    SHARPEY (WILLIAM), M. D., QUAIN (JONES), M. D., AND QUAIN (RICHARD), F. R. S., &c. HUMAN ANATOMY. Eevised, with Notes and Additions, by Joseph Leidy, M. D. Complete in two large octavo volumes, of about thirteen hundred pages. Beautifully illustrated with over five hundred engravings on wood. We have no hesitation in recommending this trea- tise on anatomy as the most complete on that sub- ject in the English language; and the only one, perhaps, in any language, which brings the state of knowledge forward to the most recent disco- veries.—The Edinburgh Med. and Surg. Journal. It is indeed a work calculated to make an era in anatomical study, by placing before the student every department of his science, with a view to the relative importance of each ; and so skilfully have the different parts been interwoven, that no one who makes this work the basis of his studies, will hereafter have any excuse 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 physiology, he will find here a work at once so comprehensive and practical as to defend him from exclusiveness on the one hand, and pedantry on the. other.— Monthly Journal and Retrospect of the Medical Sciences. Admirably calculated to fulfil the object for which it is intended.—Provincial Medical Journal. The most complete Treatise on Anatomy in the English language.—Edinburgh Medical Journal. There is no work in the English language to be preferred to Dr. Quain's Elements of Anatomy.— London Journal of Medicine. SMITH (HENRY H.), M. D., AND HORNER (WILLIAM E.), M. D. AN ANATOMICAL ATLAS, illustrative of the Structure of the Human Body. In one volume, large imperial octavo, with about six hundred and fifty beautiful figures. These figures are well selected, and present a complete and accurate representation of that won- derful fabric, the human body. The plan of this Atlas, which renders it so peculiarly convenient for the student, and its superb artistical execution, have been already pointed out. We must congratu- late the student upon the completion of this Atlas, as it is the most convenient work of the kind that has yet appeared ; and we must add, the very beau- tiful manner in which it is got up is so creditable to the country as to be flattering to our national pride.—American Medical Journal. SARGENT (F. W.l, M. D. ON BANDAGING AND OTHER POINTS OF MINOR SURGERY. In one handsome royal 12mo. volume of nearly 400 pages, with 128 wood-cuts. The very best manual of Minor Surgery we have ] We have carefully examined this work, and find it seen ; an American volume, with nearly four hundred well executed and admirably adapted to the use of pages of good practical lessons, illustrated by about ! the student. Besides the subjects usually embraced one hundred and thirty wood-cuts. In these days ' in works on Minor Surgery, there is a short chapter of trial, when a doctor's reputation hangs upon , on bathing, another on anaesthetic agents, and an a clove hitch, or the roll of a bandage, it would be , appendix of formula?. The author has given an ex- well, perhaps, to carry such a volume as Mr. Sar- ] cellent work on this subject,and his publishers have gent's always in our coat-pocket, or, at all events, [ illustrated and printed it in most beautiful style.— to listen attentively to his instructions at home.— i The Charleston Medical Journal. Buffalo Med. Journal. I STANLEY (EDWARD). A TREATISE ON DISEASES OF THE BONES. In one volume, octavo, extra cloth, 286 pages. SMITH (ROBERT WILLIAM). A TREATISE ON FRACTURES IN THE VICINITY OF JOINTS, AND ON DISLOCATIONS. One volume octavo, with 200 beautiful wood-cuts. SIMON (JOHN), F. R. S. GENERAL PATHOLOGY, as conducive to the Establishment of Rational Principles for the Prevention and Cure of Disease. A Course of Lectures delivered at St. Thomas's Hospital during the summer Session of 1850. In one neat octavo volume. {Lately Issued.) His views are plainly and concisely stated, and in such an attractive manner, as to enchain the atten- tion of the reader, and should they be adopted by the profession at large, are calculated to produce im- portant changes in medicine. Physicians and stu- dents will obtain from its perusal, not only the latest discoveries in Pathology, but that which is even more valuable, a systematic outline for the prosecu- tion of their future studies and investigations. Alto- gether, we look upon it as one of the most satisfactory and rational treatises upon that branch now extant. —Medical Examiner. SMITH (TYLER W.), M.
