    In Demy Octavo, Price 8s. boards, (voith ttwo illustrative Engravings ) A TREATISE on the MEDICINAL LEECH, including its medical and natural history; with an account of its very sin- gular anatomical structure. By James Rawlins Johnson, M. D. (of the University of Edinburgh.) The utility of the leech in the practice of the healing art, especially in the country, where cupping is not commonly success- fully performed, renders every thing connected with its history interesting. We must refer to the volume before us for what re- gards the medical, natural, and anatomical history of the leech, where the reader will find much information and some novelty.— Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal. Notwithstanding the importance of the leech in a medical point of view, and the employment of it for the abstraction of blood since very early periods, yet it is remarkable that so little had been done to investigate its natural history. Dr. Johnson has endeavoured to fill up this blank, and has executed the task in a very satisfactory manner.—London Medical Repository. The faculty will be much obliged to Dr. Johnson, for supply- ing a desideratum, which, if we may judge by our own feelings, has long existed. Animals so perpetually in our view, and even in use, the scarcity of which has been so severely felt, claim an interest which it is by no means creditable to have so long over- looked. The interest we have felt in this work has induced us to protract our account longer than such an article might seem to admit. To recommend it would be superfluous, since the medical practitioner will find an interest in every part.—London Medical and Physical Journal. Printed for Messrs. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green. OF WHOM MAY ALSO BE HAD, In 12wio. 9s. boards, with Illustrative Engravings, RESEARCHES into the NATURAL HISTORY of ANTS, By M. P.
