It is strictly limited to minor surgery. Under what may be called general surgery it covers but twenty-five pages, yet we venture to think that in the main it covers the field of surgery which can be carried out in an out-patient theatre. This is surprising, as otherwise the surgery may be said to be such as may be carried out by a senior student acting under a senior resident or junior honorary.
The rest of this part is given up to minor techniques and operations in special departments : ear, nose, and throat ; eye ; urological ; and gynaecological.
It is a book which any student must find of the greatest value to him in his training as a practical man. It is eminently one which deals with all those practical methods which when applied, whether in out-patient, ward theatre, or laboratory, will mark out a man as well trained, eficient, and capable of acting. Though very thorough and detailed, it is devoid of padding. We can fancy no better book in the hands of the keen man than this, wherein, when the day is over, he can read at leisure and critically review the work he has done or seen done.
The book is excellently got up, the print is good, and its value is greatly enhanced by the number and excellence of its illustrations.
The fourth part deals with minor operative technique.
No mention, however, is made of circumcision.
