CARTER, M. D., late Demonstrator on Anatomy at St. George's Hospital ; the Dissections jointly 

 by the AUTHOR and Dr. CARTER. Second American, from the second revised and improved 

 London edition. In one magnificent imperial octavo volume, of over 800 pages, with 388 large

The speedy exhaustion of a large edition of this work is sufficient evidence that its plan and exe- 

 cution have been found to present superior practical advantages in facilitating the study of Analo- 

 .my. In presenting it to the profession a second time, the author has availed himself of the oppor- 

 tunity to supply any deficiencies which experience in its use had shown to exist, and to correct 

 any errors of detail, to which the first edition of a scientific work on so extensive and complicated 

 a science is liable. These improvements have resulted in some increase in the size of the volume, 

 while twenty-six new wood-cuts have been added to the beautiful series of illustrations which 

 form so distinctive a feature of the work. The American edition has been passed through the press 

 under the supervision of a competent professional man, who has taken every care to render it in 

 all respects accurate, and it is now presented, without any increase of price, as fitted to maintain 

 and extend the popularity which it has everywhere acquired. 



With little trouble, the busy practitioner whose i work of Mr. Gray to the attention of the medical 

 knowledge of anatomy may have become obscured by profession, feeling certain that it should be regarded 



as one of the most valuable contributions ever made

In this view, we regard the work of Mr. Gray as 

 far better adapted to the wants of the profession, 

 and especially of the student, than any treatise on 

 anatomy yet published in this country . It is destined, 

 we believe, to supersede all others, both as a manual 

 of dissections, and a standard of reference to the
