BY ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M. D., M. A. P. S. PHILADELPHIA: PUBLISHED BY A. WALDIE, NO. 46, CARPENTER STREET, PREFACE. At the expiration of the second year of the American Medical Library and Intelligencer, the editor trusts his subscribers will have found that there has been no relaxation in his efforts to render his publication what it has always purported to be," a concentrated record of medical science and literature."

Kramer on Diseases of the Ear, Dr. James Hamilton's Practical Observations on Midwifery, Mr. James Syme on Diseases of the Rectum, Dr. Jonathan Osborne on the nature and treatment of Dropsical Diseases, Dr. Jonathan Green on Diseases of the Skin, Mr. W.

Rowland on Neuralgia, Dr. R. Dunglison's Observations on the Condition of the Insane Poor, Dr. F. Churchill on the Diseases of Females, and Dr. Lallemand on Involuntary Seminal Discharges; the cost of the originals of which, in this country, would not be less, to our subscribers, than sixty dollars. Besides these, the following essays on particular subjects have appeared in the "Library." Dr. J. Clendenning's Croonian Lectures, Experiments and Observations on the Pathology of the Heart, and Sir A. Cooper on Spermatocele or Varicocele of the Spermatic Cord.
