Notwithstanding the short time in which this work has been before the profes- 

 sion, it has received the unanimous approbation of all who have examined it. From 

 among a very large number of commendatory notices with which they have been 

 favored, the publishers select the following : 



From Prof. Kimball, Pittsfteld, Mass. 



I have examined these numbers with the greatest satisfaction, and feel bound to say that they are alto- 

 gether, the most perfect and satisfactory plates of the kind that I have ever seen. 



From Prof. Brainard, Chicago, III. 



The work is extremely well adapted to Ihe use both of students and practitioner?, being sufficiently exten- 

 sive for practical purposes, without being so expensive as to place it beyond their reach. Such a work was 

 a desideratum in this country, and I shall not fail to recommend ii to those within the sphere of rny acquaint- 

 ance. 



From Prof. P. F. Eve, Augusta, Ga. 



I consider this work a great acquisition to my library, and shall take pleasure in recommending it on all 

 suilable occasions. 



From Prof. Peaslee, Brunswick, Me. 



The second part more than fulfils the promise held out by the first, so far as the beauty of the illustrations 

 is concerned ; and, perfecting my opinion of the value of the work, so far as it has advanced, I need add 

 nothing to what I have previously expressed to you. 



From Prof. Gunn, Ann Arbor, Mich. 



The plates in your edition of Macli.<e answer, in an eminent degree, the purpose for which they are 

 intended. I shall take pleasure in exhibiting it and recommending it to my class. 



From Prof. Rivers, Providence, R. I. 

 The plates illustrative of Hernia are the most satisfactory I have ever met with. 



From Professor S. D. Gross, Louisville, Ky. 



The work, as far as it has progressed, is most admirable, and cannot fail, when completed, to form a most 

 valuable contribution to the literature of our profession. It will afford me great pleasure to recommend it to 

 the pupils of the University of Louisville. 



From Professor R. L. Howard, Columbus, Ohio. 



In all respects, the first number is the beginning of a most excellent work, filling completely what might 

 be considered hitherto a vacuum in surgical literature. For myself, in behalf of the medical profession, I 

 wish to express to you my thanks for this truly elegant and meritorious work. I am confident that it will 

 meet with a ready and extensive sale. I have spoken of it in the highest terms to my class and my profes- 

 sional brethren. 



From Prof. C. B. Gibson, Richmond, Va. 



I consider Maclise very far superior, as to the drawings, to any work on Surgical Anatomy with which I 

 am familiar, and I am particularly struck with the exceedingly low price at which it is sold. I cannot doubt 

 that it will be extensively purchased by the profession. 



From Prof. Granville S. Pattison, New York. 



The profession, in my opinion, owe you many thanks for the publication of this beautiful work a work 

 which, in the correctness of its exhibitions of Surgical Anatomy, is not surpassed by any work with which 

 I am acquainted; and the admirable manner in which the lithographic plates have been executed and 

 colored is alike honorable to your house and to the arts in the United States. 



From Prof. J. F. May, Washington, D. C. 



Having examined the work, I am pleased to add my testimony to its correctness, and to its value as a 

 work of reference by the surgeon. 



From Prof. Alden Marsh, Albany, N. Y. 



From what I have seen of it, I think the design and execution of the work admirable, and, at the proper 

 time in my course of lectures, I shall exhibit it to the class, and give it a recommendation worthy of its great 

 merit. 



From H. H. Smith, M. D., Philadelphia. 



Permit me to express my gratification at the execution of Maclise's Surgical Anatomy. The plates are, in 

 ray opinion, the best lithographs that I have seen of a medical character, and the coloring of this number 

 cannot, I think, be improved. Estimating highly the contents of this work, I shall continue to recommend it 

 to my class as I have heretofore done. 



From Prof. D. Gilbert, Philadelphia. 



Allow me to say, gentlemen, that the thanks of the profession at large, in this country, are due to you for 

 the republication of this admirable work of Maclise. The precise relationship of the organs in the regions 

 displayed is so perfect, that even those who have daily access to the dissecting-room may, by consulting 

 this work, enliven and confirm their anatomical knowledge prior to an operation. But it is to the thousands 

 of practitioners of our country who cannot enjoy these advantages that the perusal of those plates, with 

 their concise and accurate descriptions, will prove of infinite value. These have supplied a desideratum, 

 which will enable them to refresh their knowledge of the important structures involved in their surgical 

 oases, thus establishing their self-confidence, and enabling them to undertake operative procedures with 

 every assurance of success. And as all the practical departments in medicine rest upon the same basis, and 

 are enriched from the same sources, I need hardly add that this work should be found in the library of every 

 practitioner in the Jand.
