This book will, it is hoped, fill the gap between cur rent, smaller texts on dermatology and the standard, large reference books. It should be helpful to those embarking on a career in dermatology and to general practitioners and primary physicians with a special interest in this field. In this book the emphasis is on clinical aspects of skin diseases, and it is assumed that the reader has some knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the skin. The differential diagnosis of each disorder is extensively discussed and sex predilection and age of onset are illustrated diagrammatically. As in other branches of medicine, treatments are now frequently changing and these are fully covered. Aetiological factors in skin disorders are now becoming clearer and separate sections on this subject are discussed for each disease. Prognosis and natural history are not always adequately covered in texts on derma tology, so these topics are set out under separate headings. A small number of the illustrations have been loaned from colleagues and institutions, and we gratefully acknowledge this assistance from the following: The Wellcome Museum of Medical Science; Photographic Department, Institute of Dermatology, St John's Hospital; Dr Roger Clayton; Dr W. H. Jopling; and Dr P. Rodin. We are also grateful to the staff of MTP for their assistance in preparing this book.

Excerpt from Illustrated Skin Diseases: An Atlas and Text-Book With Special Reference to Modern Diagnosis and the Approved Methods of Treatment The pictures, both plate and text, have been selected with the view of exhibit ing, as far as possible, the ordinary phases of skin disease as met with in practice. Most of them are from photographs of his own patients made by the author. Those that are not are credited to the physicians from whom they came. A few are taken from foreign sources. The anatomical illustrations are from photomicrographs. In this second edition the section on Cosmetics of the Skin and Hair has been entirely rewritten and very greatly enlarged for the author believes that it is the neglect of this field which has permitted it to fall to so large an extent into im proper and non-medical hands. The number of prescriptions has been considerably increased; and the various changes which the improvement of our knowledge of the nature, pathology, and treatment of certain dermatoses render necessary have been made.
