✦ Synopsis

O F BOOKS 663

this book went to press, for they will find everything relevant within its covers. They will get plenty of practice in sifting evidence-they may even wish that some of the more obsolete references had been omitted-but when they have read it they will know all that was known on the subject of goitre in 1931.

Mr. Joll is to be complimented on the illustrations and diagrams, and the publishers on producing a book that will take a very high place in British medical literature. (The word resected, page 623, four lines from the bottom, is probably a misprint, and, if so, is the only one discovered in the book.
