Manual of Human Microscopical Anatomy. By A. Kolliker, Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in Wurzburg. Translated by Geo. Bush, F.R.S., and Thomas Huxley, F.R.S. Edited, with notes and additions, by J. Da Costa, M.D. Illustrated by 313 engravings on wood. One vol. 8vo. $3.75.

It would be useless for us to attempt a review of this work, for the text is so fully illustrated by engravings, and is so intimately associated with them, that we cannot extract any part as a sample of the style, without weakening its force, for the want of its accompanying illustration. The book must be read and studied before an adequate idea can be formed of its value and excellence. The book comes from such high authority, and is indorsed by such competent judges, as to make it at once indispensable to the student of microscopic anatomy. We hope it will have an extensive circulation.—Western Lancet.

The reputation of Professor Kolliker, acquired by his former and larger work on microscopical anatomy, will be enhanced by this text book on Histology, for such it is destined to be pre eminently. The text is fully illustrated by engravings, greatly adding to the value of the work, and accompanied by explicit explanations of the figures. We commend it to the profession, and to students especially, as worthy of their patronage.—N. Y. Medical Gazette.
