  JOSEPH CUSHING,
  No. 6, NORTH HOWARD-STREET,
  Has Just Published
  Memoirs of Military Surgery,
  AND
  Campaigns of the French Armies
  </center<
  On the Rhine, in Corisca, Catalonia, Egypt, and Syria, at Boulogne, Ulm and Austerlitz; in Saxony, Prussia, Poland, Spain and Austria, in 2 vols. octavo, with plates — Translated from the French of D.J. Larrey, M.D. First Surgeon of the Imperial Guards, Inspector General of the Medical Staff of the French Armies, & c. By Richard W. Hall, M.D. Professor of Midwifery in the University of Maryland; with notes by the translator.

  The following extract from the London Medical Review for 1809, will shew in what estimation the first edition of this work was held —

  “It is the work of one of the first Military Surgeons of the present day, raised to high rank in his profession at the beginning of a revolution, when merit never fails to be discovered and rewarded. To know that he has been employed in the principal campaigns of the French Armies is sufficient to give an idea of the extent of his experience. We strongly recommend this work to the perusal of all Surgeons, but particularly to army Surgeons. It is to be regretted however that copies of it cannot be readily procured in this country (England) and that no translation of it has yet been published.”

  The present translation is from the authors 2d edition which is enlarged by the addition of several Campaigns, and much important Medical & Surgical matter.

  Notes: “Physicians attending yellow fever in Baltimore, 1819-20, were: Allender (Jos.); Alexander (Ashton); Baker (Sam.); Brevitt (Jos.); Clark (M.D.); Clendinen (Wm. Haslett and Alexander); Diffenderfer (Mich.); Dunan (L.M.); Dorsey (Robt. E.); Dorsey (Henry); Ealer (Peter); Elbert; Gillingham (Ezra); Giraud (J.J.); Hall (R.W.); Henderson (Josiah); Jennings (Sam.

L.); Caldwell (J.B.); Readell.

  Of the noble exertions of these men the Mayor says: ‘In adverting to this calamity I should commit an act of injustice were I to omit to notice the humane and magnanimous exertions of those medical gentlemen residing in or near the vicinity of the infected district, and those who extended their assistance when the disease had attained its greatest extent and malignity; some time previous to which period, the more wealthy of our citizens and their families from within the district had removed, and very few remained except those who, by their deprivation of their means of support or from extreme indigence were able to afford but little prospect to the physician of pecuniary renumeration, equal to that which he might actually be called upon to expend from his own means on this account. They still perservered and attended indiscriminately all, the rich and poor, suffering no consideration to deter them from the indulgence of their philanthropic feelings. As the cases multiplied the calls upon them increased, and their natural rest was destroyed and their anxieties strained to such a pitch that their own lives appeared likely to become a sacrifice to their disinterested zeal.’ (Mayor Johnson’s Rep. In Doc. of this Ep., pp. 179-80).”
