This condensed edition of Park's "Surgery by American Authors" is the evident result of a call by the profession for a briefer but equally authoritative and valuable treatise. The earlier edition in its two-volume form has already been noticed in The Journal, and its merits acknowledged. The present work, while abridged, has also been revised, though no extensive changes have been required or made. It will not supplant the larger work for those who wish its fuller information, but it will have a larger circulation among the mass of the profession, which will be insured, if by nothing else, by the difference in price.
