Saunders’ . . Medical Hand=Atlases HE series of books included under this title surpass any similar volumes ever published for scientific accuracy, pictorial beauty, compactness, and f cheapness. Each volume contains from 50 to 100 coloured plates, besides numerous illustrations in the toxt. The coloured plates have been executed by the most skilful German lithographers, in some cases more than twenty impressions being required to obtain the desired result. Each plate is accompanied by a full and appropriate description, and each book contains a condensed but adequate outline of the subject to which it is devoted. One of the most valuable featuros of these Atlases is that they offer a ready and satisfactory substitute for clinical observation. Such observation, of course, is available only to the residents in large medical centres; and even then the requisite variety is seen only after long years of routine hospital work. To those unable to attend Important clinics those books will be absolutely indispensable, as presenting in a complete and convenient form the most accurate reproductions of clinical work, interpreted by the most competent of clinical teachers. In planning this series of books arrangements were made with representative publishers in the chief medical centres of the world for the publication of translations of the Atlases into nine different languages, the lithographic plates for all being made in Germany, where work of this kind has boon brought to the greatest perfection. The enormous expense of making the plates being shared, by the various publishers, the cost of each one was reduced to practically one-tenth. Thus by reason of their universal translation and reproduction, affording international distribution, the publishers have been enabled to secure for these Atlases the best artistic and professional talent, to produce them in the most elegant style, and yet to offer them at a price heretofore unapproached in cheapness. During the past year, Saunders’ Medical Hand-Atlases have been translated and published in four more languages—Dutch, Japanese, Itoumanian, and Bohemian—so that now this remarkable series can be had in thirteen different languages, or practically every language of the civilised world. The various languages in which the volumes have appeared include English, German, French, Italian, Itussian, Spanish. Japanese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Itoumanian, Bohemian, and Hungarian. Two years ago, Mr. Saunders contracted with the original publisher for 100,000 copies of the twenty-six volumes that are to compose this series of books. Of these twenty-six volumes only seventeen have appeared, and yet 80,000 copies have already been imported. The volumes in this series are selling with remarkable rapidity, and there is every indication that over 100,000 copies will be sold of these seventeen volumes alone. Basing the sales of future numbers on those already issued, the prospects are that the original contract will be exceeded three times over, and that the sale of the complete series will reach at least 300,000 copies. ... . . . O11 account of the marked favour with which these books have been received by the medical profession, and the enormous sales that they seem destined to reach the publisher has been enabled to prepare and furnish special additional coloured plates, making the series liven handsomer and more complete than was originally intended As an indication of the great practical value of the Atlases and of the ™men J3 favour with which they have been received, it should be noted that the Department of the U.S. Army has adopted the “Atlas of Operative Suigeiy standard, and has ordered the book in large quantities for distribution regiments and army posts.
