New York Medical Record, author is particularly clear and practical, where other Oct. 23,1875. writ-ers are unfortunately too often deficient.
