Abstract
SIR EDWARD SHARPEY - SCHAFER'S well-known book on the endocrine organs, which was founded on a course of lectures (Lane Medical Lectures) delivered at Stanford University in California in 1913, is being rewritten in two volumes, of which the first only (1) has so far been published. This volume deals with the general considerations of internal secretions and the organs which furnish them, and then proceeds to a detailed treatment of the thyroids, parathyroids, and suprarenal capsules. Part 2, which deals with the remaining endocrine organs, will appear later.
