Abstract
THE appearance of a text-book of pathology which is intended for the use of medical students, and comprises so many of the admirable features of Prof. Adami's larger work, is a very welcome event. “The Principles of Pathology” has taken its place as the standard work on pathology in the English language, but a system of pathology occupying two large volumes is inevitably beyond the powers of the average student, who is obliged, within a limited space of time, to acquire a reasonable knowledge of the numerous subjects of the final examination. The full and detailed treatment which is accorded to the subject in the larger work is, moreover, unsuited to the student at the outset of his studies in pathology. In spite of the authors' claim that the new book is no mere epitome, we are glad to recognise in an abbreviated form many of the best features of the larger work. The articles on inflammation and on the general pathology of tumours are instances in point.
