It unites the German research of a Plouquet with the ravings of Rabelais,—the humour of Sterne with the satire of Democritus,—the learning of Burton with the wit of Pindar.”—Dr. Johnson’s Review.“In Mr. Atkinson, I have found a gentleman, and a man of varied talent, ardent and active, and of the most overflowing goodness of heart. In his retirement from an honourable profession (Medicine and Surgery), he knows not what the slightest approximation toennuiis. The heartiest of all the octogenarians I ever saw, he scorns a stretch, and abhors a gape. It is ‘up and be doing’ with him from sunrising to sunset.

With Plates, 8vo. cloth, 10s.6d.“The most valuable chapter in the book is that on Ruptured Perinæum. It is in the treatment of this distressing accident, which has long held a prominent place amongst the opprobria of Surgery, that Mr. Brown has, in our opinion, shown the greatest amount of originality, and in which his efforts have been rewarded with the greatest success.”—The Lancet.“We can recommend Mr. Brown’s work most strongly to all those who are called upon to treat the Diseases peculiar to Women, as a book in which they will find a great deal of really valuable practical information.”—Medical Times and Gazette.DR.

The Publisher may well be proud of having issued such a work.”—London Journal of Medicine.“The satisfaction with which we should have announced the completion of this unrivalled work is overclouded by the regret which we feel, in common with all who were acquainted with its distinguished and estimable author, at his early decease. The value of this work can scarcely be over-estimated: it realizes all that we believe it possible for art to effect in the imitation of nature.”—British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review.DR.

MEDICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY. Vol. I. Royal 8vo. 16s.

“We have never encountered so singular and remarkable a book. It unites the German research of a Plouquet with the ravings of Rabelais,—the humour of Sterne with the satire of Democritus,—the learning of Burton with the wit of Pindar.”—Dr. Johnson’s Review.

“In Mr. Atkinson, I have found a gentleman, and a man of varied talent, ardent and active, and of the most overflowing goodness of heart. In his retirement from an honourable profession (Medicine and Surgery), he knows not what the slightest approximation toennuiis. The heartiest of all the octogenarians I ever saw, he scorns a stretch, and abhors a gape. It is ‘up and be doing’ with him from sunrising to sunset. His library is suffocated with Koburgers, Frobens, the Ascensii, and the Stephens.”—Dibdin’s Northern Tour.

It conveys in an agreeable and epistolary style most of the important truths connected with preventive medicine, and their practical application on the development and maturity of mind and body.
