"Several of the American Journals are before us * * *
Of these the American Journal of the Medical Sciences
is by far the better periodical; it is, indeed, the best of the
trans-atlantic medical publications; and, to make a comparison
nearer home, is in most respects superior to the
great majority of European works of the same description."—The
Lancet, Jan. 1831.
"We need scarcely refer our esteemed and highly eminent
cotemporary, [The American Journal of the Medical
Sciences,] from whom we quote, to our critical remarks
on the opinions of our own countrymen, or to the principles
which influence us in the discharge of our editorial
duties." "Our copious extracts from his unequalled publication,
unnoticing multitudes of others which come before
us, are the best proof of the esteem which we entertain
for his talents and abilities."—London Medical and
Surgical Journal, March, 1830.
"The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is one
of the most complete and best edited of the numerous
periodical publications of the United States."—Bulletin
