Manual of Orthopedic Surgery. Being a Dissertation which obtained the Boylston Prize for 1844, on the following question In what cases and to what extent is the division of muscles, tendons, or other parts proper for the relief of deformity or lameness?” By Henry Jacob Bigelow, M. D. Boston. William D. Ticknor & Co.

This is, beyond doubt, a work of high value. Its treatises on Strabismus and Stammering, are the only complete examinations of these subjects that have ever appeared in America. A very handsome octavo.
