Gentlemen:-In reply to your note OF yeslef.
day, requesting my opinion Of the series Of Anat.
omcal Plates OF DR.. Quain and Mr. Wilson,
am glad 10 be able to state, that it is, in my
opinion, the most splendid work Of the kind that
has appeared. It's authors are practised and ex.
cellent anatomsts, and not less informed in the
various relations which that important depart
ment bears to medical science in general. The
plates, in the original, are faithful representa-
lions OF the human frame as exposed on disco.
ton, and are beautifully deineaed.
Such work, executed throughout with the
same care as the Iithogaphic plates which you

RECOMMENDATIONS
PHILADELPHIA, Feb'rY l6, 1S4:

Conference.-The Anatomical Plates OF Quan,
are the best that have been issued of late years
from the English press. They present to the
student great facilities in acquiring knowledge
OF the human structure.
The plates Of the American edition appear to
me 10 be as well and as correctly executed as
those Of the original work.

the subjects they portray, ever offered to the med.

ter the demonstration Of the professor OF anatomy,
there remains any doubt upon their minds as to
the precise location OR structure Of any organ,

The only objection to the work is the expense
Of it, costing as it does upwards Of one hundred
dollars which | understand you intend to re.
move, by offering it reduced price.
You have my best wishes for the success Of
