Walshe, iMl.D., D.Sc., F R.S. Tenth Edition. (Pp. xii + 381; figs. 60. 35s.) Edinburgh and London: E. & S. Livin.gstone, 1963. THiE appeartanice of the tenth editioni of this textbook twenty-threc years since it was first published reflects its great pol)Ulllarity. The author alludes in the prefatce that its reviewers would probably not be drawn from the ranks of those to vholom the 1)ook is particularly directed, namely, students aind general practitioniers. I am certain that the book would have their enthusiastic aild grateful approval. It is clear and precise andl easy to read. One never hals the feeling that the many advances iii neiurology over the past couple of decades have been haphazard1ly iniserted but rattlher the text keeps a first edition freshness while being uI) to (late. As in the nintlh edition the author's son, I)r. Jolhn WValshe, las wx-ritten a competent chapter oII liver-brain relationships. All practitioners %vill gaiIn from readiIng this book aind I would hiiglhly recomiimenid it for senior medical studenits. It is vell produced at a reasonable price. L. J. H.
