摘要：Dr. Coope, Liverpool physician, surgeon, and medical editor, is, of course, well-known on this side of the water for his professional publications. As a collector, here, of "wise saws and modern instances," he casts a wide net that encompasses a field far larger than that of medical literature even in its broadest reaches. On the whole, his catch appeals to the present reviewer as a quite tenable one-perhaps more so in its wise saws than in its modern instances. It is pleasant to believe that the little book will provide a great deal of quiet delight for the contemplative physician, medical student, and medical librarian, and that quotations from it will from time to time be found adorning their rhetorical efforts.
