Abstract
THE authors of this little book are well known to the members of the dental profession, but as the work is obviously intended for the lay public it may be as well to state at once that both Mr. Pedley and Mr. Frank Harrison occupy a high position in dental surgery; indeed, the fact that Mr. Harrison was chosen as president of the Odontological Section of the British Medical Association and Mr. Pedley as one of the vice-presidents in 1908 sufficiently demonstrates their title to advise and instruct the general public upon things dental. The book opens with a discussion of dental anatomy and physiology, illustrated with diagrams and photomicrographs of remarkable excellence. The authors have not hesitated to employ quite high powers, even such a magnification as × 2250; into the actual photomicrograph they have introduced explanatory labels with lines pointing to the special objects to which it is desired to direct attention.
