✦ Synopsis

THIS is a book which will interest all thoughtful surgeons, for it is written by a surgeon who has had an interesting background of pathology. It is written from the point of view of a clinician and correlates in an able manner the clinical condition with its underlying pathology. Perhaps the main feature of the book is the 368 coloured plates of ample size and reproduced in a beautiful manner. These plates depict the gross and microscopical features of many and vaned surgical conditions. Congenital defects, inflammation, and neoplasms are arranged and presented in sequence.

The reviewer only wishes he had such help in his student days when books of this calibre were non-existent. But students are not the only people who will benefit by reading this book; it will be found of value to professors of surgery and general pathology.
