    THE SURGICAL WORKS OF SIR ASTLEY COOPER, LEA & BLANCHARD have hqw completed the last volume of the illustrated works of Sir Astley Cooper. They form an elegant series; the works on Hernia, the Testis, the Thymus Gland and the Breast, being printed, illustrated and bound to match, in imperial octavo with numerous LITHOGRAPHIC PLATES, while the Treatise on Dislocations is in a neat medium octavo form, with NUMEROUS WOOD CUTS similar to the last London edition. SIR ASTLEY COOPER ON HERNIA, II'/*ilh One Hundred and Thirty Figures in Lithography* THE ANATOMY AND SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ABDOMINAL HERNIA. By Sir ASTLEY COOPER, Bart. Edited by C.

This important work of Sir Astley is printed from the authorized second edition, published in London, in large super-royat folio, and edited by his nephew, Professor Key. It contains all the Plates and all the Letterpress— there are no omissions, interpolations, or modifications—it is the complete work in One Large Imperial Octavo Volume. With over 130 Figures on 26 Plates, and over 400 Large Pages of Letterpress. The correctness of the Plates is guaranteed by a revision and close examination under the eye of a distin¬ guished Surgeon of this city. ANOTHER VOLUME OF THE SERIES CONTAINS HIS TREATISE 0M THE STRUCTURE AND DISEASES OF THE TESTIS. Illustrated by 1*0 Figures. From the Second London Edition. BY BRANSBY B. COOPER, ESQ.

COOPER ON FRACTURES AND DISLOCATIONS, WITH NUMEROUS WOOD-CUTS. A TREATISE ON DISLOCATIONS AND FRACTURES OF THE JOINTS. Bv Sir ASTLEY COOPER, Bart., F. R. S., Sergeant Surgeon to the King, &c. A NEW EDITION MUCH ENLARGED ; Edited by BRANSBY COOPER, F. R. S., Surgeon to Guy’s Hospital. WITH ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS FROM Professor JOHN C. WARREN, of Boston. With numerous engravings on wood, after designs by Bagg, a memoir and a splendid portrait of Sir Astley. In one octavo volume. The peculiar value of this, as of all of Sir Astley Cooper’s works, consists in its eminently practical charac¬ ter. His nephew, Bransby B. Cooper, from his own experience, has added a number of cases. Besides this, Sir Astley left behind him very considerable additions in MS. for the express purpose of being introduced into this edition. The volume is embellished with ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE WOOD CUTS, and contains the history of no less than three hundred and sixty-one cases, thus embodying the records of a life of practice of the Author and his various editors. There are also additional Observations from notes fur¬ nished by John C. Warren, M. D., the Professor of Anatomy and Surgery in Harvard University. “ After the fiat of the profession, it would be absurd in us to eulogize Sir Astley Cooper’s Work on Fractures and Dislocations. It is a national one, and will probably subsist as long as English Surgery,”—Medico-Chi- rurgical Review.
