Prof. Neumann ranks second only to Hebra, whose assistant he was for many years, and his work may be considered as a fair exponent of the German practice of Dermatology. The book is abundantly illustrated with plates of the histology and pathology of the skin. The translator has endeavored, by means of notes from French, English, and American sources, to make the work valuable to the student as well as to the practitioner.

"It is a work which I shall heartily recommend to my class of students at the University of Pennsylvania, and one which I feel sure will do much toward enlightening the profession on this subject."-Louis A. Duhring.

"I know it to be a good book, and I am sure that it is well translated; and it is interesting to find it illustrated by references to the views of co-laborers in the same field."Erasmus Wilson.

"So complete as to render it a most useful book of reference."-T. McCall Anderson. "There certainly is no work extant which deals so thoroughly with the Pathological Anatomy of the Skin as does this hand-book."-N. Y. Medical Record.

"The original notes by Dr. Bulkley are very practical, and are an important adjunct to the text.. I anticipate for it a wide circulation."-Silas Durkee, Boston.

"I have already twice expressed my favorable opinion of the book in print, and am glad that it is given to the public at last."-James C. White, Boston.

"More than two years ago we noticed Dr. Neumann's admirable work in its original shape; and we are therefore absolved from the necessity of saying more than to repeat our strong recommendation of it to English readers."-Practitioner.

Fully illustrated, and abounding with information the result of a prolonged study of the subject, the work should be in the hands of every physician in the country.
