DISEASES OF THE LIVER, GALL-BLADDER AND BILE-DUCTS
Second Edition. Illustrated. 8vo.
31s. 6d. net.
_LANCET._--“An admirable work of reference in every sense. It presents
all the information obtainable from a very wide experience and an
encyclopaedic acquaintance with the literature of the subject in a
practical, interesting, and readily available manner.... We feel
confident that it will long remain the standard work of reference upon
the subjects of which it treats.”
_BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL._--“This is the most considerable work on
diseases of the liver which has appeared since the classical treatise
of Murchison. It fully deserves to take a high place among modern
text-books, and we heartily congratulate Dr. Rolleston on his success.”
_EDINBURGH MEDICAL JOURNAL._--“This compendious treatise is a veritable
mine of information on diseases of the liver and biliary passages.
No aspect of the subject, however small, seems to have escaped the
author’s notice, and his elaborate descriptions of the pathology and
clinical signs of liver disease, drawn from his own large experience
and an exceptional acquaintance with the literature, render the book
invaluable for study and for reference.... Dr. Rolleston’s book is
unquestionably a standard authority, and is a model of what a treatise
on a single department of medicine ought to be.”
