WORKS BY W, B, CARPENTER, M D, 



COMPARATIVE PHYSIOLOGY (JYow Heady.) 



PHINOIPLBS OP PHYSIOLOGY, 



GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE. 



THIRD EDITION, GREATLY ENLARGED. 

 In one very handsome octavo volume, of over 1100 pages, with 321 beautiful wood-cuts. 



This great work will supply a want long felt by the scientific public of this country, who have had no ac- 

 cessible treatise to r( iVr to, presenting, in,' an intelligible form, a complete and thorough outline of this im- 

 portant subject. The high reputation of the author, on both sides of the Atlantic, is u sufficient guarantee fur 

 the completeness and accuracy of any work to which his name is prefixed; but this volume cornts with the 

 additional recommendation that it is the one on which the author has bestowed the greatest care, and on 

 which he is desirous ;o rest his reputation. Two years have been devoted to the preparation of this edition, 

 which has been thoroughly remoulded and rewritten, so as, in fact, to constitute a new work. The amount 

 of alterations and addition* may be understood from the fact that of the ten hundred and eighty pages of the 

 text, but one hundred and tiny belong to the previous edition. Containing, as it does, the results of years 

 devoted to study ai.d observation, il may be regarded as a complete exposition of the most advanced slate of 

 knowledge in this rapidly-'progresgive branch of science, and as a storehouse of facts and principles in all 

 departments of Physiology, such as perhaps no man but its author could have accumulated and classified. 



In every point of mechanical execution, and profuseness and beauty of illustration, the Publishers risk no- 

 thing in saying that it will be found all that the most fastidious taste could desire. 



A truly magnificent work. In itself a perfect physiological s'udy. Ranking's Abstract, July 21, 1851. 



This work stands without its fellow. It is one few men in Europe could have undertaken ; it is one no 

 man. we believe, could have brought to so successful an issue as Dr. Carpente-. It required for its produc- 

 tion a physiologist fit once deeply read in the labours of others, capable of taking. a general, critical, and un- 

 prejudiced view of those labours, and of combining the varied, heterogeneous materials at his disposal, so as 

 to form an harmonious whole. We feel that this abstract can give the reader a very imperfect idea of the 

 fulness of this wotk. and no idea of its unity, of the admirable manner in which material has been brought, 

 from the most various sources, to conduce 10 its completeness, of the lucidity of the reasoning it contains, or 

 of <he clearness of language in which the whole is clothed. Not the profession only, but the scientific world 

 ul lar*, must feel deeply indebted to Dr. Carpenter for this great work. It must, indeed, add largely even 

 to his high reputation. Medical Times. 



CARPENTER'S ELEMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGY, New and Improved Edition (Now Ready,) 



ELEMENTS OF~PHYSIOLOGY; 



INCLUDING PHYSIOLOGICAL ANATOMY. 



WITH NEARLY TWO HUNDRED ILLUSTRATIONS. 

 Second American, from the Second London Edition* 



In one handsome octavo volume, of about six hundred pages. 



This work has been subjected to a thorough revision by the author, who, without materially in- 

 creasing its size, has brought it up completely with the most recent researches and investigations. 

 It may, therefore, be regarded as the latest exponent of the views of the author, with respect to 

 all the modern doctrines of physiology. Numerous wood-cuts have been added, the work has been 

 carefully read during its passage through the press, and in every point of mechanical execution it 

 will be found equal, if not superior, to the former edition. 



To say that it is the h/st manual of Physiology now before the public, would not do sufficient justice to the 

 author Buffalo Med. Journal. 



In his former works it would seem that he had exhausted the subject of Physiology. In the present, he 

 "jves the essence, as it were, of the whole. N. Y. Journal of Medidne. 



The best and most complete expose" of modern physiology, in one volume, extant in the English language. 

 St. Louis Med. Journal. 



Those who have occasion for an elementary treatise on physiology, cannot do better than to possess them- 

 selves of the manual of Dr. Carpenter. Medical Examiner. 



CARPENTER'S HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY-(New Edition, Preparing.) 



PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY, 



WITH THEIR CHIEF APPLICATIONS TO 



PATHOLOGY, HYGIENE, AND FORENSIC MEDICINE. 



A NEW EDITION, WITH EXTENSIVE ADDITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS BY THE AUTHOR. 



With Two Lithographic Plates, and over ^00 Wood-cuts, 



In one large and handsomely printed octavo volume of over seven hundred and fifty pages. 



In preparing a new edition of this very popular text-book, it has been thoroughly* revised by the author, 

 who, without materially increasingly bulk, has embodied in it all the recent investigations and discove- 

 ries in physiological science, and has rendered it in every respect on a level with the improvements o! the day. 

 Although the number of ihe wood-engravings has been but little increased, a considerable change will be 

 found. In passing the volume through the press in this country, the services of a professional gentleman 

 have been secured, in order to insuie the accuracy so necessary to a scientific work. 



In recommending this work to their classes. Professors of Physiology can rely on their being always able 

 to procure editions brought thoroughly up with the advance of science.
