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.
