calculated to be of service to those who are situated beyond 

 the reach of personal observation. 



This volume contains a description of the preparations, 

 illustrating the structure of animal bodies in their normal 

 state : the second part of the catalogue, which is intended to 

 follow, will refer to the same structures when altered by 

 disease. The preparations are arranged in eight classes of 

 organs of different functions ; these again being divided into 

 orders. A particular mode of notation being adopted both as 

 to labels and catalogue, the student or visiter can with ease 

 find and refer to both the preparations and their descriptions, 

 in any class or order of subjects which he may desire to 

 consult. 



We remember to have seen a catalogue of the contents of 

 the museum at Guy's Hospital, with many valuable physio- 

 logical remarks by Dr. Hodgkin ; and the College of Sur- 

 geons in London have lately published two parts of a de- 

 scriptive and illustrated catalogue of the physiological series of 

 comparative anatomy, by which justice will be done to the 

 merits and memory of John Hunter, although in 1835. — S.

We trust that the following paragraph (it is the last in the 

 author's book) will bespeak more for the author than any 

 assumed opinion of ours would : — " Those who tolerate the 

 quack do not know him. Those who know him, but think 

 him too low for exposure, are little aware of his influence; or 

 they think too much of themselves, and too little of others. 

 They surely cannot have beheld with indifference multitudes 

 of sensitive beings silently, yet mournfully, writhing under his 

 cold-blooded ferocity, and ultimately sacrificed to his igno- 

 rance. They have not seen the poor man and his family 

 deprived of their little all, of their only means of subsist- 

 ence, while, from the defective state of our laws, the shame- 

 less ruffian escapes with impunity." The notices on the 

 scope of the English veterinary schools, their several advan- 

 tages and defects, are written from a practical intimacy with 

 them.
