SOME PRESS OPINIONS
‘No one could read it through without acquiring a large amount of sound information, not only in regard to the organs of the human body, their functions and the diseases to which they are liable, but also a good deal of learning in regard to such important matters as clothing, diet, exercise, sanitation, and ventilation. It is a thoroughly practical, useful book, singularly complete, which should be welcome in many households.’—Scotsman.
‘This is a book which would prove useful from time to time in any household, and is moreover so well written—its prime merit that of clearness as to furnish reading of an interesting character quite apart from the idea of turning the information to immediate use.’—Guardian.
‘Medical terms are arranged and explained in alphabetical order, and the details given are so practical and clearly put that it is a book we would strongly recommend to nurses. By having this book in the house the nurse need not be obliged to write to busy journals on simple medical matters, but in addition to finding the answer to occasional queries, we can confidently say that nurses will find this an admirable text-book for occasional study.... This book is the best seven-and-sixpence worth for a nurse that we have seen for some time past.’—Nursing Times.
‘It would be difficult to think of anything in medical terminology that is not indexed and sufficiently explained in this very compact, well-printed, and up-to-date volume of 850 pages. The descriptions are marvellously clear and detailed.... The illustrations are well selected and clearly printed. The Dictionary is altogether admirable, and will prove itself useful alike to the junior student, the nurse, the ship-captain, or such as cannot command expert attention in time of sickness or accident.’—Glasgow Herald.
‘The fact that this Medical Dictionary comes from a firm so well known as the publishers of “Who’s Who,” and is uniform with that reliable and valuable work of reference, will be some guarantee of the genuine character of “Black’s Medical Dictionary.”... We regard it as a practical and valuable work.’—Sheffield Daily Independent.

FOOTNOTES:
[A] Although its appearance might suggest otherwise, the writer and four others (including ladies) were given an excellent dinner, clean rooms, and every possible attention at this little hotel. The car was put into a lofty barn at the end of the courtyard.
[B] Contemporary Review, September, 1909.
[C] April, 1909.
[D] These towers do not appear to be disused windmills, but, having omitted to make inquiries locally, the writer is unable to describe their uses. None of the French topographical writers on this part of France appear to consider them worthy of comment.
[E] They were an invention of Sir William Congreve in 1803.
[F] Fiona Macleod.
[G] Eagles are not uncommon in the Pyrenees. The writer noticed a large bird in the Pass of Velate which he took to be an eagle, but owing to the failing light it was impossible to be certain.
[H] Joanne gives the date 1765, but it is incorrect.
[I] The people in the neighbourhood of Albi were known as the Albigenses. They were of superior intelligence and education, and denounced the vices of the priesthood, the sacrifice of the Mass, Purgatory, and image-worship, and were therefore regarded as heretics.
[J] This is mentioned by Hare and Baedeker, but the writer has not seen it.
[K] The author would refer the reader to his volume ‘Along the Rivieras of France and Italy’ (Dent).
[L] 20 fr. Motor Union, 25 fr. Royal Automobile Club.
