Abstract

(1) THE aim of Prof. Grünbaum's book is to provide the student of pathology with a manual that will serve the same purpose as Prof. Schäfer's well-known book on histology does for the student of normal anatomy. The author has succeeded in compressing into a small compass a great deal of information (and an excellent series of well-chosen figures) without any sacrifice of lucidity of treatment. To select from the enormous amount of material now available the subject-matter for a small manual upon morbid histology for students is a task of great difficulty, and perhaps no two pathologists would make precisely the same choice. It would be easy to criticise any such selection as this book contains; but, on the whole, Prof. Grünbaum has succeeded in producing a work that will be welcomed by all medical students, and we think by most teachers of pathology and medicine. The publishers are to be heartily congratulated on the excellence of their work, and especially on the clearness of the illustrations.
