![QRAY {HENRY), F.B.S., Lecturer on Anatomy at St. George's Hospital, London. ANATOMY, DESCRIPTIYE AND SURGICAL. The Drawings by H. V. Carter, M.D., and Dr. Westmacott. The Dissectionsjointly by the Author and Dr. Carter. With an Introduction on General Anatomy and Development by T. Holmes, M.A., Surgeon to St. George's Hospital. A new American, from the eighth enlargec and improved London edition. To which is added Lakdiiarks, Medical and Surgical, by Luther Holden, F.R C.S., author of Human Osteology, A Manual of Dissections, etc. In one magnificent imperial octavo volume of 983 pages, with 622 large and elaborate engravings on wood. Cloth, $6 ; leather, raised bands, $7. {Just Ready.) The author has endeavored in this work to cover a more extendedrange of subjects than iscuc- tomary in the ordinary text-books, by giving not only the details necessary for the student, but also the application of those details in the practice of medicine and surgery, thusrendering it both a guide for the learner, and an admirable work of reference for the active practitioner. The en- gravings form a special feature in the work, many of them being the size of nature, nearly all original, and having the names of the various parts printed on the body of the cut, in place of figures of reference, with descriptions at the foot. They thus form a complete and splendid series, which will greatly assist the student in obtaining a clear idea of Anatomy, and will also serve to refresh the memory of those who may find in the exigencies of practice the necessity of recalling the details of the dissecting room ; while combining, as it does, a complete Atlas of Anatomy, with a thorough treatise on systematic, descriptive, and applied Anatomy, the work will be found of essential use to all physicians who receive students in their offices, relieving both preceptor and pupil of much labor in laying the groundwork of a thorough medical education. Since the appearance of the last Americnn Edition, the work has received three revisions at the hands of its accomplished editor, Mr, Holmes, who has sedulously introduced whatever has seemed requisite to maintain its reputation as a complete and authorifc>'iive standard text-book and work of reference. Still further to increase its usefulness, there has been appended to it the recent work by the distinguished anatomist, Mr. Luther Holden—Landmarks, Medical and Surgical —which gives in a clear, condensed, and systematic way, all the information by which the prac- titioner can determine from the external surface of the body the position of internal parts. Thus complete, the work, it is believed, will furnish all the assistance that can be rendered by type and illustration in anatomical study. No pains have been spared in the typographical execution of the volume, which will be found in all respects superior to former issues. Notwithstanding the increase of size, amounting to over 100 pages and 57 illustrations, it will be kept, as heretofore, at a price rendering it one of the cheapest works ever offered to the American profession. to consult his books on anatomy. The work .is simply indispensable, especially this present Amer- ican edition.— Va. Med. Monthly, Sept. 1S7P. The recent work of Mr. Holden, which was no- ticed by us on p. .53 of this volume, has been added as an appendix, so that, altogether, this is the most practical and complete anatomical treatise available to American students and physicians. The former tiuds in it the necessary guide in making dissec- tions ; a very comprehensive chapter ou minute anatomy ; and about all that can be taught him on general and special anatomy; while the latter, in its treatment of each region from a surgieal point of view, and in the valuable edition of Jlr Holden, will find all that will be essential to him in his practice —New Remedies, Aug. 1S7S. This work is as near perfection as one could pos- sibly or reasonably expect any book intended as a text-book or a general reference book on anatomy to be. The American publisher deserves the thanks of the profession for appending the recent work of Mr. Holden,'' Landmarks, Medical and S(J.rgical, which has already been commended as a separate book. The latter work—treating of topographical anatomy—lias become an e.ssential to the library of every intelligent practitioner. We know of no book that can take its place, written as it is by a most distingui.-hed anatomist. It would be simply a waste of words to say anything further in praise of Gray's Anatomy, the text-book in almost every medical college in this country, and the daily refer- ence book of every practitioner who has occasion The addition of the recent work of Mr. Holden, as an appendix, renders this the most practical and complete treatise available to American students, who find in it a comprehensive chapter ou minute anatomy, about all that can be taught on general and special anatomy, while its treatment of each region, from a surgical point of viey, in the valu- able section by Mr. Holden,i« all that will be essen- tial to them in practice.— Oliio Medical Recorder, Aug. 1S7S. It is difficult to speak in moderate terms of this new edition of Gray. It seems to be as nearly perfect as it is possible to make a book devoted to any branch of medical science. The labors of the eminent men who have successively revised the eight editions through which it has passed, would seem to leave nothing for future editors to do. Tlie addition of Holden's Landmarks will make it as indispensable to the practitioner of medicine and surgery as it has been heretofore to the student. .\s regards completeness, case of reference, utility, beauty, and cheapness, it has no rival. No slu- di'Ut should enter a medical school without it ; no physician can afford to have it absent from his library.—St. Louis Clin.
