    LEHMANN (C. G.) PHYSIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY. Translated from the second edition by George E. Day, M. D., F. R. S., cVc, edited by R. E. Kogers, M. D., Professor of Cliemis^try in the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, with illustrations selected from Funlce's Atlas of Physiological Chemistry, mid an Appendix of plates. Complete in two large and handsome octavo volumes, extra cloth, containing 1200 pages, with nearly two hundred illus- trations. (Jiist Issued.) $6 00. This great work, universally acknowledged as the most complete and authoritative exposition of the principles and details of Zoochemistry, in its passage through the press, has received from Professor Rogers such care as was necessary to present it in a correct and reliable form. To such a work additions were deemed superfluous, but several years having elapsed between the appear- anf'e in Germany of the first and last volume, the latter contained a supplement, embodying nume- rous corrections and additions resulting from the advance of the science. These have all been incor- porated in the text in their appropriate places, while the subjects have been still further elucidated by the insertion of illustrations from the Atlasof Dr. OttoFunke. With the view of supplying the student with the means of convenient comparison, a large number of wood-cuts, from works on kindred subjects, have also been added in the form of an Appendix of Plates. The work is, therefore, pre- sented as in every way worthy the attention of all wiio desire to be familiar with the modern facts and doctrines of JPhysiological Science.

In adopting the handbook of Dr. Lehmann as a manual of Organic Chemistry for the use of the students of the University, and in recommending his original work of Physjological Chemistry for their more mature studies, the high value of his researches, and the great weight of his autho- rity in that important department of medical science are fully recognized.

This work is so universally recognized as the standard authority on the subject, that the pub- lishers in presenting this new edition hci\re only to remark that in its preparation the editor has carefully revised every portion, introducing additions and illustrations wherever the advance of science has rendered them necessary or desirable, constituting it a complete and thorough exponent of the most advanced state of the subject.
