It gives me pleasure to say that the elementary work on Surgery, by M. Bourgery, and now under translation by Drs. Roberts and Kissam of New York, appears to me well calculated for the use of students. So far as I can judge from examination of a small portion of the English text, justice has been done by the translators to the author of the work.

Dear Sirs,
I have examined Bourgery’s manual, or work on Lesser Surgery, and am of opinion that it is an excellent compend, which contains a great deal of matter that will be useful to students. The translation which you are about to make, will deserve a large edition, and I have no doubt will meet with a ready sale.
Yours truly,
GEO. M’CLELLAN.
