This latest production of Mr. Scudder's lively and versatile pen is of a humorous nature, and deals with characters who make up an oddly assorted neighborhood in Boston, where the scene is mainly laid. THE TWO CHANCELLORS, PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF AND PRINCE BISMARCK. Translated from the French of JULIAN KLACZKO. This is a book which is exciting much attention and discussion in foreign political circles. The author of the work, JULIAN KLACZKO, played a prominent part in the councils of Austria for a time after Sadowa, but has spent most of his life in Paris, and is a keen and able writer. The book is not a biography of either of its two heroes, although it abounds in interesting personal anecdotes and biographical details, but is an effort to show that the leading features of European political history for the last fifteen years are due to a conspiracy between the Russian and Prussian chancellors. It is sure to be widely read and talked about. HURD AND HOUGHTON, 13 ASTOR PLACE, NEW YORK. The Riverside Press, Cambridge. MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL. Established 1828.-Published Weekly. Ar the beginning of a new year the Publishers of the BOSTON MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL wish to call the attention of physicians to certain special features of this Journal, which make it exceptionally valuable as a medical periodical, and which commend it to the favor of professional gentlemen in all sections of the country. 1. It is a weekly publication, thus possessing obvious advantages for the prompt presentation of medical intelligence, a great part of whose value lies in its freshness. 2. Its original papers are supplied by gentlemen of acknowledged ability and far-reaching reputation. 3. It presents from week to week a continued series of reports by experts in special departments of medical science, who give condensed and comprehensive summaries of the most recent advances in their respective branches, and who constitute undoubtedly the strongest corps of the kind in the country. This plan enables the reader to keep himself thoroughly and reliably informed concerning the latest and best medical thought of the world. 4. Its notices of recent medical literature are full, critical, and impartial. 5. Its editorial contributions are seasonable and independent comments upon all matters which affect the interests and honor of the profession. 6. Its reports of society proceedings are of peculiar excellence, and the hospital clinics present a great amount of information possessing a peculiarly practical value. 7. Arrangements have been made with several additional correspondents so that it is hoped to give medical news from many parts of Europe and America. 8. It gives a weekly bulletin of the diseases prevalent in all parts of Massachusetts for the time being, and a weekly table showing the comparative mortality rates, for the week, of thirteen cities in the United States. It is believed that in the quantity and the quality of the reading matter furnished in its pages from week to week, the JOURNAL stands with scarcely a rival among the medical publications of the country; and therefore its claims for substantial recognition by the profession are here confidently urged. In place of vague promises for the future, the Publishers point to the record of the JOURNAL during the past year, and are able to assure the public that the maintainance of the present high standard is certain and further advance most probable. Some new features may be expected. Specimen numbers of the JOURNAL will be furnished on application to the Publishers. The typographical appearance of the JOURNAL speaks for itself, but the Publishers would call attention to the great number and quality of the illustrations that have appeared during the year. There have been eleven full-page illustrations and many wood-cuts in the text. The following distinguished gentlemen have during the past year been among our contributors. DR. E. H. CLARKE, DR.

The plan of study was radically changed in 1871. Instruction is given by lectures, recitations, clinical teaching, and practical exercises, distributed throughout the academic year. This year begins Sept. 23, 1876, and ends on the last Wednesday in June, 1877. It is divided into two equal terms, either of which is more than equivalent to the former Winter Session," as regards the amount and character of the instruction. The course of instruction has been greatly enlarged, so as to extend over three years, and has been so arranged as to carry the student progressively and systematically from one subject to another in a just and natural order. In the subjects of anatomy, histology, chemistry, and pathological anatomy, laboratory work is largely substituted for, or added to, the usual methods of instruction. Instead of the customary oral examination for the degree of Doctor of Medicine, held at the end of the three years' period of study, a series of written examinations on all the main subjects of medical instruction has been distributed through the whole three years; and every candidate for the degree must pass a satisfac tory examination in every one of the principal departments of medical instruction during his period of study. DIVISION OF STUDIES. For the First Year. - Anatomy, Physiology, and General Chemistry. For the Second Year.- Medical Chemistry, Materia Medica, Pathological Anatomy, Clinical Medicine, Surgery, and Clinical Surgery. For the Third Year. Therapeutics, Obstetrics, Theory and Practice of Medicine, Clinical Medicine, Surgery, and Clinical Surgery. Students are divided into three classes, according to their time of study and proficiency. Students who began their professional studies elsewhere may be admitted to advanced standing; but all persons who apply for admission to the second or third year's class must pass an examination in the branches already pursued by the class to which they seek admission. Examinations are held in the following order: At the end of the first year-Anatomy, Physiology, and General Chemistry. End of second year - -Medical Chemistry, Materia Medica, and Pathological Anatomy. End of third year-Therapeutics, Obstetrics, Theory and Practice of Medicine, Clinical Medicine, Surgery, and Clinical Surgery. Examinations are also held before the opening of the School, beginning September 25th. Students who do not intend to offer themselves for a degree will also be received at any part of the course for one term or more. Any student may obtain, without an examination, a certificate of his period of con nection with the school. REQUIREMENTS FOR A DEGREE. Every candidate must be twenty-one years of age; must have studied medicine three full years, have spent at least one continuous year at this School, have passed the required examinations, and have presented a thesis. COURSE FOR GRADUATES. For the purpose of affording to those already Graduates of Medicine additional facilities for pursuing clinical, laboratory, and other studies, in such subjects as may specially interest them, the Faculty has established a course which comprises the following branches: Histology; Physiology; Medical Chemistry; Pathological Anatomy; Surgery; Auscultation, Percussion, and Laryngoscopy; Oph thalmology; Dermatology; Syphilis; Pyschological Medicine; Otology; Electro-therapeutics; Gynecology and Obstetrics. Single branches may be pursued, and on payment of the full fee also the privilege of attending any of the other exercises of the Medical School, the use of the laboratories and library, and all other rights accorded by the University will be granted. Graduates of other Medical Schools who may de sire to obtain the degree of M. D. at this University, will be admitted to examination for this degree after a year's study in the Graduates' Course. FEES. For Matriculation, $5; for the Year, $200; for one term alone, $120; for Graduation, $30. For Graduates, Course, the fee for one year is $200; for one Term, $120; and for single courses such fees as are specified in the Cata logue. Payment in advance.
