While the author has prepared this work especially for students, sufficient de,- 

 scriptive matter has been added to render it extremely valuable to the busy practitioner, 

 particularly the sections on the Viscera, Special Sense's, 

 and Surgical Anatomy. 



The work includes a complete account of Osteology, 

 Articulations and Ligaments, Muscles, Fascias, Vascular 

 and Nervous Systems, Alimentary, Vocal, and Respiratory 

 and Genito-Urinary Apparatuses, the Organs of Special 

 Sense, and Surgical Anatomy. 



In addition to a most carefully and accurately prepared 

 text, wherever possible, the value of the work hay been, 

 enhanced by tables to facilitate and minimize, the labor of 

 students in acquiring a thorough knowledge of this impor- 

 tant subject. The section on the teeth, has also been 

 especially prepared to meet the requirements of students 

 of Dentistry . 



In its preparation, Gray's 'Anatomy [last edition], 

 edited by Keen, being the anatomical work most used; has 

 been taken as the standard. 



Anatomy is a theme that allows such concen- 

 tration better than most medical subjects, and, as 

 the accuracy of this little book is beyond question, 

 its value is assured. As a companion to the dis- 

 sec ting-table, and a convenient reference for the 



- practitioner, it has a definite field of usefulness. — 

 Pittsburgh Medical Review. 



This is a very carefully prepared compend of 

 anatomy, and will be useful' to students for college 

 or hospital examination. There are some excellent 

 tables in the work, particularly the one showing the 

 origin, course, distribution, and functions of the 

 cranial nerves. — Medical Record. 



Dr. Young has compiled a very useful book. 

 We are not inclined to approve of compends as a 

 general rule, but it certainly serves a good purpose j 

 to have the subject of anatomy presented in a com- 

 pact, reliable way, and in a book easily carried to 

 the dissecting-room. This the author has done. 

 The book is well printed, and the illustrations well 

 selected. If a student can indulge in more than one 

 work dn anatomy, — for, of course, he must have a 



, general treatise on the subject, — he can hardly do 

 better than to purchase this compeiid It will save 

 the larger work, and can always be with him during 

 the hours of dissection. — Buffalo Medical and 

 Surgical Journal. 



Excellent tables have been arranged, which 

 tersely and clearly present important' anatomical 

 facts, and the book will be found very convenient 

 for ready reference.— Columbus Medical Journal. 



The book is much more satisfactory than the 

 "remembrances" in vogue, and yet is not too cum- 

 bersome to be carried around and read at odd 

 moments — a property which the student will readily 

 appreciate. — Weekly Medical Revie7v. 



If a synopsis of human anatomy may serve a 

 purpose, and we believe it does, it is very important 

 that the synopsis should be a good one. In this 

 respect the above work may be recommended as a 

 reliable guide. Dr. Young has shown excellent 

 judgment in his selection of illustrations, in the 

 numerous tables, and in the classification of the 

 various subjects. — Therapeutic Gazette. 



Every unnecessary word has been excluded, out 

 of regard to the very limited time at the medical 

 student's disposal. It is also good as a reference 

 book, as it presents the facts about which he wishes 

 to refresh his memory in the briefest manner 

 consistent with clearness. — New York Medical 

 Journal 



It is certainly concise and accurate, and should 

 be in the hands of every student and practitioner. — 

 The Medical Brief.
