Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue Raisonné of the Medical Library of the Pennsylvania Hospital The present Catalogue is an entirely new work, and has been compiled independently of its predecessors. For the old plan of disposing the works in the alphabetical order of the names of their authors, a classified arrangement according to subjects has been substituted. The advantages of a catalogue raisonné are so evi dent, that it is hardly necessary to particularize them. Not only the student who is anxious to familiarize himself with the depth and breadth of medical literature, but also the medical writer in his laborious research for authorities which he might consult on the subject of his investigation, will derive material aid from a work of this kind. For the classification used in the present Catalogue, the com piler is essentially indebted to the Catalogue Raisonne' of the Library of the Medical Society of Edinburgh, the arrangement of which has been followed out as far as some difference in the com pass and character of the two libraries would permit.
