Translated from the Original German of Dr. ALFRED Von BEnR, and adapted to the use of the English Student, by Jonn Birkett, F.L.S. Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Demonstrator of Anatomy at Guy’s Hospital. 16mo. 10s. 6d. cloth. “ Mr. Birkett has, by the publication of this Hand-book, placed within the reach of English students a useful elementary treatise, which, while it may serve as a Dissector’s Manual, has the peculiar advantage of affording a correct description of the general anatomy of the body, in conjunction with the most prominent facts which have of late years been established respecting the constituents and structural arrangements of the animal tissues. The con- struction of this work is excellent. The matter is well arranged, the index copious, and the descriptions, while they are terse, are, upon the whole, clear, ample, and correct. Mr. Birkett has certainly performed a difficult task in a very able and judicious manner, and we can recommend this Hand-book as a useful and systematic guide to students of anatomy.”’ MEDICAL GAZETTE. “Dr. Von Behr’s object was to produce a descriptive account of the human frame, which should combine the ‘profundity’ of the Germans with the ‘clear summary and agreeable detail’? of the French: in which purpose the Doctor has succeeded, but with a preponderance in favour of the ‘ profundity,’ or minuteness, as people may think. In selecting this work for translation as a student’s companion, Mr. Birkett has added to the explanations of the original, where it seemed requisite, and appended to each section a list of the works that treat more fully of the subject—as the bones, muscles, and so forth. The book will be found a useful vade-mecum to the student, from the method of its arrangement, the minuteness of its particulars, and the fulness of its description. It is to be regarded as a companion to the dissecting-room, or a refresher to the professional man; the technical character of its ac- counts rather seeming to remind, than furnishing a description per se. This, however, is a necessity. Popular descriptions and plates are mere succedanea. ‘The student must bear in mind, that the ‘subject,’ and the subject only, is the thing whence he is to draw his know- ledge. All the numerous anatomical books, of some of which he will find lists in this volume, derive their whole knowledge from the subject, profess to have no other end in view than truly to describe the subject, and owe all their reputation to the truth of their descriptions. Their use will facilitate, but can never supersede the study of nature.””—SPEcTATOR.
