ASYSTEM of HUMAN ANATOMY,
Translated from the Fourth Edition of the French of
H. Cloquet, M.D., Professor of Physiology, and Member
of the Philomatic Society of Paris. With additional notes
and a corrected Nomenclature.

By R. KNOX, M.D. F. R. S.E.

Lecturer on Anatomy and Fellow of the Royal College of

Surgeons in Edinburgh.

" In short this work, which is decidedly the best ana-
tomical system in the original, is now calculated to be not
less useful to the English student; and to him Dr. Knox
has performed an important service, in rendering a work
so perfect generally accessible."—Edinburgh Aled. and
Surg. Journal, No. 98.

"It is hardly necessary to add that Cloquet's work has
been selected by Dr. Knox as an anatomical treatise, than
which nothing superior has yet been offered to the public.
It is, of course, purely descriptive, and, we believe, the
descriptions are scrupulously correct."

Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the
superiority of the French and English plans, there can be
no doubt that the present work offers a more dense and
accurate description of the structure of the huma❑ body,
that can be found in any work of similar size in the Eng-
lish language."—Johnson, No. 21, Fascio, 3, July 1, 1829.
"It has been wittily remarked that every thing suf-
fers from translation except a Bishop.' Cloquet has been
more fortunate in his translator who has executed his task
with much ability and judgment. The style throughout
is concise, yet perspicuous, and the various descriptions are
given with minute but not with tedious accuracy."—
Lancet, 274, Nov. 29, 1828.
" The translation appears to be well executed, and the
circumstance of the work having been deemed worthy of
appearing in an English dress, by an anatomist of Dr.
Knox's known talents and experience in teaching, is one
of the greatest recommendations which can be bestowed
upon it."—Medical Gazette, Feb. 7, 1829.

2. ELEMENTS of GENERAL ANATOMY, being
a general description of the various organs comprising the
human body. By P. A. BECLARD. Translated from
the original French, by R. KNOX, M.D. F.R.S.E.,
Lecturer on Anatomy, &c. In one vol. Svo., 10s. 61

3. A COMPENDIUM of the DISEASES of the
HUMAN EYE; to which is prefixed an account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of that organ, illustrated with
Eighteen Plates, partly coloured. By ALEXANDER
WATSON, F.R.C.S.E., &c. Third Edition, in Svo.,
with Eighteen Engravings, 21a.

" Mr. Watson's work exhibits a systematic and com-
prehensive view of the diseases of the human eye. The
descriptions are short but very clear and distinct ; and as
they are manifestly derived chiefly, if not entirely from
personal experience, they show a talent for observation
and pathological acuteness, by no means common."—
Edinburgh 'Medical and Surgical Journal, No. 96.

" The various diseases are enumerated in a succinct and
intelligible manner, and the engravings afford very accu-
rate representations of the diseases intended to he illustrated.
In a word, they are true to nature."—Lancet, No. 253.
" The descriptions of disease in this Compendium, and
its treatment, are good, and the plates are excellent."—
London Medical Gazette, No. 29.
4. Cheap Series of ANATOMICAL ENGRAVINGS,
beautifully coloured. Publishing in 4to. numbers, at Is.
each. 1. The Bones, copied from the elegant tables of
Sue and Albinus ; 17 numbers complete. —2. The Nerves,
copied from the works of Scarpa, Soemmering, Walther,
Fischer, and Charles Bell ; 14 numbers already published.
—3. The Arteries, copied from the " Tahulm Arteriarum
Corporis Humani." F. Tiedemann. Engraved by Ed-
ward Mitchell, with descriptive letter-press, translated
from the original Latin, with notes, by Robert Knox,
M.D., Lecturer on Anatomy, &c. In 38 numbers complete.
It has long been a subject of regret to the student of
anatomy that anatomical plates of acknowledged correct-
ness were unattainable by reason of their high price.
The publishers hope that the present series will be found
to supply that desideratum, and that they have succeeded
in laying before the profession a set of anatomical plates
which for accuracy and elegance of execution stand un-
rivalled,—they having been reduced from the original by
the valuable eidograph of Professor Wallace, and engraved
by Mr. Mitchell, who has been long known to the pro-
fession as an excellent engraver of anatomical works.

Judging from the degree of approbation with which the
former edition of Dr. Milligan's Celsus was received by the
Royal College of Surgeons and the Honourable the Coln-
patty of Apothecaries, it is hoped the Delphin Index and
other matter added to this edition, will in no inco❑sider-
able degree enhance its value among those who regulate
the course of medical education.

" Celsus may now be perused with the same facility as
Heberden and Sydenham. We need hardly, after this, say
that Dr. Milligan's edition of ("chins ought to become a
classical standard work in the library of every medical
man."—Med. Chirurg. Review, July, 1826.
"It would be difficult to mention a more disinterested
example of the application of medical knowledge and clas-
sical learning, or one for which the student ought to be
more grateful. The text is, throughout correct, to an ex-
traordinary degree. To conclude : this edition of Celsus
is the best which has been published since the original one
of Targa, and it may be justly recommended to the atten-
tion of the student."—Edinburgh Medical and Surgical
Journal, April, 1828.
