Abstract
THIS handbook is the work of sixteen contributors, each dealing with some application of photography in medical and semi-medical work. The range covered is very considerable and dealt with in great detail. The illustrations are very well reproduced, as might be expected in such a book, but do not occupy an undue proportion of the space. It is sometimes urged against photographic recording that the final result often exaggerates unwanted detail and suppresses the points required. It is true that the camera and plate are not capable of selecting intelligently what the observer wants, but a study of this volume shows that a great deal can be done to attain this end.
