SAUNDERS is pleased to announce that arrangements have been completed for the publication of an English edition of the world-famous Lehmann medicinische Handatlanten. For scientific accuracy, pictorial beauty, compactness, and cheapness these books surpass any similar volumes ever published. Each volume contains from 50 to 100 Colored Plates, besides numerous other illustrations in the text. These colored plates have been executed by the most skilful German lithographers, in some cases twenty or more impressions being required to obtain the desired result. There is a full and appropriate description of each plate (printed, for convenience, opposite the plate), together with a condensed outline of the subject to which the book is devoted. The same careful and competent editorial supervision will be secured in the English edition as in the originals. The translations will be directed and edited by the leading American specialists in the different subjects. The great advantage of natural pictorial representation is indisputable. For lasting and practical knowledge, one accurate illustration is better than several pages of dry description. These Atlases offer a ready and satisfactory substitute for clinical observation, available only to the residents of large medical centers; and with such persons the requisite variety is seen only after long years of routine hospital service. By reason of their projected universal translation and reproduction, affording international distribution, 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 volumes have already appeared in German, English, French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Danish, Swedish, and Hungarian. While appreciating the value of such colored plates, the profession has heretofore been practically debarred from purchasing similar works because of their extremely high price, made necessary by the limited sale and the enormous expense of production. The very low price of these Atlases will place them within the reach of even the novice in practice. NOW READY. Atlas of Internal Medicine and Clinical Diagnosis. By DR. CHR. JAKOB, of Erlangen.
