Abstract
THE issue of January 25 of the Medical Press and Circular is a centenary double number. This journal is, as the name suggests, the combination of two, namely, the Dublin Medical Press, founded in Dublin in 1839, and the Medical Circular, founded in London in 1852, the union taking place in 1866. Prof. Rowlette of Dublin contributes a short history of the journal during the hundred years, with biographical notes on the various editors. Dr. Cecil Wall and Mr. Walter Spencer discuss the progress of medicine and of surgery, respectively, during the period; an illustrated article on “Some Medical Celebrities of the Victorian Age”, as depicted in cartoons of Vanity Fair, is contributed by Sir St.Clair Thomson, the cartoons being reproduced together with actual portraits; and a chronological list of medical societies and journals in Great Britain and Ireland is furnished by Mr. Reginald West. Other articles and reviews complete a very interesting number.
