    LUSK. The Science and Art of Midwifery. By William Thomp- son Lusk, M. A., M. D., Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College ; Obstetric Surgeon to the Maternity and Emergency Hospitals ; and Gynaecologist to the Bellevue Hospital. New edition, revised and enlarged. With 246 Illus- trations. 8vo. Cloth, $5.00 ; sheep, $6.00. Specimens of Illustrations. It is but a short time since we had occasion to review this work, of which we were enabled to speak in the highest terms of praise. The rapid advance of many de- partments of obstetrics has meantime called for a few additions. These having been made, it can be confidently said that Lusk's midwifery holds a high place amongst American authors, and deserves to be extensively employed for reference, and recommended to students as a relia- ble and unusually readable text-book.— Canada Medical and Surgical Journal. The book is now beyond criticism, lor it has been accepted by the unerring judgment of the great body of physicians. We congratulate Dr. Lusk upon this reward for the immense labor he has bestowed upon it.—New York Medical Journal. It contains one of the best expositions of the obstetric science and practice of the day with which we are acquainted. Throughout the work the author shows an intimate acquaintance with the literature of obstetrics, and gives evidence of large practical experience, great discrimination, and sound judgment. We heartily recom- mend the book as a full and clear exposi- tion of obstetric science and safe guide to to student and practitioner.—London Lancet. The work is, perhaps, better adapted to the wants of the student as a text- book, and to the practitioner as a work of reference, than any other one publi- cation on the subject. It contains about all that is known of the an obstetrica, and must add greatly to both the fame and fortune of the distinguished au- thor.—Medical Herald, Louisville. Dr. Lusk's style is clear, generally concise, and he has succeeded in putting in less than seven hundred pages the jest exposition in the English language >f obstetric science and art. The book will prove invaluable alike to the student and the practitioner.'' — American Practi- tioner. Dr. Lusk's book is eminently viable. It can not fail to live and obtain the honor of a second, a third, and nobody can fore- tell how many edi- tions. It is the mature product of great in- dustry and acute ob- servation. It is by far the most learned and most complete expo- sition of the science and art of obstetrics written in the English language. It is a book so rich in scientific and practical in- formation that nobody practicing obstetrics ought to deprive himself of the advantage he is sure to gain from a frequent recourse to its pages.—American Journal of Obstetrics.
