BY

THE REV. JOHN EADIE, D.D., LL.D.,

"It gives, within a moderate compass, a great amount of information, accurate and well put together. The article on Creation,' with its survey of the question as it stands between Science and the Mosaic Cosmogony, may be cited as a specimen of the candour and liberality with which the editor has done his work."-Spectator.

"We must regard this Bible Dictionary of Dr. Eadie's as decidedly the best adapted for popular use, and have always found it a reliable authority. To the Clergy not possessed of large libraries, and to whom the price of books is important, we can cordially recommend the present volume."-Clerical Journal.

"When Lord Brougham's eloquence in the Senate shall have passed away, and his services as a statesman shall exist only in the free institutions which they have helped to secure, his discourse on Natural Theology will continue to inculcate imperishable truths, and fit the mind for the higher revelations which these truths are destined to foreshadow and confirm.-Edinburgh Review.

CHARLES GRIFFIN & COMPANY'S

Scientific Works.

WORKS by WILLIAM AITKEN, M.D., Edin., F.R.S.

Professor of Pathology in the Army Medical School, Examiner in Medicine for H.M.'s Army, Navy, and E.I. Medical Services, Corresponding Member of the Royal Imperial Society of Physicians of Vienna, of the Society of Medicine and Natural History of Dresden, and of the Imperial Society of Medicine of Constantinople.

The SCIENCE and PRACTICE of MEDICINE. In 2 vols., demy 8vo, cloth, with a Steel Plate, Map, and nearly 200 Woodcuts. Price 38/- Sixth Edition, thoroughly revised and enlarged.

From the amount of additional matter introduced, the two Volumes of the Sixth Edition are, in reality, equivalent to three; a special fount of type having been cast to enable the printer to preserve clearness without adding to the bulk of the work.

The Author has adopted throughout the NEW NOMENCLATURE and followed the ORDER OF CLASSIFICATION of DISEASES published by the ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS in 1869. The DIAGRAMS, illustrative of the typical ranges of body-temperature in FEBRILE DISEASES (which were given in the third edition of this work, in 1863, for the first time in a Text-book), have been, with few exceptions, re-drawn and cut upon a new model.

Additional WoOODCUTS have also been introduced, wherever it was thought that they would render the descriptions in the text more intelligible. In short, no labour or expense has been spared to sustain the well-known reputation of this Work, as "the Representative Book of the Medical Science and Practice of the day."

Opinions of the Press.

"The work is an admirable one, and adapted to the requirements of the Student, Professor, and Practitioner of Medicine............ Malignant Cholera is very fully discussed, and the reader will find a large amount of information not to be met with in other books, epitomised for him in this... The part on Medical Geography forms an admirable feature of the volumes. We know of no work that contains so much, or such full and varied, information on all subjects connected with the Science and Practice of Medicine."-Lancet.

"The extraordinary merit of Dr. Aitken's work...... The author has unquestionably performed a service to the profession of the most valuable kind. The article on Cholera undoubtedly offers the most clear and satisfactory summary of our knowledge respecting that disease which has yet appeared."-Practitioner.

"Altogether this voluminous treatise is a credit to its Author, its Publisher, and to English Physic......Affords an admirable and honest digest of the opinions and practice of the day......Commends itself to us for sterling value, width of retrospect, and fairness of representation."-Medico-Chirurgical Review.

"The Standard Text-Book in the English language......There is, perhaps, no work more indispensable for the Practitioner and Student."-Edin. Medical Journal. "We can say, with perfect confidence, that no medical man in India should be without the Sixth Edition of Dr. Aitken's 'Science and Practice of Medicine.' We say the Sixth Edition, because it is full of new matter. The article on Cholera is by far the most complete, judicious, and learned summary of our knowledge respecting this disease which has yet appeared."-Indian Medical Gazette.
