The first publication of the University of Manchester calls for

notice, though it is of chiefly local interest. This is the Sketches of the Life and Work of the Honorary Medical Staff of the Man- chester Infirmary, 1752-1830, by E. M. Brockbank, M.D. (Uni- versity Press, Manchester, 15s. net). Some of the fifty-odd physicians and surgeons who are described were of more than local and passing reputation, and there are now and then interesting details, as, e.g., of Manchester Jacobitism.
