The plates for this work, and all the copies not sold, having been destroyed in the fire in October, 1871, it has been for some time out of print. In yielding to the demand for another edition considerable additions have been made, and the whole work has been carefully revised and corrected. A chapter on the Management of Infants has also been added.
