D., Demonstrator of Anatomy in the University of Pennsylvania. In one large and handsome royal 12mo. volume, leather, of 5S2 pages, with 154 illustrations. $2 00. The modifications and additions which this work has received in passing recently through the author's hands, is sufficiently indicated by the fact that it is enlarged by more than one hundred pages, notwithstanding that it is printed in smaller type, and with a greatly enlarged page. So com- plete has the author rendered it, that the editor has found but little to do, except in rearranging it to suit the mode of dissection practised in this country, and in introducing a large number of additional illustrations. Of these, many new ones have been engraved expressly for the work, and the series throughout will be found greatly enhanced in value. The typographical execution of the volume has undergone a like improvement, and in every respect the work is presented as merit- ing an increase of the favor which it has hitherto enjoyed as a sound practical guide to the study of anatomy.
