    JUST COMPLETED, In two vols, royal folio, half-bound morocco, gilt tops, price 121. plain, 20/. coloured, A SERIES OF ANATOMICAL PLATES, In iLitljogtap^i), WITH REFERENCES AND PHYSIOLOGICAL COMMENTS, ILLUSTRATING THE STRUCTURE OF THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE HUMAN BODY. EDITED BY JONES QUAIN, M.D., AND ERASMUS WILSON, LECTURER ON ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY AT THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. This Publication consists of a Series of the most approved Anatomical Drawings, some original, others selected from monograph treatises or from systematic works. The highest place in the monograph treatises is deservedly conceded to the works of Scarpa and Tiedemann, and in the systematic works, to those of Mascagni and Caldani; but from their size and the style in which they are executed, the expense of publication is necessarily such as to confine their usefulness to comparatively few persons. It may, however, be fairly admitted, that the collections of Cloquet and Loder, though not of equal pretension, are no less valuable to students, as a guide to the knowledge of that complex fabric whose composition they seek to investigate ; and to those of maturer age, as a means of reviving impressions received during their earlier studies. As, however, even the works last named are inaccessible to some from their price, and to others from the descriptions and references being given in a foreign language, the ■want of a similar publication in an English garb has been for some time complained of. To supply the want hero noticed, and at a moderate price, is the object of the present under- taking. The Plates are accompanied by letter-press, containing detailed references to the various objects delineated, the names being set down in English, Latin, and French. But with a view to render them intelligible to a greater number of persons, a running comment on each Plate is given, stating in general terms the uses and purposes which the different objects serve in the animal economy. The drawings are taken on stone by Mr. W. Fairland, and the printing executed by HuUmandel, Graff, and Fairlands.
