It must safflce to add ihat the book is pro- fusely and accurately illusirated, the references are conscientiously acknowledged, while the result liar, been to produce a treati^e which will hencefoiib rank with the classic writings of Wilde and Von Troltsch. — The Lond. Practiliiiner, May, 1879. On account of the great advances which have been made of late years in otology, and of the increased interest manifested in it, the medical profession will welcome this new work, which presents clearly and concisely its present aspect, whilst clearly indi- cating the direction in which further researches can be most profitably carried on. Dr. Barn-tt from his own matured experience, and availing himself of pa sages as well worthy of quotation and the atten- tion of the general practitioner, lint their number and the space at onr command forbid. Perhaps ii is bet- ter, as th« book ought to be in the hands of every medical studeut, and its study will well rejiay tl?e busy practitioner in the pleasure he will derive from the agreeable style in which many otherwise dry and luosily anknown sulijecis are treated. To the specialist tlie work is of the highest value, and his sense of graiilude to Dr. Burnett will we hope, be proportionate to the amount of benefit lie can obtain from the carelul study of the book, and a constant reference to its trustworthy pages.—Edinburgh Med.

Tims, Dec. 4, 1880. the latest thoughts and emendations of Dr. Taylor, upon the subject to which he devo ed hirt life, with an assiduity aud success which made him facile prinreps among English writers on medical juris- prudence. Both the author and the book have mdde a mark too deep to be affected by criticism, whether it be censure or praise. In this case, how- ever, we should only have to seek for laudatory teims.—Am. Jnurn. of Med. Sci., Jan. ISSl. It is not very often that a m-idical book reaches its tenth edition, or that the last earthly labor is per- formed by the author in reioucluag the work that llrst came from his hand thirty-five years before. All this, however, has h.ippened ia the ca>e of Dr. Taylor and his classical treatise. The pen dropped from the grasp only when the shadows of old age were rapidly deepening into the darkness of death. Under the circamstances, all the journalist has to do It will suffice to remarit that this new edition shows the signs of judicious revision. A great uum- ber of illustrative medico-legal cases which have occurred since the last edition was puhlished are cited in heir proper connection, and add luach to the interest and value of the work; they comprise the buls of the additions to the text. As an iodica.- tionofthe reshuesiof the work, we notice n'jmer- ous references to medic i-legal experience that has transpired during the year just ended ; among tbes-e is a comment by the American editor upon that midsummer madness, the T.inner fasting exploit of last Augist. la these features and in others there is ample evidence that this admirable book will maintain its hi^h place as a standard authority con- cerning thf matters of which it ire-Ais.—Jiuston Mad. and Sarg.

This statement from the preface contains all that it is de- sired to know in reference to the new edition The works of this author are already in the library of every physician who is liable to be called upon for medico-legal testimony (and whatuneis not?), so that all that Is required to be known about the present book is that the author has kept it abreast with the Dr. Taylor hat brought to bear on the compilation of this volume, stores of learning, experience, and practicalacquaiutanee with his subject, probably tar beyond what any other living authority on toxicol- ogy could have amassed or utilized. He has fully sustained his reputation by the consummate skill and legal acumen he has displayed in thearrange- , . ,, , ment of tne subject-matter, and the result is a work times.
