THE COMING YEAR.

THE third year of the Select Medical Library will be begun with the publication of Dr. Williams's Lectures on the PHYSIOLOGY AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST. Those on the Diseases of the Lungs, including Consumption, are already printed; and those on the Heart are in press, and will, ere long, be concluded.

The following original works will be published, for the first time, in the Library; for which, expressly, most of them are in course of publication, viz: On the YELLOW FEVER, as it has appeared at different times in PHILADELPHIA comprising its Pathology and Treatment, and the Statistics of the Disease. By a Physician of Philadelphia.

Also, LECTURES on Blood LettING. By Henry Clutterbuck, M.D. Nine of these Lectures, published in the London Medical Gazette, have been received.

We regret that we cannot comply with the request so courteously made by a Georgetown correspondent, without subjecting ourselves to unnecessary subsequent inconveniences, by our Journal being made the arena for controversy. In quoting a passage from a work accusatory of another to which it is a reply, and simply as illustrative either of its spirit or scope, we do not make ourselves parties to the dispute, nor give our assent to the correctness of the affirmation, or denial, as the case may be. Were we to insert even the short, and, what seems to us to be, pertinent comments by our correspondent, on one particular charge made by a work, itself critical, on another, we should throw ourselves open to claims for the insertion of a reply, or a rejoinder, in which our readers might not take any interest, nor from which derive any instruction.

Whilst we fully appreciate the goodness of the motives by which our correspondent was actuated in sending us his brief strictures, we hope that he will do us equal justice in the construction which he puts on ours in declining to insert them.
