36. _Sketch of the Medical Literature of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway--by_ Dr. C. OTTO, _of Copenhagen, apud Bulletin des Sci. Med. Feb. and March._--"Denmark is richer in medical literature, than the other countries which in conjunction with it, composed the ancient Scandinavia. Although it does not in this respect, bear a comparison with France, Germany, England, and Italy, nevertheless, medicine, of all the sciences, seems to be that which is most successfully cultivated, and Copenhagen contains a great number of learned, and able physicians." In proof of what Denmark has done, Dr. O. refers us to the great names of the two BARTHOLINS, of STENO, of WINSLOW, of CALLISEN, &c. "In the 16th century, Denmark possessed the anatomical works of the two BARTHOLINS: (_Instit. Anatomicae de vasis lymphaticis, &c._) and other works of the same kind, which have been translated into all the languages of Europe. STENO, the disciple of THOMAS BARTHOLIN, followed the career of his master, with an equal success. HALLER never spoke of this anatomist, without the highest admiration. RODE enriched the literature of Germany and Denmark, with works which have made his name illustrious, wherever science is cultivated. Among these, we may chiefly distinguish his Bibliotheca, and Materia Medica." The Danes are indebted to him for several popular works on medicine, which are in the judgment of Dr. OTTO, chef d'oeuvres of this sort of writing. He published more than 13 volumes on these topics. "To the celebrated CALLISEN, who is recently deceased, we are indebted for 1st, a _Systema Chirurgiae Hodiernae_, a work of the highest merit, and which has reached a fourth edition. 2nd, a Medical Topography of Copenhagen, published in Danish. (2 _vols._ _8vo. Copen._ 1807.) 3d, the Director of the Academy of Surgery. He is also the author of several important memoirs, inserted in those of the _Roy. Soc. of Sciences_, of Denmark, and in some other collections. The late professor MATH. SAXTORPH, composed an excellent _manual of labours_, for the use of midwives. A second edition with plates, appeared in 1804. T. L. BANG, has given a _Praxis Medica_, an excellent guide to young physicians in their first outset in practice. HERHOLDT has shed some lustre on Danish Physiology: his dissertations on the life of the foetus, and on the question, whether vision is performed with both eyes, or with one only, bear testimony to his genius and penetration: he is also author of a memoir on penetrating wounds of the Chest, inserted, as well as the former dissertation, and many other pieces, in various medical journals.
