While containing comparatively little original matter, this monograph of 200 pages is an excellent summary of the knowledge of coronary diseases. In the first section, the anatomy of the coronary vessels is carefully worked out and contains numerous good illustrations in color as well as roentgenograms of injected specimens of human hearts.
