The style is simple, agreeable, and eminently proper and delicate, conspicuously so when treating of such difficult topics to handle in a popular book, yet so necessary to be handled, as the marital relations of husband and wife, the consummation of marriage, etc. We do not doubt that this work will find as large a sale both in and out of the profession in this country, as the works of Bock and Klencke in Germany, and of Tilt and Chavasse in England. * * * * * FROM THE NASHVILLE JOURNAL OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY FOR NOVEMBER, 1869. The outside of this book is more stylish and artistic than any the market has owed to the press this season. The type and paper of the inside are in keeping with the elegant exterior. The work contains much valuable matter, in a style peculiarly attractive. It is intended to treat woman as a rational being, to let her know much about herself as a woman, that from this knowledge she may prevent and therefore escape much of the suffering endured by her sex. And who can do this but a physician? This may be regarded as the first attempt of the kind in this country. * * * * * FROM THE MEDICAL RECORD, NEW YORK, JAN. 15, 1870. Doctor Napheys, in his work on "The Physical Life of Woman," has acquitted himself with infinite credit. The subject, which for a work of its size takes a very wide range, is treated in choice, nay elegant language, and we have not noticed a single expression upon the most delicate matter that could offend the most refined taste. There are, too, a great many interesting historical facts connected with the general topic, both in an ethical and physiological point of view, which show much discrimination in their production, and a good amount of sterling scholarship. To the medical reader there are many points in the book that are worthy of attention, prominent among which are remarks bearing upon the right of limitation of offspring. We sincerely hope that, for the real benefit of American women, it may meet with a hearty reception, and be productive of great good, in preventing many of those disorders now so rife in the community, which are solely the result of ignorance of the ordinary laws of female hygiene. No one, however scrupulous, need fear to admit the work within the pale of his family circle, and place it, with confidence, in the hands of his daughters. * * * * * FROM THE NEW YORK MEDICAL GAZETTE, JAN. 8, 1870. Though professedly written for popular instruction, this little book will not fail to instruct as well the professional reader. We cordially recommend the perusal of Dr. Napheys' book to every woman seeking a fuller acquaintance with her physical organism. * * * * * FROM THE BOSTON MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL, NOV. 25, 1869.
