British Masters of Medicine

some months ago published a series of Illustrations of Regional Anatomy of the human body, exclusive of the limbs. This Journal, in reviewing this work, expressed regret that the limbs had not been included in what was otherwise an admirable work. This defect has now been remedied by the present publication of two new parts to illustrate their dissection. We can add nothing further to our notice of the first issued parts, that they are clear and readily understood, as well as being extremely accurate, as all Dr. Jamison's work is. The illustrations should have as an extensive circulation amongst students as the other parts have enjoyed, and will form an invaluable help in revision, and in the evening study of anatomy away from the dissecting-room.

It has been considerably altered, but all to the benefit of the reader. This review would not be complete without mention of the illustrations. The radiograms, twenty-four in number, reach the highest possible standard, and are an indispensable addition to the modern textbook. The twenty-five other illustrations are of equal standard, and are carefully chosen to suit the letterpress.
