The author has endeavored in this work to cover a more extendedrange of subjects than is cus- 

 tomary in tle ordinary text-books, by giving not only the details necessary for the student, but 

 also the application of those details in the practice of medicine andsurgery, thusrendering it both 

 a guide for the learner, and an admirable work of reference for the active practitioner. The en- 

 gravings form a special feature in the work, many of them being the size of nature, nearly all 

 original, and having the names of the various parts printed on the body of the cut, in place of 

 figures of reference, with descriptions at the foot. They thus form a complete and splendid series, 

 which will greatly assist the student in obtaining a clear idea of Anatomy, and will also serve to 

 refresh the memory of those who may find in the exigencies of practice the necessity of recalling 

 the details of the dissecting room ; while combining, as it does, a complete Atlas of Anatomy , with 

 a thorough treatise on systematic, descriptive, and applied Anatomy, the work will be found of 

 essential use to all physicians who receive students in their offices, relieving both preceptor and 

 pupil of much labor in laying the groundwork of a thorough medical education. 



Since the appearance of the last American Edition, the work has received three revisions at the 

 hands of its accomplished editor, Mr. Holmes, who has sedulously introduced whatever has seemed 

 requisite to maintain its reputation as a complete and authoritative standard text-book and work 

 of reference. Still further to increase its usefulness, there h.*3 been appended to it the recent 

 work by the distinguished anatomist, Mr. Luther Holden "Landmarks, Medical and Surgical" 

 which gives in a clear, condensed, and systematic way, all the information by which the prac- 

 titioner can determine from the external surface of the body the position of internal parts. Thus 

 complete, the work, it is believed, will furnish all the assistance that can be rendered by type and 

 illustration in anatomical study. No pains have been spared in the typographical execution of 

 the volume, which will be found in all respects superior to former issues. Notwithstanding the 

 increase of size, amounting to over 100 pages and 57 illustrations, it will be kept, as heretofore, 

 at a price rendering it one of the cheapest works ever offered to the American profession.

Tbe recent work of Mr. Holden, which was no- 

 ticed by us on p. 53 of this volume, has been added 

 as an appendix, so that, altogether, this is the mofct 

 practical and complete anatomical treatise available 

 to American students and physicians. The former 

 finds in it the necessary guide in making dissec- 

 tions ; a very comprehensive chapter on minute 

 anatomy; and about all that can be taught him on

The addition of the recent work of Mr. Holden, 

 as an appendix, renders this the most practical and 

 complete treatise available to American students, 

 who find in it a comprehensive chapter on minute

its treatment of each region from a surgical point of 

 view, and in the valuable edition of Mr. Holden, 

 will find all that will be essential to him in his 

 practice New Remedies, Aug. 1878. 



This work is as near perfection as one could pos- 



sibly or reasonably expect any book intended as a 

 text-book or a genera) reference book on anatomy 

 to be. The American publisher deserves the thanks 

 of the profession for appending the recent work of 

 Mr. Holdea, "Landmarks, Medical and Surgical," 

 which has already been commended as a separate 

 book. The latter work treating of topographical 

 anatomy lias become an essential to the library of 

 every intelligent practitioner. We know of no 

 book that can take its place, written as it is by a 

 most dibtinguirhed anatomist. It would be simply 

 a waste of words to say anything further in praise 

 of Gray's Anatomy, the text-book in almost every 

 medical college in this country, and the daily refer- 

 ence book of every practitioner who has occasion 



and special anatomy, while its treatment of each 

 region, from a surgical poiut of view, in the valu- 

 able section by Mr. Holden, i* all that will be essen- 

 tial to them in practice. Ohio Medical Recorder, 



It is difficult to speak in moderate terms of this 

 new edition of "Gray." It seerns to be as nearly 

 perfect as it is possible to make a book devoted to 

 any branch of medical science. The labors of the 

 eminent men who have successively revised the 

 eight editions through which it has passed, would 

 seem to leave nothing for future editors to do. The 

 addition of Holden's " Landmarks" will make it as 

 indispensable to the practitioner of medicine and 

 surgery as it has been heretofore to th student. As 

 regards completeness, ease of reference, utility, 

 beauty, and cheapness, it has no rival. No stu- 

 dent should enter a medical school without it ; no 

 physician can afford to have it absent from his 

 library. St. Louis Glin. Record, Sept. 1S7S.
