LOUDON'S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF TREES AND SHRUBS-continued.

"The original of this work, in eight 8vo. volumes, was one of the many extraordinary instances of industry which Mr. Loudon's career as an author has produced, and which have given him great claims to the gratitude of gardeners. But the price of the book placed it beyond the means of ordinary buyers. Ten pounds for a single book is a sum not to be thought of by the mass of garden lovers, and therefore the original, with all its merit, could only be seen in the libraries of the wealthy, in all of which, however, it ought to be found. We, therefore, announce with satisfaction the appearance of this valuable abridgment, not costing more than a quarter the price of the original, and containing all the most valuable of the woodcuts, with illustrative letterpress. In its present form it is within the reach of thousands who could not before hope to obtain it, and we strongly recommend it to universal patronage."-Dr. Lindley, in The Gardener's Chronicle.

"We feel it a great duty to record our opinion-that, as there is no medical practitioner in this country, old or young, high or low, who will not derive great pleasure and great profit by consulting Dr. Copland's Dictionary, so we think there is no one who should not add the work to his library. The information amassed in these volumes is literally enormous, and contemplated simply as an accumulation, it must excite astonishment as the production of an individual; but when it is further considered, that the whole of the materials have been most carefully selected from all existing sources, most patiently studid, valued, winnowed, digested, elaborated, and arranged into compact and simple forms, easily accessible, and readily available in practice, it is not easy to point out, in the whole range of medical literature, any work by a single hand so much calculated to excite admiration of the industry and talents of the author. On every article contained in the volumes, the reader cannot fail to be struck with the writer's most extensive learning, which has enabled him to collect knowledge from all authorities, ancient and modern, foreign and domestic; and he will, at the same time, be no less surprised than gratified at the singular power which has arranged the whole so lucidly and in such systematic order."

BRITISH AND FOREIGN MEDICAL REVIEW.

This work is now in course of publication in Parts, nine Parts, forming Vols. 1 and 2, having appeared. It contains, in an abstract and condensed, yet comprehensive, form, the opinions and practice of the most experienced writers, British and Foreign, so digested and wrought up with the results of the Author's practice, that the Student and Young Practitioner will not be bewildered in the diversity of the opinions and facts adduced for their instruction, but be guided in the difficult path on which they have entered, and enabled, with a due exercise of their powers of observation and discrimination, to arrive at just conclusions and successful practical results. To the experienced Practitioner, also, the work presents a diversified range of opinions, methods of cure, and authorities, which his matured judgment will enable him to apply, in an appropriate manner, to particular cases. It also comprises the complications and modified states of Disease, which are even more frequently met with in practice than those specific forms too often described by Nosologists as constant and unvarying types, to which morbid actions, occurring under a great variety of circumstances, can never closely adhere. When discussing the methods of Cure, the Author gives Formulæ of the Medicines recommended, in the most efficient and improved forms of combination. He likewise furnishes numerous References to the best Works and Treatises on the topics discussed in each article.

In conclusion, the work will contain the results of many years of laborious study and research, and of twenty years' extensive and diversified experience.
