AB This textbook on operative surgery, for students and practitioners, differs somewhat from other works on operative surgery in that all the larger divisions begin with a collective historical sketch of the field concerned. In case of the various regional operations, the section dealing with operative technic is preceded by a brief statement of diagnosis, the indications for operation, and choice of anesthesia, and is followed by points on the postoperative care in the particular operation. The author's original plan was to bring forth a new edition of von Bergman and Roch's "Operative Course on the Cadaver" but he has produced instead an entirely new book, one in which he presents essentially the operative methods developed and valuable lessons learned from many years of experience by Payr and his school, of which Kleinschmidt was for years a member. The various operative procedures are rather briefly though adequately described, and excellently illustrated,
