BY HENRY H. SMITH, M. D.,

Professor of Surgery in the University of Pennsylvania,

UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF

WM. E. HORNER, M. D.,

Late Professor of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania.

With about Six Hundred and Fifty exquisite Illustrations on Wood.

In one imperial octavo volume, extra cloth. Price $3.

The great advantages possessed by woodengraving for scientific illustration, in the clearness and distinctness of its minute details, are fully shown in this work, containing as it does, in the compass of a single convenient volume, the general and special anatomy of all the component parts of the body. Commencing with the Bones and Ligaments, it follows with the Muscular and Dermoid Systems, the Organs of Digestion and Generation, Respiration and Circulation, and concludes with the Nervous System and the Senses. Not only is every separate organ and portion of the human frame thus brought distinctly and separately before the eye of the student, but he is also presented with the results of the recent microscopical investigations into the minute anatomy of the various tissues; while the plan adopted, giving the plate and references on the same page, enables him to obtain a more definite impression of the objects, by avoiding the annoyance and interruption of turning backwards and forwards. As a specimen of art, nothing superior to it has yet been produced, while the exceedingly low rate at which it is offered, places it within the reach of every member of the profession. To country practitioners and students it will be found especially useful, as supplying in a great measure the place of skeletons and subjects.

The plan of this Atlas is admirable, and its execution superior to anything of the kind before published in this country. It is a real labor-saving affair, and we regard its publication as the greatest boon that could be conferred on the student of anatomy. It will be equally valuable to the practitioner, by affording him an easy means of recalling the details learned in the dissecting-room, and which are soon forgotten.American Medical Journal.

THE PRINCIPAL FORMS OF THE SKELETON AND OF THE TEETH. By PROFESSOR R. OWEN, F. R. S, Author of "Lectures on Comparative Anatomy," &c. With seventy-six beautiful illustrations. In one handsome volume, royal 12mo., of three hundred and thirty pages, extra cloth, $1 25.

HUMAN HISTOLOGY,

IN ITS RELATIONS TO

DESCRIPTIVE ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND PATHOLOGY.

WITH FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT ILLUSTRATIONS ON WOOD.

It embraces a library upon the topics discussed within itself, and is just what the teacher and learner need. Another advantage, by no means to be overlooked, everything of real value in the wide range which it embraces, is with great skill compressed into an octavo volume of but little more than six hundred pages. We have not only the whole subject of Histology, interesting in itself, ably and fully discussed, but what is of infinitely greater interest to the student, because of greater practical value, are its relations to Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology, which are here fully and satisfactorily set forth. These great supporting branches of practical medicine are thus linked together, and while establishing and illustrating each other, are interwoven into a harmonious whole. We commend the work to students and physicians generally.-Nashville Journ. of Medicine and Surgery, Dec. 1857.

It far surpasses our expectation. We never conceived the possibility of compressing so much valuable information into 80 compact a form. We will not consume space with commendations. We receive this contribution to physiological science "not with vain thanks, but with acceptance bounteous." We have already paid it the practical compliment of making abundant use of it in the preparation of our lectures, and also of recommending its further perusal most cordially to our alumni; a recommendation which we now extend to our readers.-Memphis Med. Recorder, Jan. 1858.

We would recommend it to the medical student and practitioner, as containing a summary of all that is known of the important subjects which it treats; of all that is contained in the great works of Simon and Lehmann, and the organic chemists in general. Master this one volume, we would say to the medical student and practitioner-master this book and you know all that is known of the great fundamental principles of medicine, and we have no hesitation in saying that it is an honor to the American medical profession that one of its members should have produced it.-St. Louis Med. and Surg. Jour., Mar., '58.

This work treats of the foundation of things, and deserves a careful perusal by all those who wish to be respectably informed in their profession.-Ohio Med. and Surg. Journal, May, 1858.

HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY.

BY ROBLEY DUNGLISON, M. D., LL. D.,

Professor of Institutes of Medicine in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia.

In revising this work for its eighth appearance, the author has spared no labor to render it worthy a continuance of the very great favor which has been extended to it by the profession. The whole contents have been rearranged, and to a great extent remodelled; the investigations which of late years have been so numerous and so important, have been carefully examined and incorporated, and the work in every respect has been brought up to a level with the present state of the subject. The object of the author has been to render it a concise but comprehensive treatise, containing the whole body of physiological science, to which the student and man of science can at all times refer with the certainty of finding whatever they are in search of, fully presented in all its aspects; and on no former edition has the author bestowed more labor to secure this result

A similar improvement will be found in the typographical execution of the volumes, which, in this respect, are superior to their predecessors. A large number of additional wood-cuts have been introduced, and the series of illustrations has been greatly modified by the substitution of many new ones for such as were not deemed satisfactory. By an enlargement of the page, these very considerable additions have been accommodated without increasing the size of the volumes to an extent to render them unwieldy.
