Abstract
THIS volume will be cordially welcomed by the late Sir George Paget's friends; and members of the medical profession, whether they knew him personally or not, will find in it much that cannot fail to interest them. The lectures deal with three subjects—the ætiology of typhoid fever, alcohol as a cause of disease, and mental causes of bodily disease. In dealing with each of these topics, the author presents the results of prolonged and most careful observation; and it is impossible not to admire the directness, lucidity, and vigour with which his facts and conclusions are set forth. The memoir, by the editor, is a short and attractive record of Sir George Paget's distinguished career, and its value is increased by the fact that it is accompanied by an excellent portrait.
