*** THIS TREATISE is designed for the use of students, and is a sys- 

 tematic and complete description of all parts of the human body, and 

 includes a thorough Section by Jacobson on Surgical and Topographical 

 Anatomy, with 130 illustrations. Whilst each author is alone responsible 

 for the subject-matter of the article which follows his name, all have 

 combined, by reading proofs, by consultation, etc. , to give uniformity to 

 the work. 



In no medical text-book of late date is there such a wealth of illus- 

 tration. Recognizing at the outset that this was a most important part of 

 the work in hand, no expense was spared in its development. With very 

 few exceptions, all the illustrations have been drawn and engraved specially 

 for this purpose from original dissections. Colors have been freely used 

 in the printing in order to bring out all important details. 



"The illustrations are profuse and well executed, numbering in all seven hundred 

 and ninety-one wood-cuts, two hundred and fourteen of which are in colors from origi- 

 nal sketches. While it must be admitted that there can be scarcely anything new in 

 descriptive anatomy, it is refreshing to notice a departure in the arrangement and treat- 

 ment of this subject, which is PRACTICAL, USEFUL, and INTERESTING. In a word, the 

 natural method is adopted, and several new features of illustration are introduced. For 

 instance, the origin and insertion of muscles with exact areas of attachment are noted in 

 ditferent colored outlines, red for the former and blue for the latter. Thus the reader- 

 is enabled at a glance to discriminate in the case of a given bone the difference between 

 the two points, and obtain thereby the direction and extent of action of each muscle. A 

 similar principle is carried out in other parts of the work, which makes the illustrations 

 for the most part unique and invaluable, the schematic drawings especially demanding 

 attention and commendation in this connection. The work as a whole is filled with prac- 

 tical ideas, and the salient points of the subjects are properly emphasized. The surgeon 

 will be particularly edified by the section on the topographical anatomy, which is full to 

 repletion of excellent and useful illustrations." New York Medical Record.
