l'irst Aid to the Injured. Five Ambulance Lecturoa by Dr.
Friedrich Esmarch, Professor of Surgery at the University of Kiel, Translated from the German by H.R.II. Princess Christian. (Smith, Elder, and Co.)—This is a very simple, very lucid, and very concise little book, intended to teach laymen who have had no medical education how best to treat persons who have been wounded, burned, bruised, drowned, or otherwise injured, until professional aid can be obtained, so as to prevent 'needless suffering, or needless aggravation of the injury in the interval. The little book is accompanied by admirable diagrams, which greatly add to its intelligibility and value. It seems to us hardly possible to convey the popular information needful to minimise the disadvantage of the lack of surgical care, in a terser or more adequate manner than Professor Estrum]] has conveyed it in these five valuable ambulance lectures,—for her clear translation of which the English public has much reason to thank the Princess Christian.
