We have here one of the best expositions of the present state of anatomical science extant. There rs no? 

 probably a work to be found in the English language which contains so complete an account of the progress 

 and present state of general and special anaiomy as this. The descriptions which it contains are remark- 

 ably clear and explicit. The American editor has done his task with credit, and a glance at the typogra- 

 phical execution of the work will show that its enterprising publishers have acted their part well in this 

 respect; and in presenting to the American profession this edition, have placed us all under lasting obliga- 

 tions. By the anatomist this work must be eagerly sought for, and no student's library can be complete 

 without it. — The N. Y. Journal of Medicine. 



We know of no work which we would sooner see in the hands of every siudent of this branch of medical 

 science than Sharpey and Quain's Anatomy. — The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. 



It may now be regarded as the most complete and best posted up work on anatomy in the language. It 

 will be found particularly rich in general anatomy. 



The minute structure of bone is described and delineated most clearly and beautifully; in neither will this 

 compare unfavorably with any work we have; and the delineations, for variety of detail, will be found to 

 excel those even of Todd and Bowman. 



The whole work shows the utmost care in preparation and most thorough knowledge of the subject, and 

 it cannot fail to assume a leading position among anatomical works We would recommend it to students, 

 particularly on account of the general anatomy or histology prefixed to the special description of each sys- 

 tem.— The Charleston Medical Journal. 



We have often had occasion to express our great indebtedness to MessTS. Lea & Blanchard, the most dis- 

 tinguished of American Medical publishers, for the many valuable works which they have so repeatedly and 

 liberally supplied us On no one occasion do we feel more thankful to them than in receiving Sharpey and 

 Quain's Anatomy. We believe we express the opinion of all who have examined these volumes, that there 

 is no work superior to them on the subject which they so ably describe— the minute structure of the human 

 body. We cannot commend it too highly to the patronage of the profession.— Southern Medical and Surgi- 

 cal Journal. 



Since that time, a close inspection of the work has revealed new beauties and objects of worth; its pe- 

 rusal has been a pleasant task, and we can only reiterate a former assertion, that it is one of the most com- 

 prehensive and best works upon anatomy in the English language. It is equally valuable to the teacher, 

 practitioner, and student in medicine, and to the surgeon in particular, it is welcome, by presenting in a mas- 

 terly style the surgical anatomy of the most important regions of the body. 



The American Editor has enhanced the value of the original work. Besides contributing largely to the 

 microscopical anatomy of almost every texture treated on, he has added much that is useful toils speciai 

 anatomy and physiology. — The Ohio Medical and Surgical Journal. 



To those who wish an extensive treatise on Anatomy, we recommend these handsome volumes as the best 

 that have ever issued from the English or American Press. 



As a full and systematic work on Anatomy, we apprehend that Qnain and Sharpey's Anatomy will come 

 to be regarded as superior to anything that has preceded it. — The N. W. Medical and Surgical Journal. 



We believe that any country might safely be challenged to produce a treatise on anatomy so readable, so 

 clear, and so full upon all important topics. — British and Foreign Medico- Chirurgical Review. 



It is indeed a work calculated to make an era in anatomical study, by placing before the student every de- 

 partment of his science, with a view to the relative importance of each ; and so skillfully have the different 

 parts been interwoven, that no one who makes this work the basis of his studies will hereafter have any ex- 

 cuse for neglecting or undervaluing any important particulars connected with the structure of the human 

 frame; and whether the bias of his mind lead him in a more especial manner to surgery, physic, or physiolo- 

 gy, he will find here a work at once so comprehensive and practical as to defend him from exclusiveness on 

 lite one hand, and pedantry on the other.— Monthly Journal and Retrospect of the Medical Sciences. 



In general, descriptive, and surgical anatomy, it contains all the information which a 3tudent can desire. — 

 London Medical Gazette. 



We have no hesitation in recommending this treatise on anatomy as the most complete on that subject in 

 the English language ; and the only one, perhaps, in any language, which brings the state of knowledge for- 

 ward 10 the most recent discoveries.— The Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal. 



One of the most valuable works to which the medical siudent can apply for assistance in the prosecution 

 of his Biuihea.—Medico-Chirurgical Review. 



Admirably calculated to fulfil the object for which it is intended.— Provincial Medical Journal. 



The most complete Treatise on Anatomy in the English language.— Edinb'argh Medical Journal. 



There is no work in the English language to be preferred to Dr. Quain's Elements of Anatomy.— London 

 Journal of Medicine.
