Ne'w and much enlarged edition — (Just Issued.) 

 WILSON (ERASMUS), F. R. S. 



A SYSTEM OF HUMAN ANATOMY, General and Special. A new and re- 

 vised American, from the last and enlarged English Edition. Edited by W. H.Gobrecht, M. U., 

 Professor of Anatomy in the Pennsylvania Medical College, &c. Illustrated with three hundred 

 and ninety-seven engravings on wood. In one large and exquisitely printed octavo volume, of 

 over 60U lar^e pages; leather. $3 25. 



The publishers trust that the well earned reputation so long enjoyed by this work will be more 

 than maintained by the present edition. Besides a very thorough revision by the author, it has been 

 most carefully examined by the editor, and the efforts of both have been directed to introducing 

 everything which increased experience in its use has suggested as desirable to render it a complete 

 text-book for those seeking to obtain or to renew an acquaintance with Human Anatomy. The 

 amount of additions which it has thus received may be estimated from the lact that the present 

 edition contains over one-fourth more matter than the last, rendering a smaller type and an enlarged 

 page requisite to keep the volume within a convenient size. The editor has exercised the utmo^t 

 caution to obtain entire accuracy in the text, and has largely increased the number of illustra- 

 tions, of which there are about one hundred and fifty more in this edition than m the last, thus 

 bringing distinctly before the eye of the student everytHing of interest pr importance. 



It may be recommended to the student asnnle&s 

 distinguished by its accuracy and clearneBs of de- 

 scription than by its typographical elegance. The 

 wood-cuts are exquisite. — Brit, and For. Medical 

 Review. 



An elegant edition of one of the most useful and 

 accurate systems of anatumical science which has 

 been issued from the press The illustrations are 

 really beautiful. In its style thework is extremely 

 concise and intelligible. No one can possibly lake 

 up this volume without being struck with the great 



beauty of its mechanical execution, and the clear- 

 ness of the descriptions which it contains is equal ly 

 evident. Let students, by all means examine tue 

 claims of this work on their notice, before they pur- 

 chase a text- book of the vitally important science 

 which thia volume so fully and easily unfolds. — 

 Lancet. 



We regard it as the beet system now extant for 

 students. — Western Lancet. 



It therefore receives our highestcommendation. —

ON DISEASES OF THE SKIN. Fourth and enlarged American, from the last 

 and improved London edition. In one large octavo volume, of 650 pages, extra cloth, $2 75. 



The writings of Wilson, upondiseases of the skin, 

 are by far the most scientific and practical that 

 have ever been presented to the medicarworld on 

 this subject. Thepresentedition is a great improve- 

 ment on all its predecessors. To dwell upon all the 

 great merits and high claims of the work before us, 

 «erta«im, would indeed be an agreeable service; it 

 would be a mental homage which we could freely 

 offer, but we should thus occupy an undue amount 

 of space in this Journal. We will, howtver, look 



at some of the more salient points with which it 

 Abounds, and which make iiincompuitiuiy superior in 

 excellence to all other Greatises on the subject of der- 

 fniUology. No mere speculative views are allowed 

 a place in this volume, which, without a doubt, will, 

 for a very long period, be acknowledged as the chief 

 standard work on dermatology. The principles of 

 an enlightened and rational therapeia are introduced 

 on every appropriate occasion. — Am. Jour. Med. 

 Science^ Oct. 1857. 



ALSO, NOW B.EADT, 



A SERIES OF PLATES ILLUSTRATING- WILSON ON DISEASES OF 



THE SKIN ; consisting of nineteen beautifully execule<] plates, of which twelve are exquisitely 

 colored, presenting the Norma) Anatomy and Pathology of the Skin, and containing accurate re- 

 presentations ol' about one hundred varieties of disease, most of Ihem the size of nature. Price 

 in cloth $4 25. 



In beauty of drawing and accuracy and finish of coloring these plates will be found equal to 

 anything of the kind as yet issued in this country. ' 



The plates by which this edition is accompanied 

 leave nothing to be desired, so far as excellence of 

 delineation and perfect accuracy of illustration are 

 concerned. — M&dico-C hirurgical Review. 



Ot these plates it is impossible to speak too highly 

 The representations uf the various forms of cutane- 

 ous disease are singularly accurate, and the color- 

 ing exceeds almost anything we have met with in 

 point of delicacy and ^aish.— British and Foreign 

 Medical Rtview. 



We have already expressed our high appreciation 

 of Mr. Wilson's treatise on Diseases of the Sitm. 

 The plates are comprised in a separate volume, 

 which we counsel all those who possess the text to 

 purchase. It is a beautiful specimen of color print- 

 ing, and the repiesentations of the various forms of 

 skin disease are as faithful as is possible in plates 

 of the Bizt.— Boston Med. and 6urg, Journal. April 

 8, I85B.
