MACLISE'S SURGICAL ANATOMY (Continued.) 



From Professor J. M. Bush, Lexington, Ky. 



1 am delighted with both the plan and execution of the work, and shall take all occasions to recommend it 

 to my private pupils and public classes. 



The most accurately engraved and beautifully colored plates we have ever seen in an American book 

 one of the best and cheapest surgical works ever published. Buffalo Medical Journal. 



It is very rare that so elegantly printed, so well illustrated, and so useful a work, is offered at so moderate 

 a price. Charleston Medical Journal. 



A work which cannot but please the most fastidious lover of surgical science, and we hesitate not to say 

 that if the remaining three numbers of this work are in keeping with the present, ii cannot fail to give uni- 

 versal satisfaction. In it, by a succession of plates, are brought to view the relative anatomy of the parts 

 included in the important surgical divisions of the human body, with that fidelity and neatness of touch which 

 is scarcely excelled by nature herself. The part before us differs in many respects from anything of the kind 

 which we have ever seen before. While we believe that nothing but an extensive circulation can compen- 

 sate the publishers for the outlay in the production of this edition of the work furnished as it is at a very 

 moderate price, within the reach of all we desire to see it have that circulation which the zeal and peculiar 

 skill of the author (he being his own draughtsman), the utility of the work, and the neat style with which it 

 is executed, should demand for it in a liberal profession. N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



This is an admirable reprint of a deservedly popular London publication. Its English prototype, although 

 not yet completed, has already won its way, amongst our British brethren, to a remarkable success. Its 

 plates can boast a superiority that places them almost beyond the reach of competition. And we feel too 

 thankful to the Philadelphia publishers for their very handsome reproduction of the whole work, and at a 

 rate within everybody's reach, not to urge all our medical friends to give it. for their own sakes, the cordial 

 welcome it deserves. in a speedy and extensive circulation. The Medical Examiner. 



The plates are accompanied by references and explanations, and when the whole has been published it 

 will be a complete and beautiful system of Surgical Anatomy, haying an advantage which is important, and 

 not possessed by colored plates generally, viz., its cheapness, which places it within the reach of every one 

 who may feel disposed to possess the work. Every practitioner, we think, should have a work of this kind 

 within reach, as there are many operations requiring immediale performance in which a book of reference 

 will prove most valuable. Southern Medical and Surg. Journal. 



The work of Maclise on Surgical Anatomy is of the highest value. In some respects it is the best pub- 

 lication of its kind we have seen, and is worthy of a place in the library of any medical man, while the stu- 

 dent could scarcely make a better investment than this. The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



No such lithographic illustrations of surgical regions have hitherto, we think, been given. While the ope- 

 rator is shown every vessel and nerve where an operation is contemplated, the exact anatomist is refreshed 

 by those clear and distinct dissections which every one must appreciate who has a particle of enthusiasm. 

 The English medical press has quite exhausted the words of praise in recommending this admirable treatise. 

 Those who have any curiosity to gratify in reference to the perfectibility of the lithographic art in delinea- 

 ting the complex mechanism of the human body, are invited to examine our specimen copy. If anything 

 will induce surgeons and students to patronize a book of such rare value and every-day importance to them, 

 it will be a survey of the artistical skill exhibited in these fac-similes of nature. Boston Medical and Surg. 

 Journal. 



The fidelity and accuracy of the plates reflect the highest credit upon the anatomical knowledge of Mr. 

 Maclise. We strongly recommend the descriptive commentaries to the perusal of the student both of sur- 

 gery and medicine. These plates will form a valuable acquisition to practitioners settled in the country, 

 whether engaged in surgical, medical, or general practice. Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal. 



We are well assured that there are none of the cheaper, and but few of the more expensive works on 

 anatomy, which will form so complete a guide to the student or practitioner as these plates. To practitioners, 

 in particular, we recommend this work as far better, and not at all more expensive, than the heterogeneous 

 compilations most commonly in use, and which, whatever their value to the student preparing for examina- 

 tion, are as likely to mislead as to guide the physician in physical examination, or the surgeon in the per- 

 formance of an operation. Monthly Journal of Medical Sciences. 



The dissections from which these various illustrations are taken appear to have been made with remark- 

 able success ; and they are most beautifully represented. The surgical commentary is pointed and practical. 

 We know of no work on surgical anatomy which can compete with it. Lancet. 



This is by far the ablest work on Surgical Anatomy that has come under our observation. We know of 

 no other work that would justify a student, in any degree, for neglect of actual dissection. A careful study 

 of these plates, and of the commentaries on them, would almost make an anatomistof a diligent student. And 

 to one who has studied anatomy by dissection, this work is invaluable as a perpetual remembrancer, in mat- 

 ters of knowledge that may slip from the memory. The practitioner can scarcely consider himself equipped 

 for the duties of his profession without such a work as this, and this has no rival, in his library. In those 

 sudden emergencies that so often arise, and which require the instantaneous command of minute anatomical 

 knowledge, a work of this kind keeps the details of the dissecting-room perpetually fresh in the memory. 

 We appeal to our readers, whether any one can justifiably undertake the practice of medicine who is not 

 prepared to give all needful assistance, in all matters demanding immediate relief. 



We repeal that no medical library, however large, can be complete without Maclise's Surgical Anatomy. 

 The American edition is well entitled to the confidence of the profession, and should command, among them, 

 an extensive sale. The investment of the amount of the cost of this work will prove to be a very profitable 

 one, and if practitioners would qualify themselves thoroughly with such important knowledge as is contained 

 in works of this kind, there would be fewer of them sighing for employment. The medical profession should 

 spring towards such an opportunity as is presented in this republication, to encourage frequent repetitions of 

 American enterprise of this kind. The Western Journal cf Medicine and Surgery. 



It is a wonderful triumph, showing what ingenuity, skill, and enterprise can effect if supported by a suffi- 

 cient number of purchasers. No catchpenny sketches on flimsy material and with bad print, but substantial 

 lithographs on fine paper and with a bold and legible type. The drawings are of the first class, and the light 

 and shade so liberally provided for, that the most ample expression, with great clearness and sharpness of 

 outline, is secured. Dublin Medical Press. 



Our hearty good wishes attend this work, which promises to supply, when complete, a far better series of 

 delineations of surgical regions than has been yet given, and at a price as low as that of the most ordinary 

 series of illustrations. The British and Foreign Medico- Chirurgical Review. 



The plates continue to be of the same excellent character that we have before ascribed to them, and their 

 description all that might naturally be expected from so good an anatomist as Mr. Machsfe. The work ought 

 to be in the possession of every one, for it really forms a valuable addition to a surgical library. TheMedi 

 cal Times. 



It is, and it must be unique, for the practical knowledge of the surgeon, the patience and skill of the dissec- 

 tor, in combination with the genius of the artist, as here displayed, have never before been, and perhaps, 

 never will be again associated to a similar extent in the same individual. Lancet. 



The plates are accurate and truthful j and there is but one word in the English language descriptive ot 

 the letter- press faultless. 



For the quality, it is the cheapest work that we have seen, and will constitute a valuable contribution to 

 the surgeon's library. The N. W. Medical and Surgical Journal.
