THE NEW SYDENHAM SOCIETY. The following extract from the Laws of the Society will sufficiently explain its objects: I. "The Society is instituted for the purpose of supplying certain acknowledged deficiences in the existing means of diffusing medical literature, and shall be called The New Sydenham Society. II. "The Society shall carry out its objects by a succession of publications, of which the following shall be the chief: "1. Translations of Foreign Works, Papers, and Essays of merit, to be reproduced as early as practicable after their original issue. 2. British Works, Papers, Lectures, &c., which, whilst of great value, have become from any cause difficult to be obtained, excluding those of living authors. 3. Annual Volumes, consisting of Reports in Abstract of the progress of the different branches of Medical and Surgical Science during the year, 4. Dictionaries of Medical Bibliography and Biography. Those included under Nos. 1 and 2 shall be held to have the first claim on the attention of the Society, and the carrying out of those under 3 and 4 shall be considered dependent upon the amount of funds which may be placed at its disposal." Several handsome volumes are issued every year, and members receive notice of their arrival immediately upon their receipt from London by the Secretary in Philadelphia. The duty and expenses on their importation are paid by the members, who are requested to give detailed instructions respecting the mode by which they wish their volumes to be forwarded, and also to remember that the Society's responsibility ceases when the book has been delivered according to the instructions given. The subscription constituting a member is Seven Dollars and a half, to be paid in advance on the 1st of January annually, entitling the subscriber to a copy of every work published for that year. No books are issued to any member until his subscription for the year has been paid. The best mode of sending money is by post office order, payable to the Secretary at Philadelphia. RICHARD J.
