    MR. QUAIN'S WORK ON THE ARTERIES. Now ready, Parts I. to XIV., each 12s., THE ANATOMY OF THE ARTERIES, WITH ITS APPLICATIONS TO PATHOLOGY AND OPERATIVE SURGERY. Jn 3LttfjograpT)ic ©ratoings, THE EIZE OP AND DRAW FROM NATURE, WITH PRACTICAL COMMENTARIES. BY RICHARD QUAIN, PROFESSOR OF ANATOMY IN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, AND SURGEON TO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL. The Plates are Imperial Folio, 27 by 21^ inches; the Letterpress, Demy 8vo. Each Part contains Five Plates, accompanied by a Part of Letter-press, The Work will be completed in about seventeen Parts. Parts I. to VII., forming Volume I. (if the Work be bound in two Volumes) may now he had, bound in cloth ; or half-bound in morocco, with the Plates folded into half their full size, price 5/. 5s. The object of this Publication is to lay before the Student and Practitioner, by means of accurate delineations and a record of the peculiarities observed in numerous cases, a correct History of tlie Blood- vessels, arranged especially with a view to its bearing on Practical Surgery. PLAN OF THE WORK. 1st, In the Drawings the Arteries are, in the first place, represented according to their most frequent arrangement, without the accompnnying veins and nerves. 2ndly. They are shown in connection with the larger veins and nerves. 3rdly. Tiie deviations from that which has been taken as the standard condition of the arteries are illustrated in a series of sketches. 4thly. Such peculiarities of the veins, and occasionally of the nerves and muscles, as appeared likelv to be of importance in surgical operations, are represented on a reduced scale. 5th]y. Illustrations of the State of the Arteries after the Operations for Aneurism, are given at the end of the publication. The Letterpress, besides an explanation of, and remaiks on the Drawings, contains— A Series of Tables showing, in a short spare, the condition of each of the larger arteries in about 290 bodies. And some Practical Commentaries, which consist for the most part of inferences from the facts pre- viously set forth, and their application in the performance of the operations of Surgery. In conclusion, we venture to predict, that the accuracy, the originality, the sterling practical usefulness, and, comparatively speaking, thp moderate price of this beautiful work, will soon place it not only in every public medical library in the United Kingdom, but in that of every professional man who feels deeply interested in ihe progress of anatomical science, or in the efBcieiicy and perfection of operative surgery.—Medical Gazette, Jan.9, 1841. '• This is a work excellent both in its conception and execution, and meriting the warmest patronage of the profession. Judging from the specimens before us, we believe that it will not only give us a much more accurate and more complete anatomy of the whole arterial system than we already possessed, but that it -nil] give all the most precise information relating to every point connected with the blood-vessels and nerves which it most imports the practical surgeon to have. The plates do the highest credit to Mr. Maclise as works of art. In addi- tion to their beauty and accuracy, they have the great advantage of representing the objects of ihcir natural magnitude: a point of first-rate importance in surgical anatomy. Most of them are also coloured. Considering these circumstances, it is surprising that the work can be olTered to purchasers at so low a rate as twelve shillings per Part, each containing five Plates. —IlritishandFunignMedicalRemeu-,San. 18<1.
