“This is an excellent compilation, and one that cannot fail to be very much referred to. It is the best medical lexicon in the English language that has yet appeared. We do not know any volume which contains so much information in a small compass. The Bibliographical notices, though so short, are very important and useful; and altogether we can recommend to every medical man to have this work by him, as the cheapest and best dictionary of reference he can have.”—London Medical and Surgical Journal.
“So far as we have been able to examine this Dictionary, it is exceedingly thorough and correct, not only in matters purely medical, but in whatever can fairly be arranged in the various branches of science, collateral or contributary to Medicine and Surgery.”—Medical Magazine.
“So well known are the merits of this valuable work, that, in noticing a second edition of it, it will suffice to extract the remark of the author in the preface, ‘that it will be found to contain many hundred terms more than the first, and to have experienced numerous additions and modifications.’ It has been got up by the publishers in very handsome style, and must command, as it deserves, an extended circulation.”—Medical Examiner.
“It is wholly unnecessary, we apprehend, to enter into a long or formal statement of the fact, that Dr. Dunglison’s Dictionary, from the first day of its appearance, has been regarded with peculiar favour. And we have now a revised edition, constructed under the immediate eye of the author, who is most favourably circumstanced for adding to the previous edition whatever could give it additional claims on the score of accuracy. Here are eight hundred and twenty-one pages, large octavo, in double colums, distinct type, of which no one ought to complain. Finally, although most of our readers may be owners of the first edition, we cordially and conscientiously recommend to all future purchasers to procure this in preference to any medical lexicon extant. Its true and sterling value as a key to medical science, and its moderate price, are so many common-sense recommendations which should not be forgotten.”—Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.

IN ONE VOLUME, OCTAVO.
“The value of this book is hardly to be estimated; to be without it, would be very much like obstinacy, and amount to the same thing as saying, like the Austrians in regard to their government, nothing can be improved, for we already live in a state of perfection. Dr. Dunglison, the author, has done an essential service to all classes of practitioners. It is creditable to the industry and wise discrimination of the author, and quite necessary to the libraries of those who feel the necessity of keeping pace with the improvements and discoveries in the broad but imperfectly exploded domain of medicine.”—Boston Medical and Surgical Journal.
