Diseases of Children, ed. 2, by Hugh Jolly, M.A., M.D., F.R.C.P., D.C.H. Philadelphia: F. A. Davis Company, 1968, 752 pp., $11.50

Thomas E. Cone Jr. M.D.1

Both of these books, one English the other German, will satisfy the needs of the reader who wants something more than a synopsis yet less than a detailed textbook of pediatrics. Each accomplishes this goal, but in a different way.

Dr. Jolly wrote his book entirely by himself, drawing on his long and varied clinical expenience in both England and West Africa. This in itself is a tremendous accomplishment because there are few pediatricians left in any country whose professional experience is broad enough for them to be able to write single-handedly a text of pediatrics in the classical tradition.
