From the Richmond Daily Dispatch July 30, 1864:
A Valuable work.
–We acknowledge the receipt from Messrs. Evans & Cogswell, publishers, of Columbia, S. C., of an exceedingly well executed copy of a work entitled “A Manual of Military Surgery, for the use of Surgeons in the Confederate States Army; with explanatory plates of all useful operations. By J. Julian Chisholm, M. D., Professor of Surgery in the Medical College of South Carolina, Surgeon in the C. S. Army, &c.” This is the third time Professor Chisholm’s work has been run through the press, and the present edition has undergone a careful revision and some important improvements. To the medical profession we should think it an invaluable companion, but as a proof of the extent to which it is appreciated, it is only necessary to refer to the rapidity with which the several editions have been exhausted.
