Praise For Dr. Honan’s Handbook on Medical Europe.

Dr. J. H. Honan, brother of Attorney E. P. Honan, recently had published a medical handbook entitled “Honan’s Handbook of Medical Europe.” It seems to have met instantaneous favor everywhere and has been made the subject of reviews in medical magazins throughout the world, often receiving editorial comment and praise. The Australian Medical Gazette closes a long review of the volume by saying “Altogether this is one of the most valuable reference books we have seen.” The New York Post-Graduate says among other nice things: “Thjs book admirably fulfils the purpose for which it was designed, etc. * * * It seems to the reviewer that the prospective European traveler could well dispense with-almost any other book except this one. It is the Baedeker of medical Europe and for the medical visitor abroad ‘it is an indispensable vadedmecud.” The Bulletin, Manilla Medical Society, closes its favorable review by “The author has chosen a subject of great interest to a large number of physicians who go abroad for postand he has executed his task in an unusually creditable manner. The book will prove of inestimable assistance to medical men studying or traveling in Europe and even for the man who remains at home, either in Europe or elsewhere, the book will repay careful perusal.” Delhi, India, Practical Medicine, says: “We feel much pleasure in reviewing this book by Dr. J. H. Honan, M. D., as it will prove of immense value to those Indian students who desire to complete their medical education in Europe. This is the first book we have seen of its kind, solving the questions that come to all postgraduate students. We strongly recommend the book to the students of this country going abroad for medical education. We congratulate the author for bringing* out such a useful publication.” Johns Hopkins’ Hospital Bulletin says: “This handbook is exactly what it is stated to be in the title (here follows review of the contents.) With this book as a guidfe medical travelers will find their way about much more easily in these center? and Dr. Honan will, we are sure, have the sincere, silent and expressed thanks of his conferes for this work.” The author has received more than thirty medical publications, all of which have given it praiseworthy mention. The first edition has been more than half purchased and the publisher is preparing for a second edition. Dr. Honan will be remembered by man}’ Rensselaer people who knew him as a young man and by many more who met him during two recent visits here.
