GRAY (HENRY), F. R. S.,

ANATOMY, DESCRIPTIVE AND SURGICAL. The Drawings by H. V. 



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



by the AUTHOR and Dr. CARTER. In one magnificent imperial octavo volume, of nearly 800 



pages, with 363 large and elaborate engravings on wood. Price in extra cloth, $6 25; leather 



raised bands, $7 00. (Ready t/tis month.) 



The author has endeavored in this work to cover a more extended range of subjects than is 

 customary in the 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 and surgery, thus rendering it both 

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

 engravings 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. 



Some delay has arisen from the fact that the English edition was found to contain various typo- 

 graphical errors, which, though of minor importance in themselves, might yet prove annoying to 

 the student. Arrangements were therefore made with a competent professional man to revise the 

 work thoroughly, and the necessary correctness, it is hoped, has been thereby secured. While no 

 additions have been found necessary, some alterations of arrangement have been introduced, among 

 which may be mentioned the Index", the plan of which is much more convenient than that of the 

 original work. The completeness of the whole volume may, indeed be judged by the fulness of 

 this Index, which occupies one hundred columns, and contains over seven thousand references. 



In every detail of mechanical execution, the publishers feel justified in presenting this volume as 

 one of the handsomest that has yet been offered to the American public. 



For this truly admirable work the profession is i of reference for the practitioner, demanding a place 

 indebted to the distinguished author of " Gray on I in even the most limited library of the physician or 

 the Spleen." The vacancy it fills has been long felt \ surgeon, and a work of necessity for the student to 

 to exist in this country. Mr. Gray writes through- ' fix in his mind what he has learned by the dissecting 

 out with both branches of his subject in view. His ' knife from the book of nature. The Dublin Quar- 



branches of his subj 

 description of each particular part is followed by a 

 notice of its relations to the parts with which it is 

 connected, and this, too, sufficiently ample for all 

 the purposes of the operative surgeon. After de- 

 scribing the bones and muscles, he gives a concise 

 statement of the fractures to which the hones of 

 the extremities are most liable, together with the 

 amount and direction of the displacement to which 

 the fragments are subjected by muscular action.

In our judgment, the mode of illustration adopted 

 in the present, volume cannot but present many ad- 

 vantages to the student of anatomy. To the zealous 

 disciple of Vesalius, earnestly desirous of real im- 



provement, the book will certainly be of immense 

 f ne value ; but, at the same time, we must also confess 

 [ icn that to those simply desirous of " cramming" it 

 ' tlon - I will be an undoubted godsend. The peculiar value 



The section on arteries is remarkably full and ac- of Mr . Gray > s mode o f illustration is nowhere more
