TILDEN & Co's MANUFACTORY OF MEDICINAL EXTRACTS At New Lebanon, New York TILDEN & Co. 98 JOHN STREET. NEW YORK. TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS OF THE NEW-YORK JOURNAL OF MEDICINE. WITH this number we commence the Twenty-second Volume (Twelfth of the New Series) of the NEW-YORK JOURNAL OF MEDICINE AND THE COLLATERAL SCIENCES; and, in doing so, we embrace the opportunity offered of assuring our readers and contributors of the increasing prosperity of the work. In the history of medical periodical literature in this city, we doubt if an instance can be found where so much success, under so many embarrassing circumstances, has attended the development of a work. Based upon the only foundation which can here ensure success, an unreserved and honorable independence, its inception and growth thus far has been healthy, as is evidenced in a steadily increasing inquiry at home and abroad for the work, and a list of contributors second to no similar work published in this country. It is not for us to say whether the increasing patronage is owing to the carnest devotion of the editors and contributors to its interests, or to the peculiar advantages which it enjoys, coming as it does from the metropolis of America, or to all of these circumstances combined; but this much we can say, that the conciousness that the works meets with the approbation of those for whom it is intended, shall continue to throw around it that zeal and devotion which shall sustain, if not increase its reputation as a truthful mirror of the progress of practical medicine and surgery. Our readers will observe that we give them in this issue 158 in place of 144 pages, the stipulated number. The following works have been received : Lectures on Surgical Pathology, delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons of England. By JAMES PAGET, F. R. S., lately Professor of Anatomy and Surgery to the College. London, 1853. Philadelphia: Lindsay & Blackiston, 1854, pp. 699. (From the Publishers.) |
