Abstract
THIS work is a collection of abstracts of the chief papers bearing on the medical sciences published by various Italian authors during the year 1892. Prof. Giacosa has been aided in his work by several experts, whose names are a sufficient guarantee for the accuracy of the abstracts, such as Profs. Marcassi of Palermo, Maggiora of Modena, and Sperino of Torino. The medical reading public is familiar with the excellent Jahrberichte and Centralblätter published in Germany, which deals chiefly, though not exclusively, with scientific papers by German authors. There has been a great want of similar publications of Italian work, and Prof. Giacosa's “Bibliografia” is a welcome addition to medical literature. In it will be found abstracts of all the chief Italian papers published in 1892 on parasites and helminthology (zoology), physiology, biological chemistry, pharmacology, histology, human and pathological anatomy, bacteriology and hygiene. The abstracts are done by experts in the particular subject, are short but clear and intelligible, and have the advantage of not being critical.
