BLANCHARD & LEA'S MEDICAL, 



MACLISE (JOSEPH), SURGEON. 



SURGICAL ANATOMY, 



FORMING ONE VOLUME, VERY LARGE IMPERIAL QUARTO. 



With Sixty-eight large and splendid Plates, drawn in the best style, and beautifully colored. 

 Containing one hundred and ninety Figures, many of them the size of life. 



TOGETHER WITH COPIOUS AND EXPLANATORY LETTER-PRESS. 



Strongly and handsomely bound in extra cloth, being one of the cheapest and best executed Surgical 

 works as yet issued in this country. 



Copies can be sent by mail, in five parts, done up in stout covers. 



This great work being now concluded, the publishers confidently present it to the attention of the 

 profession as worthy in every respect of their approbation and patronage. No complete work of 

 the kind has yet been published in the English language, and it therefore will supply a want long 

 felt in this country of an accurate and comprehensive Atlas of Surgical Anatomy to which the 

 student and practitioner can at all times refer, to ascertain the exact relative position of the various 

 portions of the human frame towards each other and to the surface, as well as their abnormal de- 

 viations. The importance of such a work to the student in the absence of anatomical material, and 

 to the practitioner when about attempting an operation, is evident, while the price of the book, not- 

 withstanding the large size, beauty, and finish of the very numerous illustrations, is so low as to 

 place it within the reach of every member of the profession. The publishers therefore confidently 

 anticipate a very extended circulation for this magnificent work. 



vailed, both for accuracy of drawing, beauty of 

 coloring, and all the requisite explanations of the 

 subject in hand. To the publishers, the profession 

 in America is deeply indebted for placing such a 

 valuable, such a useful work, at its disposal, and 

 at such a moderate price. It is one of the most 

 finished and complete pictures of Surgical Anato-

We are extremely gratified to announce to the 

 profession the completion of this truly magnificent 

 work, which, as a whole, certainly stands unri- 



my ever offered to the profession of America. 

 With these plates before them, the student and prac- 

 titioner can never be at a loss, under the most despe- 

 rate circumstances. We do not intend these for 

 commonplace compliments. We are sincere; be- 

 cause we know the work will be found invaluable 

 to the young, no less than the old, surgeon. .We 

 have not space to point out its beauties, and its 

 merits; but we speak of it en masse, as a whole, 

 and strongly urge especially those who, from their 

 position, may be debarred the privilege and opportu- 

 nity of inspecting the fresh subject, to furnish them- 

 selves with the entire work. The New Orleans 

 Medical and Surgical Journal. 



This is by far the ablest work on Surgical Ana- 

 tomy that has come under our observation. We 

 know of no other work that would justify a stu- 

 dent, in any degree, for neglect of actual dissec- 

 tion. A careful study of these plates, and of the 

 commentaries on them, would almost make an ana- 

 tomist of a diligent student. And to one who has 

 studied anatomy by dissection, this work is invalu- 

 able as a perpetual remembrancer, in matters of 

 knowledge that may slip from the memory. The 

 practitioner can scarcely consider himself equipped 

 for the duties of his profession without such a work 

 as this, and this has no rival, in his library. In 

 those sudden emergencies that so often arise, and 

 which require the instantaneous command of minute 

 anatomical knowledge, a work of this kind keeps the 

 deta ils of the dissecting-room perpetually fresh in the 

 ory. We appeal to our readers, -vyhether any 

 one can justifiably undertake the practice of medi- 

 cine who is not prepared to give all needful assist- 

 ance, in all matters demanding immediate 'relief. 

 We repeat that no medical library, however large, 

 can be complete without Maclisp's Surgical Ana- 

 tomy. The American edition is well entitled to the 

 confidence of the profession, and should command, 

 among them, an extensive sale. The investment of 

 the amount of the cost of this work will prove to 

 be a very profitable one, and if practitioners would 

 qualify themselves thoroughly with such important 

 knowledge as is contained in works of this kind, 

 there would be fewer of them sighing for employ- 

 ment. The medical profession should spring towards 

 such an opportunity aa is presented in this republica- 

 tion, to encourage frequent repetitions of American 

 enterprise of this kind. The Western Journal of 

 Medicine and Surgery. 



^. The very low price at which this work is furnished, and the beauty of its execution, 

 require an extended sale to compensate the publishers for the heavy expenses incurred.
