WATSON'S ANNALS OF PHILADELPHIA AND PENNSYLVANIA IN THE OLDEN TIME.
BEING A COLLECTION OF MEMOIRS, ANECDOTES, AND INCIDENTS OF THE CITY AND
ITS INHABITANTS.
AND OF THE _Earliest Settlements of the Inland part of Pennsylvania,
from the days of the Founders._
INTENDED TO PRESERVE THE RECOLLECTIONS OF OLDEN TIME, AND TO Exhibit
Society in its Changes of Manners and Customs, and the City and Country
in their Local Changes and Improvements.
BY JOHN F. WATSON,
Member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and Honorary Member of
the Historical Societies of New York and Massachusetts.
REVIEW NOTICES.--"This is a great curiosity. Such a book has never
before been produced in the United States. The Annalist will enjoy a
peerless fame--we trust his work will be universally bought and read."
"No American who can read should be without a copy of this invaluable
contribution to our early American history." "It seems to convey us back
to other times--we see things as they were--_minutely and particularly_,
and not as presented in stately and buskined history, in one general
view--vague, glimmering, indistinct." "This is in truth a work without
example for its imitation, and with equal truth it is in execution a
work _sui generis_." "It is a museum that will never cease to attract.
It deserves the gratitude of the country and the patronage of the
reading community. It will furnish the historian, the biographer, and
the patriotic orator, with matter to adorn and beautify their
productions."

THE STATE OF SURGICAL SCIENCE IN ITS PRESENT ADVANCED CONDITION.
BY JOSEPH PANCOAST, M. D.,
Professor of General, Descriptive and Surgical Anatomy in Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia.
_Complete in One Royal 4to. Volume of 380 pages of letterpress
description and eighty large 4to. plates, comprising 486 Illustrations,
and being the only complete work on the subject in the English Language.
Price, full bound in cloth, only $10._
Second Edition, Improved.
"This excellent work is constructed on The model of the French Surgical
Works by Velpeau and Malgaigne; and, so far as the English language is
concerned, we are proud as an American to say that, OF ITS KIND IT HAS
NO SUPERIOR."--_New York Journal of Medicine._
"For this beautiful volume, the student and practitioner of Surgery will
feel grateful to the ability and industry of Prof. Pancoast. The drawing
and execution of the plates are splendid examples of American art, and
do credit to Messrs. Cichowski and Duval, while the description is no
less creditable to the author. We have examined the book with care, and
feel great pleasure in declaring that, in our opinion, it is a most
valuable addition to the surgical literature of the United States. It
was a happy idea to illustrate this department of surgery, as it renders
perfectly clear what the very best verbal description often leaves
obscure, and is, to some extent, a substitute for witnessing operations.
To those practitioners especially, who are called upon occasionally,
only, to perform operations, we are not acquainted with any volume
better calculated for reference prior to using the knife. There are
similar works published in Europe, but they are much more expensive,
without being superior in point of usefulness to the very cheap volume
before us.
"All the modern operations for the cure of squinting, club-foot, and the
replacing lost parts and repairing deformities from partial destruction
of the nose, &c., are very clearly explained and prettily illustrated.
It is questionable whether anything on this subject can be better
adapted to its purpose, than Pancoast's Operative Surgery."--_Saturday
Courier._
III.
GODDARD ON THE TEETH.
THE ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND DISEASES OF THE TEETH AND GUMS, WITH THE
MOST APPROVED METHODS OF TREATMENT, INCLUDING OPERATIONS, AND A GENERAL
ACCOUNT OF THE METHOD OF MAKING AND SETTING Artificial Teeth.
BY PAUL BECK GODDARD, M. D.,
Professor of Anatomy and Histology in the Franklin College of
Philadelphia.
In One 4to. Volume, illustrated by 30 beautifully executed Plates, each
containing Numerous Figures, handsomely bound in cloth.
Price Six Dollars.
_Uniform with "Quain's Anatomy," "Pancoast's Surgery," and "Moreau's
Midwifery."_
"We do not possess a modern work on Dental Surgery, written by a British
Author, which equals that of Dr. Goddard.--One reason for this may arise
from the circumstance, that the learned author is a practical anatomist,
whose knowledge is on a level with the modern discoveries, and who has
himself authenticated the latest researches into the minute anatomy of
the dental structure. It is quite apparent that such knowledge must
prove of immense value in enabling any one to arrive at just conclusions
relative to the diseases of the teeth; and it is chiefly to be
attributed to the want of such knowledge that most writers on Dental
Surgery have erred so much relative to the causes and nature of these
diseases. The work may confidently be recommended, as containing the
_best and most approved methods of performing all the operations
connected with Dental Surgery_.
"We cannot close our remarks without adverting to the thirty very
beautiful lithographs which illustrate the text. They render it quite
impossible to misunderstand the author, and afford a very favorable
example of the advanced state of the Art on the American
Continent."--_Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal_, 1844.
IV.
MOREAU'S Great Work on Midwifery
A PRACTICAL TREATISE EXHIBITING THE PRESENT ADVANCED STATE OF THE
SCIENCE.
BY F. G. MOREAU.
Translated from the French BY T. FOREST BETTON, M. D., AND EDITED BY
PAUL BECK GODDARD, M. D.
The whole illustrated by _Eighty Splendid Quarto Plates_, WHICH ARE
EITHER The Size of Life, OR EXACTLY HALF THE SIZE.
Upon which the first artists have been employed, and which are fully
equal, if not superior, to the original, and the publishers can safely
pronounce it THE MOST SPLENDID WORK ON MIDWIFERY EVER PUBLISHED.
_Now complete in one large 4to. volume of the size of "Quain's Anatomy,"
"Pancoast's Surgery," and "Goddard on the Teeth."_
Price TEN DOLLARS, full bound in cloth
"The work of Professor Moreau is a treasure of Obstetrical Science and
Practice, and the American edition of it an elegant specimen of the
arts."--_Medical Examiner, August, 1844._
"A splendid quarto, containing eighty lithographic plates, true to the
life has been some weeks before us--but we are groping our way through a
mass of new works, with a full expectation of soon doing justice to the
merits of this elaborate and truly beautiful work."--_Boston Med. and
Surg. Journal._
"Moreau's treatise is another valuable work upon the science of
Midwifery, with eighty of the most splendid lithographic plates we have
ever seen. THESE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE ENGRAVED WITH SO MUCH BEAUTY AND
ACCURACY, AND UPON SO LARGE A SCALE, that they cannot fail to present to
the eye the precise relation of the foetus and of the parts engaged in
labor, under every condition and circumstance, from the commencement of
the state of natural parturition, to the most difficult and complicated
labor. The profession are greatly indebted to French industry in
pathological and special anatomy for the continued advance in the
science of Obstetrics; and the work before us may be regarded as the
completion of all that has accumulated in this department of medical
science, greatly enhanced in value by many valuable original
suggestions, to the proper arrangement of which the author has devoted a
great amount of labor. The translation is faithfully and elegantly done,
and the work will be a valuable addition to the medical literature of
our country."--_New York Journal of Medicine._
V.
A THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF THE SKIN, BY P.
RAYER, M. D. Physician to La Charité Hospital.
From the Second Edition, entirely remodeled. With Notes and other
Additions,
BY JOHN BELL, M. D.
Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Member of the
American Philosophical Society, and of the Gengofili Society of
Florence, and Editor of Bell and Stokes' Practice of Medicine, &c. &c.
_In One Royal 4to. Volume._
With Forty Beautifully Colored Plates, COMPRISING FOUR HUNDRED SEPARATE
ILLUSTRATIONS, Carefully Colored from Nature, and 450 pages of
Letterpress.
Handsomely bound in Cloth Gilt.
Price $15 00
_Opinions of the Press._
"We take leave of our author with the declaration that his work is a
monument of the most extraordinary industry. We have no hesitation in
adding that it is the best book we possess in any language on the
subject; and that should any of our readers desire to sail over the
unbounded sea of letterpress formed of the history and pathology of the
diseases of the cutaneous surface, M. Rayer should be his pilot."
OF THE PLATES.--"Considered in this respect, but more especially in
reference to the number of illustrations of the general species and
varieties of such order which it contains, this Atlas far surpasses any
that has yet appeared. _ON THE WHOLE RAYER'S ATLAS MAY CONSCIENTIOUSLY
BE SAID TO CONTAIN THE MOST COMPLETE SERIES OF ILLUSTRATIONS OF
CUTANEOUS DISEASES HITHERTO PUBLISHED, AND IS, BESIDES,_ not only
cheaper than any other, but well worth the sum for which it is offered
to the profession"--_British and Foreign Medical Review._
RICORD
ON EXTREME CASES OF VENEREAL DISEASES
_Cured at the Venereal Hospital at Paris_.
Under the direction of DR. PH. RICORD, with 276 elegantly coloured
engravings, in one volume quarto, uniform with "Quain's Anatomical
Plates," "Pancoast's Operative Surgery," &c. _Price $15, cloth, gilt._
"This truly great work of M. Ricord, who is an American and a native, we
believe, of Baltimore, though now the eminent hospital surgeon of Paris,
has long been a desideratum in the English language. The immense expense
of its publication, and especially the cost of the richly coloured
engravings, which are an indispensable accompaniment of the text, has
hitherto deterred publishers at home and abroad from its issue. The
profession are largely indebted to Dr. Betton, the translator, and Dr.
Goddard, who has prepared the work for the press, as also the
enterprising publisher, who has brought out this magnificent book, in
royal quarto, with its multiplied illustrations, in a style of
excellence as respects typography, engraving, and colouring, which will
do honour to American art. Of the value of this work it is unnecessary
to say more than that it is and must continue to be a standard authority
on a most important subject involving the interests of both science and
humanity. The publisher deserves the patronage of the whole profession,
for placing within the reach of all this noble contribution to our
libraries."--_N. Y. Medical Gazette._
THE AMERICAN COTTON SPINNER, AND MANAGERS' AND CARDERS' GUIDE: A
PRACTICAL TREATISE ON COTTON SPINNING.
Compiled from the Papers of the late Robert H. Baird.
In One Volume, Cloth Gilt, Price $1.
"This is a practical age, and it demands practical books. Of this class
is the manual before us, addressing itself to a rapidly growing interest
among us, and one, upon the prosperity of which depends, in a great
measure, the destiny of the South. We have too long committed the fatal
error of allowing Northern manufactories to convert our staple into the
fabrics we require for use, losing by the process all the expenses of a
double transportation, the profits of manufacturing, and sundry
incidental costs of interest and exchange. With the increasing attention
to manufactures in the South, arises the need of information upon all
their appliances and workings, and much that is valuable of this nature
is found in the book before us. Mr. Baird was an expert and successful
cotton-spinner. His experience and observations are here afforded to his
fellow-operatives, combined with the modern improvements in mechanics
and methods. No intelligent man at the present day builds without
'counting the cost,' or enters upon a field of labour without a
comprehensive knowledge of its capabilities and requirements. To those
proposing to erect small factories, or now conducting them, the treatise
before us could not fail to be of service, if well studied, and to such
we commend it."--_Southern Literary Gazette._
"Had we space we might go on to state a number of other equally
interesting and important facts. The work from which much of the
foregoing is taken, is published by Mr. A. Hart, and was compiled
chiefly from the papers of the late Robert H. Baird, well known as an
expert cotton-spinner. It is gratifying to see that so respectable a
house as that of Mr. Hart has undertaken the publication of books of
this kind, for we believe that our operatives should possess a
theoretical as well as practical knowledge of their several trades. This
work gives the dimensions and speed of machinery, draught and twist
calculations, with notices of the most recent improvements. It must
prove an invaluable hand-book to the manufacturer."--_Germantown
Telegraph._
"As the treatise now stands, it is a most complete and practical guide
in the spinning of cotton. It gives the dimensions and speed of
machinery, draught and twist calculations; together with rules and
examples for making changes in the size and number of roving yarn. The
work will be found of value, equally by operatives and mill-owners. It
is issued in a very neat style."--_Arthur's Home Gazette._
"'The American Cotton Spinner and Managers' and Carders' Guide,' a
practical treatise on cotton-spinning, giving the dimensions and speed
of machinery, draught and twist calculations, &c., with notices of
recent improvements, together with rules and examples for making changes
in the size of roving and yarn. This work is compiled from papers of the
late Robert H. Baird, well known as an expert cotton-spinner, and will
prove of great service to cotton-growers, mill-owners, and
cotton-spinners. This book will undoubtedly meet with an extensive sale
in the South, where attention is beginning to be turned in earnest to
manufacturing as well as growing cotton."--_Drawing-room Journal._
"This is one of the most interesting and valuable of the many excellent
little treatises on mechanical and manufacturing pursuits which have
been published by Mr. Hart. The construction and working of a
cotton-factory are thoroughly explained. Buildings, main gearing,
water-wheels, picking and spreading machines, cards and carding,
drawing-frames, speeders, throstles and mule spinning, are elaborately
discussed, and to those engaged in the production of cotton goods, the
volume must be exceedingly useful. To political economists and others,
who feel an interest in the great progress of our country, the
historical and statistical portions of the book will also be of value.
"'In 1770, there were exported to Liverpool from New York three bags of
cotton wool; from Virginia and Maryland, four bags; and from North
Carolina, three barrels. Last year England paid $71,984,616 to the
United States for raw cotton, which sum is exclusive of that paid to
other cotton-growing nations. In 1790 the first cotton-mill was erected
in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. In 1850 the number of spindles in operation
was computed at 2,500,000.' These facts are among the most signal
evidences of the unexampled progress and prosperity of the country, and
cannot be considered without emotions of pride and gratification."--_N.
Y. Commercial Advertiser._
"It is compiled from the papers of the late Robert H. Baird, well known
as an expert cotton-spinner, and forms a practical treatise relative to
spinning in all its departments and relations, the dimensions and speed
of machinery, draught and twist calculations, &c. &c., which cannot but
commend itself to the favourable attention of all connected with this
important manufacturing interest."--_North American._
MANUFACTURE OF STEEL, _Containing the Practice and Principles of Working
and Making Steel_.
BY FREDERICK OVERMAN,
MINING ENGINEER.
Author of "Manufacture of Iron," &c.
COMPLETE IN ONE VOLUME.
_With Engravings, cloth gilt. Price 75 cents._
"The author of this book is a practical mining engineer, and what he has
to say on the subject of which he treats, is therefore entitled to
consideration."--_Com. Advertiser._
"A valuable and almost indispensable hand-book for all workers in steel
and iron, such as blacksmiths, cutlers, die sinkers, and manufacturers
of various kinds of hardware. The man of science, as well as the
artisan, will find much valuable information in Mr. Overman's
Book."--_Arthur's Home Gazette._
"Carefully prepared, and therefore well adapted for the purpose. It is
illustrated by figures explanatory of apparatus and machinery."--_North
American._
"A. Hart, Philadelphia, has published 'The Manufacture of Steel,' by
Frederick Overman. This work is not only of interest to blacksmiths and
workers in steel and iron, but to men of science and art. It is a most
thorough book, commencing with forging, and treating the subject
throughout in an able manner."--_Boston Evening Gazette._
THE MOULDER'S AND FOUNDER'S POCKET GUIDE.
By Frederick Overman,
MINING ENGINEER.
WITH FORTY-TWO WOOD ENGRAVINGS.
_12mo, 252 pages, cloth gilt. Price 88 cents._
"The moulding of iron for useful purposes is one of the most extensive
pursuits of society. Nevertheless, there are comparatively few works
which present a clear, intelligible, and simple statement of the
branches of this art, so as to be readily understood by all. The present
work seems to supply this deficiency."--_Scientific American._
"This volume is prepared on the same plan as that on Cotton Spinning,
and has a number of wood-engravings. It must prove invaluable to the
iron master. It is certainly a book that has long been needed, and we
know that it will be extensively circulated."--_Germantown Telegraph._
"The 'Moulders and Founder's Pocket Guide,' published by A. Hart, is a
treatise on moulding and founding in green sand, dry sand, loam, and
cement, the moulding of machine-frames, mill-gear, hollow-ware,
ornaments, trinkets, bells, and statues, with receipts for alloys,
varnishes, colours, &c., by Frederick Overman, mining engineer. The work
is illustrated with forty-two wood-cuts, and it gives plain and
practical descriptions of these most useful arts."--_Public Ledger._
