MACIilSE'S SURGICAL ANATOMY.— Continued. 



From Prof. Alden Marsh, Albany, N. Y. 

 From what I have seen of it, I think the design and execution of the work admirable, and, at the proper 

 time in my course of lectures, I shall exhibit it to the class, and give it a recommendation worthy of its great 

 merit. 



From H. H. Smith, M. D , Philadelphia. 

 Permit me to express my gratification at the execution of Maclise's Surgical Anatomy. The plates are, in 

 my opinion, the best lithographs that I have seen of a medical character, and the coloring of this number 

 cannot, I think, be improved. Estimating highly the contents of this work, I shall continue to recommend it 

 to my ciass as I have heretofore done. 



From Prof. D. Gilbert Philadelphia. 

 Allow me to say, gentlemen, that the thanks of the profession at large, in this country, are due to you for 

 the republication of this admirable work of Maclise. The precise relationship of the organs in the regions 

 displayed is so perfeci, that even those who have daily access to the dissecting room may, by consulting 

 this work, enliven and confirm their anatomical knowledge prior to an operation. But it is to the thousands 

 of practitioners of our country, who cannot enjoy these advantages, that the perusal of those plates, with 

 their concise and accurate descriptions, will prove of infinite value. These have supplied a desideratum, 

 which will enable them to refresh their knowledge of the important structures involved in their surgical 

 cases, thus esiablishing their self confidence, and enabling them to undertake operative procedures with 

 every assurance of success. And as all the practical departments in medicine rest upon the same basis, and 

 are enriched from the same sources, I need hardly add that this work should be found in the library of every 

 practitioner in the jand. 



From Professor J. M. Bush, of Lexington, Ky. 

 I am delighted with both the plan and execution of the work, and shall take all occasions to recommend it 

 to my private pupils and public classes. 



The most accurately engraved and beautifully colored plates we have ever seen in an American book — 

 one of the best and cheapest surgical works ever published.— Buffalo Medical Journal. 



It is very rare that so elegantly printed, so well illustrated, and so useful a work, is offered at so moderate 

 a price. — Charleston Medical Journal. 



A work which cannot but please the most fastidious lover of surgical science, and we hesitate not to say 

 that if the remaining three numbers of this work are in keeping with the present, it cannot fail to give uni- 

 versal satisfaction. In it, by a succession of plates, are brought to view the relative anatomy of the parts 

 included in the important surgical divisions of the human body, with that fidelity and neatness of touch which 

 is scarcely excelled by nature herself. The part before us differs in many respects from anything of the kind 

 which we have ever seen before. While we believe that nothing but an extensive circulation can compen- 

 sate the publishers for the outlay in the production of this edition of the work— furnished as it is at a very 

 moderate price, within the reach of all— we desire to see it have that circulation which the zeal and peculiar 

 skill of the author (he being his own draughtsman), the utility of the work, and the neat style with which it 

 is executed should demand for it in a liberal profession — N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



This is an admirable reprint of a deservedly popular London publication. Its English prototype, although 

 not yet completed, has already won its way, amongst our British brethren, to a remarkable success. Its 

 plates can boast a superiority that places them almost beyond the reach of competition. And we feel too 

 thankful to the Philadelphia publishers for their very handsome reproduction of the whole work, and at a 

 rate within everybody's reach, not to urge all our medical friends to give it. for their own sakes, the cordial 

 welcome it. deserves, in a speedy and extensive circulation.— The Medical Examiner. 



The plates are accompanied by references and explanations, and when the whole has been published it 

 will be a complete and beautiful system of Surgical Anatomy, having an advantage which is important, and 

 not possessed by colored plates generally, viz . its cheapness, which places it within the reach of every one 

 who may feel disposed to possess the work. Every practitioner, we think, should have a work of this kind 

 within reach, as there are many operations requiring immediate performance in which a book of reference 

 will prove most valuable. — Southern Medical and Surg. Journal. 



The work of IVlaclise on Surgical Anatomy is of the highest value. In some respects it is the best pub- 

 lication of its kind we have seen, and is worthy of a place in the library of any medical man, while the 

 student could scarcely make a better investment than this. — The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 

 No such lithographic illustrations of surgical regions have hitherto, we think, been given. While the 

 operator is shown every vessel and nerve where an operation is contemplated, the exact anatomist is re- 

 freshed by those clear and distinct dissections which every one must appreciate who has a particle of 

 enthusiasm. The English medical press has quite exhausted the words of praise, in recommending this 

 admirable treatise. Those who have any curiosity to gratify, in reference to the perfectibility of the lith- 

 ographic art in delineating the complex mechanism of the human body, are invited to examine our specimen 

 copy. If anything will induce surgeons and students to patronize a book of such rare value, and every- 

 day imporiance to them it will be a survey of the artistical skill exhibited in these fac-similes of nature. — 

 Boston Med. and Surg. Journal. 



The fidelity and accuracy of the plates reflect the highest credit upon the anatomical knowledge of Mr. 

 Maclise. VVe strongly recommend the descriptive commentaries to the perusal of the student both of 

 surgery and medicine These plates will form a valuable acquisition to practitioners settled in the country 

 whether engaged in surgical, medical, or general practice — Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal. 



VVe are well assured that there are none of the cheaper, and but few of the more expensive works on 

 anatomy, which will form so complete a guide to the s'tudent or practitioner as these plates. To practi- 

 tioners, in particular, we recommend this work as far better, and not at all more expensive, than the hete- 

 rogeneous compilations most commonly in use, and which, whatever their value to the student preparing 

 for examination, are as likely to mislead as to guide the physician in physical examination, or the surgeon 

 in the performance of an operation. — Monthly Journal of Medical Sciences 



The dissections from which these various illustrations are taken, appear to have been made with remark- 

 able success; and they are most beautifully represented The surgical commentary is pointed and prac- 

 tical. VVe know of no work on surgical anatomy which can compete with it.— Lancet. 



A NEW MINOR SURGERY. 



ON BANDAGING, AND OTHEffPOINTS OF MINOR SURGERY. 



BY F. W. SARGENT, M. D. 



In one handsome roval 12mo. volume of nearly 400 pages, with 128 wood-cuts. 



From Professor Gilbert, Philadelphia. 



Embracing the smaller details of surgery, which are illustrated by very accurate engravings, the work 



becomes one of very great importance to the practitioner in the performance of his daily duties, since such 



information is rarely found in the general works on surgery now in use. 



Prom Professor Peaslee, Brunswick, Maine 

 While abroad I had consulted all the works which have been published on these subjects, and I feel my- 

 self constrained to say that your book contains all the excellences to be found in all of thern together, besides 

 many others not to be found in any of them, though you have not made, after all, a large book.
