*** THIS TREATISE is designed for the use of students, and is a systematic and complete description of all parts of the human body, and includes a thorough Section by Jacobson on Surgical and Topographical Anatomy, with 130 illustrations. Whilst each author is alone responsible for the subject-matter of the article which follows his name, all have combined, by reading proofs, by consultation, etc., to give uniformity to the work.

In no medical text-book of late date is there such a wealth of illustration. Recognizing at the outset that this was a most important part of the work in hand, no expense was spared in its development. With very few exceptions, all the illustrations have been drawn and engraved specially for this purpose from original dissections. Colors have been freely used in the printing in order to bring out all important details.

"The illustrations are profuse and well executed, numbering in all seven hundred and ninety-one wood-cuts, two hundred and fourteen of which are in colors from original sketches. While it must be admitted that there can be scarcely anything new in descriptive anatomy, it is refreshing to notice a departure in the arrangement and treat- ment of this subject, which is PRACTICAL, USEFUL, and INTERESTING. In a word, the natural method is adopted, and several new features of illustration are introduced. For instance, the origin and insertion of muscles with exact areas of attachment are noted in different colored outlines, red for the former and blue for the latter. Thus the reader is enabled at a glance to discriminate in the case of a given bone the difference between the two points, and obtain thereby the direction and extent of action of each muscle. A similar principle is carried out in other parts of the work, which makes the illustrations for the most part unique and invaluable, the schematic drawings especially demanding attention and commendation in this connection. The work as a whole is filled with practical ideas, and the salient points of the subjects are properly emphasized. The surgeon will be particularly edified by the section on the topographical anatomy, which is full to repletion of excellent and useful illustrations."-New York Medical Record.
