MEDICINE, SURGERY, &C.

An Introductory Lecture, as delivered at the Royal Dispensary for the Diseases of the Ear, to a Course on the Anatomy, Physiology, and Diseases of that Organ. By J. H. Curtis, esq. 8vo. pp. 42.

The rage for dividing the medical profession into numerous orders is so prevalent, that we shall not be surprised to find doctors for every complaint incidental to the system, and surgeons for every organ of sense. We have now oculists and aurists, dentists, and chiropodists, in abundance, all of them very learned professors who, as they say, by devoting their sole attention to a particular branch, are the better enabled to alleviate the sufferings which flesh is heir to. The misfortune, however, is, that if a poor invalid happens to be attacked by a host of practitioners at the same time, so complication of ailments, he must send for a that while one is operating upon the head, another shall be taking care of the feet, and so on to the great benefit of the patient and the honour of the faculty. In like manner we have now dispensaries for every disorder, and thus charity is ramified like medical practice into innumerable channels, but whether for the removal of ills, or the improvement of science is more than we can presume to decide. Thus much is all that ductory discourse, in the composition of can be expected from us upon this introwhich the Lecturer has made good use of ders." the splendid volume of the lamented Saun

[blocks in formation]

An Epicedium, sacred to the memory of the Princess Charlotte: with Elegiac Tributes written to commemorate Sheridan, Whitbread, and Spencer. By Richard Hatt. 12mo. pp. 24.

We are informed in the dedication, that this little collection of funeral pieces is the last farewell of the author to the muses. Such declarations have been common, but poesy is a very fascinating sin, and most of those who have apostatized for a season have returned again to the draughts of He licon with greater avidity. Whether this will be the case with the bard whose elegiac compositions lie before us, time must shew; but there is a feeling in his sentiments and a fluency in his verse which would almost incline us to predict that he will be yet found loitering at the foot of Parnassus.

Proposals have been circulated for publishing by subscription a new and corrected edition of the Delphin Classics to be entitled the Regent's edition. The task of editing is undertaken by Mr. A. J. VALPY. The work will be printed in a neat and uniform manner; the maps will be beautifully executed; and the wood cuts at present existing in the Delphin and Variorum editions will be inserted. The notes in the last and latest Variorum edition will be printed at the end of each author, and the various readings be placed under the text-thus the Delphin and Variorum editions will be, as it were, incorporated. The best indices will be adapted and carefully collated with the text; the reference will be to the book and chapter, so that the same index will apply to all other editions. The Delphin Interpretatio will be placed under the text; and the Literaria Notitia from the Bipont editions, continued to the present time, will be added to each author, The whole will make about 120, or 130 parts, in 8vo.; and twelve parts will be printed in the year without fail. From the high reputation of the Delphin Classics and the prevailing scarcity of most of them there can be little doubt that this republication will be extensively patronized; especially when it is considered that a complete set of them sold at the Roxburghe sale in 1812 for above 5001, and that a uniform set of the Variorum can scarcely be obtained at any price.
