    SAUNDERS’ MEDICAL HAND-ATLASES. The series of books included under this title are aulhorized 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, besides numer- ous illustrations in the text. The colored plates have been execuled by the most skilful German lithographers, in some cases more than twenty im- pressions being required to obtain the desired result. Each plate is accom- panied by a full and appropriate description, and each book contains a Con- densed 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. Such Ob- servation, of course, is available only to the residents in large medical Centers; and even then the requisite variety is seen only after long years of routine hospital work. T.o those unable to attend important clinics these books will be absolutely indispensable, as presenting in a complete and con- venient form the most accurate reproductions of clinical work, interpreted by the n'iost competent of clinical teachers. 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 a limited sale and an enormous expense of production. Now, however, by reason of their pro- jected universal translation and reproduction, affording international dis- tribution, 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 great 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, Dutch, Japanese, Danish, Swedish, Roumanian, Bohemian, and Hungarian. The same careful and competent editorial supervision has been secured in »he English edition as in the Originals. The translations have been edited by the leading American specialists in the different sub- t size (5 x 7yi inches), 22101333650 ck cover.) iolored Plates
