The Work will be comprised in about Fourteen Monthly Parts, Imperial Folio, and an Octavo Volume of Letter-press. Each Part, with the Letter-press, 12s. "In conclusion, we venture to predict, that the accuracy, the originality, the sterling practical usefulness, and, comparatively speaking, the 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 the progress of anatomical science, or in the efficiency and perfection of operative surgery."-Medical Gazette, Jan. 9, 1841.

Second Edition. 1 vol. 8vo, 1000 pages, illustrated by Engravings on Wood, 17. 1s. cloth lettered.

“ Having, during a long series of years, accumulated a mass of important facts, Dr. Davis is entitled to the thanks of established practitioners, and to the gratitude of all the junior members of the Profession, for thus presenting to them, in an agreeable form, the results of an experience which it can be the lot of few, even eminent physicians, to enjoy."— Lancet, Sept. 22, 1832.-Notice of the First Edition.

VOL. I. 8vo, Second Edition. 17.

II. 8vo, ll. is just published.

"We do, however, recommend it very strongly, and we have no hesitation in saying that it will supersede all other works as a Text Book for Lectures, and one of reference for students. It steers a middle course between the superficial brevity of many of our modern works, and the pleonastic and metaphysical jargon of Burdach."-Med. Chir. Review, April 1838.
