“This little work, though not designed for the medical profession, may prove very useful to the medical student--perhaps to many medical practitioners. Be this as it may, it is calculated to prove of eminent service to the reading and more intelligent portions of the public at large.”--_Medico-Chirurg. Review_, No. XLI. “We would strongly recommend the perusal of Dr Combe’s excellent work; it is far superior to any of the kind that we have met with.”--_Dr Clark in Cyclop. of Pract. Medicine_, Part XXIII. “We are refreshed and delighted with a book that, after perusal, is associated in our minds with much instruction.”--_London Med. and Surg. Journal_, No. CXXXIV. “The valuable series of the Family Library embraces no work that bids fairer to acquire--and certainly no number which deserves--a wider popularity.”--_Review of American Edition in the Knickerbocker, or New York Monthly Magazine, Aug. 1834._ “We should have been contented to have left the merits of this volume to the decision of journals whose more immediate province it is to discuss such matters; but on looking over the book we have found so much to interest us, and so much that is of importance to our readers to know, that we feel we should have neglected a duty had we omitted to recommend it to the public.”--_Monthly Magazine, Oct. 1834._ MACLACHLAN & STEWART, Edinburgh; and SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, & CO. London. _This day is published, in one volume post 8vo, pp. 350, price 7s. 6d._ A SECOND EDITION OF THE PHYSIOLOGY OF DIGESTION CONSIDERED WITH RELATION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF DIETETICS. By ANDREW COMBE, M. D. MACLACHLAN & STEWART, Edinburgh; LONGMAN, & CO., and SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, & CO., London. _Lately published, by the same Author, in post 8vo, pp. 420, Price 7s. 6d._ OBSERVATIONS ON MENTAL DERANGEMENT, &c. By ANDREW COMBE, M. D. In the above work, dedicated to the elucidation of the Causes, Symptoms, Nature, and Treatment of the various Morbid States of the Brain and Nervous System which are productive of Insanity, the Author has endeavoured to apply the same pathological principles by which we are guided in our investigations into diseases of the other bodily organs, and to point out the analogy which subsists between many of these and the less familiar affections of the nervous system. Dr Combe’s “work upon insanity is short, and sound, and modest, like all that gentleman’s writings, and richly deserving the perusal of every educated person, whether in the profession or not.”--_Dr son’s Clinical Lecture on Insanity in Medical Gazette_, No. CLXX.
