COPLAND'S DICTIONARY OF PRACTICAL MEDICINE.
A Dictionary of Practical Medicine; comprising a General
Pathology, the Nature and Treatment of Diseases,
Morbid Structures, &c. By James Copland, M.D., F.R.S.
Edited, with Additions, by Charles A. Lee, M.D. Now
publishing in Parts, price 50 cents each. About 25 Parts
to complete the Work, 12 of which are now published.
The great recommendation of this dictionary is its terseness and precision.
Dr. Copland's references to the sources whence he derives the
information he conveys are admirably placed, giving the essence of the
knowledge necessary to be communicated in order to a right understanding
of the subject which is treated, without entering into the diffuseness
of the original text.—New-Orleans Bulletin.
Dr. Copland has here published a series of essays which may be justly
said to be unrivalled for extent and accuracy of information, methodic
arrangement, and the condensed form in which they are composed. If
he proceeds as he has commenced, he will produce a work which is yet
unrivalled in the English language.—Edin. Medical and Surgical Journ.
