    New and much enlarged edition—(Just Issued.) WILSON (ERASMUS), F. R. S. A SYSTEM OF HUMAN ANATOMY, General and Special. A new and re- vised American, from the last and enlarged English Edition. Edited by W H. Gobrecht M U Professor of Anatomy in the Pennsylvania Medical College, &c. Illustrated with three hundred and ninety-seven engravings on wood. In one large and exquisitely printed octavo volume, of over 600 large pages; leather. $3 25. The publishers trust that the well earned reputation so long enjoyed by this work will be more than maintained by the present edition. Besides a very thorough revision by the author, it has been most carefully examined by the editor, and the eflbrts of both have been directed to introducing everything which increa-ed experience in its u.se has suggested as desirable to render it a compete text-book for those seeking to obtain or to renew an acquaintance with Hunlan Anatomy. 1 he amount of additions which it has thus received may be estimated from the fa6t that the present edition contains over one-fourth more matter than the last, rendering a smaller type and an enlarged page requisite to keep the volume within a convenient size. The editor has exercised the utmost caution lo obtain entire accuracy in the text, and has largely increased the number ot illustra- tions, of which there are about one hundred and fifty more in this edition than in the last, thus bringing distinctly before the eye of the student everything of interest or importance. It may be recommended to the student as no less distinguished by its accuracy and clearness of de- scription than by its typographical elegance. The wood-cuts are exquisite.—Brit, and For. Medical Review. An elegant edition of one of the most useful and accurate systems of anatomical science which has been issued from the press The illustrations are really beautiful. In its style the work is extremely concise and intelligible. No one can possibly take up this volume without being struck with the great beauty of its mechanical execution, and the clear- ness of the descriptions which it contains is equally evident. Let students, by all means examine t.ie claims of this work on their notice, before they pur- chase a text-book of the vitally important science which this volume so fully and easily unfolds.— Lancet. We regard it as the best system now extant for students.—Western Lancet. It therefore receives our highest commendation.— Southern Med. and Surg. Journal. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. {JUSt Ismed.) ON DISEASES OF THE SKIN. Fourth and enlarged American, from the last and improved London edition. In one large octavo volume, of 650 pages, extra cloth, $2 75. The writings of Wilson, upon diseases of the skin, are by far the most scientific and practical that have ever been presented to the medical world on this subject. The presentedition isa great improve- ment on all its predecessors. To dwell upon all the great merits and high claims of the work before us, seriatim, would indeed be an agreeable service; it would be a mental homage which we could freely offer, but we should thus occupy an undue amount ot space in this Journal. We will, however, look at some of the more salient points with which it iliounds,and which make iiincompaiauiy superior in excellence to all other treatises on the subject of der- auitology. No mere speculative views are allowed a place in this volume, which, without a doubt, will, for a very long period, be acknowledged as the chief standard work on dermatology. The principles of an enlightened and rational therapeia are introduced on every appropriate occasion.—Am. Jour. Med. Science, Oct. 1857. ALSO, NOW READY, A SERIES OF PLATES ILLUSTRATING WILSON ON DISEASES OF THE EKIN ; consisting of nineteen beautifully executed plates, of which twelve are exquisitely colored, presenting the Normal Anatomy and Pathology of the Skin, and containing accurate re- presentations of about one hundred varieties of disease, most of them the size of nature. Price in cloth $4 25. In beauty of drawing and accuracy and finish of coloring these plates will be found equal to anything of the kind as yet issued in this country. The plates by which this edition is accompanied leave nothing to be desired, so far as excellence of delineation and perfect accuracy of illustration are concerned.—Medico-Chirurgieal Review. Ol these plates it is impossible to speak too highly The representations of the various forms of cutane- ous disease are singularly accurate, and the color- ing exceeds almost anything we have met with in point of delicacy and finish.—Aritii/i ami Foreign Medical Review. We have already expressed our high appreciation of Mr. Wilson’s treatise on Diseases of the Skin. The plates are comprised in a separate volume, which we counsel all those who possess the text to purchase. It is a beautiful specimen of color print- ing, and the representations of the various forms of skin disease are as faithful us is possible in plates of the size.—Boston Med. and Surg. Journal, Aori] 8, 1858. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. ON CONSTITUTIONAL AND HEREDITARY STPHILIS, AND ON SYPHILITIC ERUPTIONS. In one small octavo volume, extra cloth, beautifully printed, with four exquisite colored plates, presenting more than thirty varieties ol syphilitic eruptions. $2 25, BY THE SAME author.
