those presented to the world by Sabatler and 

 Plenck, within a few years, deserve to be particu- 

 larly mentioned. Mr. John Ikll, of Edinburgh, 

 has pubhshed two volumes of a system of anatomy, 

 which is considered as a very able work, so far as

 gravings, is supposed to contain improvements, of

To the above may be added a variety of valuable 

 publications by professor Scarpa, of Pavia, wlio lias

 schools of anatomy. 



In particular departments of anatomy, much has 

 been done within the century to enrich the science, 

 \yhich ought not to be passed without special 

 notice. 



The gravid iita-us is a subject which has attracted 

 much attention, and received considerable improve- 

 ment within this period. The works of Albinus, 

 Roejderer, and Jenty, have greatly enlarged tlie

 Dr. Hunter's publication on the gravid uterus, to 

 which he had devoted a long time and unconnnpn 

 pains, far excelled every preceding work. Meckel, 

 and the second Monro, liave treated on the nerves
