SAUNDERS' MEDICAL HAND-ATLASES. THE series of books included under this title consists of authorized translations into English of the world-famous Lehmann Medicinische Handatlanten, which for scientific accuracy, pictorial beauty, compactness, and cheapness surpass any similar volumes ever published. Each volume contains from 50 to 100 colored plates, executed by the most skilful German lithographers, besides numerous illustrations in the text. There is a full and appropriate description of each plate, and each book contains a condensed but adequate outline of the subject to which it is devoted. One of the most valuable features of these atlases is that they offer a ready and satisfactory substitute for clinical observation. To those unable to attend important clinics these books will be absolutely indispensable. In planning this series of books arrangements were made with the representative publishers in the chief medical centers of the world for the publication of translations of the atlases into different languages, the lithographic plates for all these editions being made in Germany, where work of this kind has been brought to the greatest perfection. The expense of making the plates being shared by the various publishers, the cost to each one was materially reduced. Thus by reason of their universal translation and reproduction, the publishers have been enabled to secure for these atlases the best artistic and professional talent, to produce them in the most elegant style, and yet to offer them at a price heretofore unapproached in cheapness. The success of the undertaking is demonstrated by the fact that the volumes have already appeared in thirteen different languages-German, English, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Roumanian, Bohemian, and Hungarian. In view of the striking success of these works, Mr. Saunders has contracted with the publisher of the original German edition for one hundred thousand copies of the atlases. In consideration of this enormous undertaking the publisher has been enabled to prepare and furnish special additional colored plates, making the series even handsomer and more complete than was originally intended. As an indication of the practical value of the atlases and of the favor with which they have been received, it should be noted that the Medical Department of the U. S. Army has adopted the "Atlas of Operative Surgery" as its standard, and has ordered the book in large quantities for distribution to the various regiments and army posts. The same careful and competent editorial supervision has been secured in the English edition as in the originals, the translations being edited by the leading American specialists in the different subjects.
