MR. BROOKES'S CELEBRATED MUSEUM AND

THEATRE OF ANATOMY.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the plea-
sure to announce to the Medical World, that he
has been honoured by the instructions of Joshua Brookes,
Esq., F.R. S., F.L.S., &c. &c., to SELL by AUCTION,
on THURSDAY, the 3d of July, and Twenty following days
(Sunday and Monday always excepted), at the Theatre of
Anatomy, in Blenheim-street, London,
THE ANATOMICAL AND ZOOLOGICAL MU-
SEUM OF THIS LEARNED ANATOMIST.
It includes every description of Anatomical Preparation
calculated for tl •e elucidation of all parts of the human body
and its diseases, both dried and in spirits, with a multitude
OF PATHOLOGICAL SUBJECTS,

comprising Preparations, 111ustnitive of Morbid Anatomy,
on a very extensive scale; Casts and Models of the Gravid
Uterus, taken from individuals who have fallen victims
either during or subsequent to Parturition, demonstrating
almost every variety of presentation of the Fc-4tus, Twins,
&c. Besides which there is au extensive collection of
Foetuses and Casts of ditto, of every period of Utero Gesta-
tion, and every variety of mal-conformation ; in fact this
scientific Itepertorium has acquired its justly extensive re•
patation fl•om the well known acumen displayed by its
enlightened Founder. In addition, but forming the first
part of the stile, the extensive and perfectly unique

COLLECTION OF Z'JOTOMICAL SUBJECTS,
chiefly comprising the Skeletons of almost all the 111s.m-
inolia and Birds, including three Elephants, male and fe-
male, two Hippopotami, two Rhinoceroses, and a Giraffe,
with many splendid 'Vascular Preparations of both classes
of Animals, as well ai some superb Skeletons of Reptiles
and Fishes, injectel specimens, &c. ; a large display of the
rarest Quadrupds, Birds, Reptiles, and Fishes stuffed,
with some Cases of Insects ; and further, the Hippiatrist
or Veterinary Surgeon will find a most interesting display
of the Anatomy and Pathology of the Horse. The Mu-
seum comprehends

UPWARDS OF 3,000 PREPARATIONS,
in glasses, containing a choice selection of various parts of
the human body, likwise a great assortment of deceased
bones, in many of which the morbid affection is very re-
markable. Amongst these, a cranium, brought from
Lima, extensively afflicted with osteitis, is probably unique.
Numerous and uncommonly fine illustrations of the ravages
made by syphilis in the osseous structure of man, the
dreadful results of which are seen in a fine series of crania,
and in most other hones. There is one

INVALUABLE SPECIMEN OF LUXATION
OF THE HEAD,

of the os femoris into the foramen thyroideuru, and from
the ligament= obturas becoming ossified it is formed
into a concave receptacle for its alien tenant.
The whole forming the finest exhibition that ever was
presented to the attention, and for the admiration, of the
medical world ; one which, to the latest period, will re-
flect immortal honour on the zealous and highly gifted in-
dividual who, at an expence of 30,000/., and a sacrifice of
30 years of his life, has accomplished this Herculean task.
The limits of an advertisement necessarily preclude going
into a further detail, hut descriptive Catalogues will be
ready by the 20th of June, and then had at the principal
towns in England, Scotland, and Ireland; at Paris and
Berlin; and of Mr. Robins, Covent Garden, at 2s. 6d.
each, without which no one can he admitted to this Exhi-
bition.
