Abstract
THE first English edition of Ziegler's “Pathological Anatomy” was published in 1884, and at once achieved the success in this country which the original work had already attained in Germany. It is without doubt the best work in pathological anatomy in English. The present edition, translated and edited from the eighth German edition, brings the ever-increasing subject of pathological anatomy up to date, and it may be said at once that the editors have done their work in an excellent and lucid manner. The two volumes under review deal with the pathological changes occurring in particular parts of the body; and with an aspect of the subject which is of great importance to the practitioner, and of great value to the professed pathologist. The latter will find in the work copious references to the literature of each special part of the subject, arranged in a very useful manner. The ordinary medical student will perhaps find the present work (which will be followed by a third volume) too large for his purpose, but for the student for a university degree, and for the working pathologist, Ziegler's “Pathological Anatomy” is a necessity.
