The Workingman's Companion is issued under the superintendence of the British Society for the diffusion of useful knowledge, and deserves to be read by the workingmen and political economists of every country.

"It will be seen that we have been much pleased with Dr Hall's work generally; we think it is calculated to do much good in placing the subject of the due institution of bloodletting on a practical basis. Dr Hall has subjoined a plan of a register of cases of bloodletting, which would be a most useful record, if properly kept; and we cannot recommend such a detail of facts to practitioners in too high terms." American Journal of Medical Sciences, No. XI.

"It is not for us to say how large may have been the number of sufferers, but we know, some have perished from direct exhaustion complicated with reaction, who might have been saved, if the principles and practice of our author had been known and understood." -N.

"It is a source of genuine gratification to meet with a work of this character, when it is so often our lot to be obliged to labour hard to winnow a few grains of information from the great mass of dullness, ignorance, and mis-statement with which we are beset, and cannot too highly recommend it to the attention of the profession.”—American Journal of the Medical Sciences, No. X.

VII. THE SURGEON-DENTIST'S MANUAL. The Surgeon-Dentist's Anatomical and Physiological Manual. By G. WAITE, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, &c. &c. In one vol. 18mo.
