    QUAY (HENRY), F.R.S., Lecturer on Anatomy nt St. George's Hospital, London. ANATOMY, DESCRIPTIVE AND SURGICAL. The Drawings by H. V. Carter, M. D., late Demonstrator on Anatomy at St. George's Hospital; the Disseo- tions jointly by the Author and Dr. Carter. A new American, from the fifth enlarged and improved London edition. In one magnificent imperial octavo volume, of nearly P10 pages, with 4fi5 large and elaborate engravings on wood. Price in cloth, $6 00; lea- ther, raised bands, $7 00. (Just Issued.) The author has endeavored in this work to cover a more extended range of subjects than is oub- tomary in the ordinary text-books, by giving not only the details necessary for the student, but also the application of those details in the practice of medicine and surgery, thus rendering it both a guide for the learner, and an admirable work of reference for the active practitioner. The en- gravings form a special feature in the work, many of them being the size of nature, nearly all original, and having the names of the various parts printed on the body of the cut, in place of figures of reference, with descriptions at the foot. They thus form a complete and splendid series, which will greatly assist the student in obtaining a clear idea of Anatomy, and will also serve to refresh the memory of those who may find in the exigencies of practice the necessity of recalling the details of the dissecting room; while combining, as it does, a complete Atlas of Anatomy, with a thorough treatise on systematic, descriptive, and applied Anatomy, the work will be found of BBBential use to all physicians who receive students in their offices, relieving both preceptor and pupil of much labor in laying the groundwork of a thorough medical education. Notwithstanding the enlargement of this edition, it has been kept at its former very moderate price, rendering it one of the cheapest works now before the profession.

The object of this work is to present to the anatomical student a clear and concise description of that which he is expected to observe in an ordinary couise of dissections. The author has endeavored to omit unnecessary details, and to present the subject in the form which many years' experience has shown him to be the most convenient and intelligible to the 6tudent. In the revision of the present edition, he has sedulously labored to render the volume more worthy of the favor with which it has heretofore been received. HORNER'S SPECIAL AKATOMT AND HISTOLOGY.
