For a list of Articles and Authors, together with opinions of the press, see Supplement to the No vember number of the Medical News and Library for 1845. This work having been completed and placed before the profession, has been steadily advancing in favor with all classes of physicians. The numerous advantages which it combines, beyond those of any other work; the weight which each article carries with it, as being the production of some physician of acknowledged reputation who has devoted himself especially to the subject confided to him; the great diversity of topics treated of; the compendiousness with which everything of importance is digested into a comparatively small space; the manner in which it has been brought up to the day, everything necessary to the American practitioner having been added by Dr. Dunglison; the neatness of its mechanical execution; and the extremely low price at which it is afforded, combine to render it one of the most attractive works now before the profession. As a book for constant and reliable reference, it presents advantages which are shared by no other work of the kind. To country practitioners, especially, it is absolutely invaluable, comprising in a moderate space, and trifling cost, the matter for which they would have to accumulate libraries, when removed from public collections. The steady and increasing demand with which it has been favored since its completion, shows that its merits have been appreciated, and that it is now universally considered as the LIBRARY FOR CONSULTATION AND REFERENCE. A MAGNIFICENT AND CHEAP WORK. SMITH & HORNER'S ANATOMICAL ATLAS. Just Published, Price Five Dollars in Parts. AN ANATOMICAL ATLAS ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN BODY. BY HENRY H. SMITH, M. D., Fellow of the College of Physicians, &c. UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF WILLIAM E. HORNER, M. D., Professor of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania. This work is but just completed, having been delayed over the time intended by the great difficulty in giving to the illustrations the desired finish and perfection. It consists of five parts, whose contents are as follows: PART I. The Bones and Ligaments, with one hundred and thirty engravings. PART II. The Muscular and Dermoid Systems, with ninety-one engravings. PART III. The Organs of Digestion and Generation, with one hundred and ninety-one engravings. PART IV. The Organs of Respiration and Circulation, with ninety-eight engravings. PART V. The Nervous Systein and the Senses, with one hundred and twenty-six engravings Forming altogether a complete System of Anatomical Plates, of nearly SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIGURES, executed in the best style of art, and making one large imperial octavo volume. Those who do not want it in parts can have the work bound in extra cloth or sheep at an extra cost. This work possesses novelty both in the design and the execution. It is the first attempt to apply engraving on wood, on a large scale, to the illustration of human anatomy, and the beauty of the parts issued induces the publishers to flatter themselves with the hope of the perfect success of their undertaking. The plan of the work is at once novel and convenient. Each page is perfect in itself, the references being immediately under the figures, so that the eye takes in the whole at a glance, and obviates the necessity of continual reference backwards and forwards. The cuts are selected from the best and most accurate sources; and, where necessary, original drawings have been made from the admirable Anatomical Collection of the University of Penn sylvania. It embraces all the late beautiful discoveries arising from the use of the microscope in the investigation of the minute structure of the tissues. In the getting up of this very complete work, the publishers have spared neither pains nor expense, and they now present it to the profession, with the full confidence that it will be deemed all that is wanted in a scientific and artistical point of view, while, at the same time, its very low price places it within the reach of all. It is particularly adapted to supply the place of skeletons or subjects, as the profession will see by examining the list of plates "These figures are well selected, and present a complete and accurate representation of that wonderful 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 congratulate 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 beautiful manner in which it is got up' is so creditable to the country us to be flattering to our national pride."-American Medical Journal. "This is an exquisite volume, and a beautiful specimen of art. We have numerous Anatomical Atlases, but we will venture to say that none equal it in cheapness, and none surpass it in faithfulness and spirit. We strongly recommend to our friends, both urban and suburban, the purchase of this excellent work, for which both editor and publisher deserve the thanks of the profession."-Medical Examiner. We would strongly recommend it, not only to the student, but also to the working practitioner, who, although grown rusty in the toils of his harness still has the desire, and often the necessity, of refreshing his knowledge in this fundamental part of the science of medicine."-New York Journal of Medicine and Surg. "The plan of this Atlas is admirable, and its execution superior to any thing of the kind before published in this country. It is a real labour-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. "It is a beautiful as well as particularly useful design, which should be extensively patronized by physicians, surgeons and medical students."-Boston Med, and Surg. Journal. "It has been the aim of the author of the Atlas to comprise in it the valuable points of all previous works, to embrace the latest microscopical observations on the anatomy of the tissues, and by placing it at a moderate price to enable all to acquire it who may need its assistance in the dissecting or operating room, or other field of practice."-Western Journal of Med, and Surgery. These numbers complete the series of this beautiful work, which fully merits the praise bestowed upon the earlier numbers. We regard all the engravings as possessing an accuracy only equalled by their beauty, and cordially recommend the work to all engaged in the study of anatomy."-New York Journal of Medicine and Surgery. "A more elegant work than the one before us could not easily be placed by a physician upon the table of his student."-Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery, "We were much pleased with Part I, but the Second Part gratifies us still more, both as regards the attractive nature of the subject. (The Derinoid and Muscular Systems,) and the beautiful artistical execution of the Justrations. We have here delineated the most accurate inieroscopic views of some of the tissues. as, for insunce, the cellular and adipose tissues, the epidermis, rete mucosum and cutis vera, the sebaceous and perspiratory organs of the skin, the perspiratory glands and bars of the skin, and the bair and nails. Then Follows the general anatomy of the muscles, and, lastly, their separate delineations. We would recommend this Anatomical Atlas to our readers in the very strongest terms."--New York Journal of Medicine and Sur Bery. LEA & BLANCHARD'S PUBLICATIONS. HORNER'S ANATOMY, NEW EDITION. SPECIAL ANATOMY AND HISTOLOGY. PROFESSOR OF ANATOMY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, &c., &c. With many improvements and additions. In two octavo volumes, with illustrations on 17 This standard work has been so long before the profession, and has been so extensively used, that, in announcing the new edition, it is only necessary to state, that it has undergone a most careful revision; the author has introduced many illustrations relating to Mi. croscopical Anatomy, and has added a large amount of text on those various points of investigation that are rapidly advancing and attracting so much attention. This new edition has been arranged to refer conveniently to the illustrations in Smith and Horner's Anatomical Atlas. "The name of Professor Horner is a sufficient voucher for the fidelity and accuracy of any work on anatomy, but if any further evidence could be required of the value of the present publication, it is afforded by the fact of its having reached a seventh edition. It is altogether unnecessary now to inquire into the particular merits of a work which has been so long before the profession, and is so well known as the present one, but in announcing a new edition, it is proper to state that it has undergone several modifications, and has been much extended, so as to place it on a level with the existing advanced state of anatomy.The histological portion has been remodelled and rewritten since the last edition; numerous wood cuts have been introduced, and specific references are made throughout the work to the beautiful figures in the Anatomical Atlas, by Dr. H. H. Smith."-The American Medical Journal, for January, 1847.. HORNER'S DISSECTOR. THE UNITED STATES DISSECTOR, BEING A NEW EDITION, WITH EXTENSIVE MODIFICATIONS, "HORNER'S PRACTICAL ANATOMY." IN ONE VERY NEAT VOLUME, ROYAL 12м0. The numerous alterations and additions which this work has undergone, the improvements which have been made in it, and the numerous wood-cuts which have been introduced, render it almost a new work. It is the standard work for the Students in the University of Pennsylvania. Some such guide-book as the above is indispensable to the student in the dissecting room, and this, prepared by one of the most accurate of our anatomists, may claim to combine as many advantages as any other extant. It has been so favorably received that the publishers have issued the fourth edition, which comes forth embellished by various wood cuts.The copy for which we are indebted to the publishers, although received by us a fortnight since, gives proof in its appearance that it has already seen service at the dissecting table, where students have found it a valuable guide.—The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery. HOPE ON THE HEART. NEW EDITION, JUST PUBLISHED. OF THE HEART AND GREAT VESSELS, AND ON THE AFFECTIONS WHICH MAY BE MISTAKEN FOR THEM. Second American from the third London edition. With Notes and a Detail of Recent Experiments. BY C. W. PENNOCK, M. D., &c. In one octavo volume of nearly six hundred pages with thographic plates. 18 LEA & BLANCHARD'S PUBLICATIONS. WORKS BY PROFESSOR W. P. DEWEES. NEW EDITIONS. DEWEES'S MIDWIFERY. A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM OF MIDWIFERY. CHIEFLY DESIGNED TO FACILITATE THE INQUIRIES OF THOSE WHO MAY BE PUR- ILLUSTRATED BY OCCASIONAL CASES AND MANY ENGRAVINGS. BY WILLIAM P. DEWEES, M.D., LATE PROFESSOR OF MIDWIFERY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, ETC. That this work, notwithstanding the length of time it has been before the profession, and the numerous treatises that have appeared since it was written, should have still maintained its ground, and passed to edition after edition, is sufficient proof that in it the practical talents of the author were fully placed before the profes sion. Of the book itself it would be superfluous to speak, having been so long and so favorably known throughout the country as to have become identified with American Obstetrical Science. DEWEES ON FEMALES. A TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF FEMALES. BY WILLIAM P. DEWEES, M. D., &c., LATE PROFESSOR OF MIDWIFERY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, ETC. With the Author's last Improvements and Corrections. In one octavo volume, with plates. DEWEES ON CHILDREN. A TREATISE ON THE PHYSICAL AND MEDICAL TREATMENT OF CHILDREN, LATE PROFESSOR OF MIDWIFERY IN TIIE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, ETC. ETC. In one volume octavo. This edition embodies the notes and additions prepared by Dr. Dewees before his death, and will be found much improved. The objects of this work are, 1st, to teach those who have the charge of children, either as parent or guardian, the most approved methods of securing and improving their physical powers. This is attempted by pointing out the duties which the parent or the guardian owes for this purpose, to this interesting but helpless class of beings, and the manner by which their duties shall be fulfilled. And 2d, to render available a long experience to those objects of our affection when they become diseased. In attempting this, the author has avoided as much as possible, "technicality," and has given, if he does not flatter himself too much to each disease of which he treats, its appropriate and designating characters. with a fidelity that will prevent any two being confounded together, with the best rode of treating them, that either his own experience or that of others has suggested. Physicians cannot too strongly recommend the use of this book in all families. ASHWELL ON THE DISEASES OF FEMALES. A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN. ILLUSTRATED BY CASES DERIVED FROM HOSPITAL AND PRIVATE PRACTICE. Member of the Royal College of Physicians; Obstetric Physician and Lecturer to Guy's Hospital, &c. The whole complete in one large octavo volume.` "The most able, and certainly the most standard and practical work on female diseases that we have yet seen.”—Medico-Chirurgical Review. |
