HENRY C. SLEIGHT

PROPOSES TO PUBLISH BY SUBSCRIPTION AN AMERICAN TRANSLATION

CP THE

MANUAL

GENERAL, DESCRIPTIVE, AND PATHOLOGICAL

ANATOMY,

BY

J. F. MECKEL,

Professor of Anatomy in the University at Haile.

Professor Breschet's preface to the French translation states that â€œ for a long time we have wanted a work which comprised all the facts of General, Descriptive, and Pathological Anatomy and Physiology. A work of this character required a knowledge as extensive as it was profound, and has been ably executed by Prof. Meckel.â€

The translation will be from the French, including the valuable notes of Breschet and Jourdan, revised from the original German, with notes, by A. Sidney Doane, A. M. M. D.

Subjoined are the opinions of some of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of the United States, in regard to the merits of the original :

Dear Sir, Boston, Sept. 10, 1830.

I am happy to learn that you propose to translate into English the Anatomy of Prof Meckel. This book has been in my hands for some years ; and I have been so much gratified with its character as a scientific work, that I proposed to Prof G. to translate it, and offered him such aid as I was able to afford him. As you are about to present it to our profession in the English language, I shall consider myself discharged from the duty of bringing it forward, and shall very cordially unite with you in making known its merits to the American public. I am very faithfully yours, J. C. WARREN,

Prof, of Anat. and Surg. in Harvard UnCambridge, Mass.

Dr. Doane.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

Philadelphia^ Sept. 30, 1830,

It gives us pleasure to learn the intention of publishing an American version of the Manual of General, Descriptive, and Pathological Anatomy of J. F. Meckel, Prof of Anatomy in the University at Halle. A frequent reference to this work has assured us fully of its superior character as an exact, methodical, and highly scientific production, evidently sustained by an immense quantity of practical information on the part of its author. We have always considered it as an excellent digest of the present state of Anatomy, and shall be glad to find so instructive a guide put within the reach of the medical men of the United States. PHILIP S. PHYSICK, M. D.

Prof, of Anat. in the University of Pennsylvania.

W. E. HORNER, M. D,,

Adj. Prof, of Anatomy.

A. Sidney Doane, M. D.

Extract of a letter from Benj. H. Coates, Ã†. D., dated

Philadelphia, JVov. 5, 1830.

From the reputation of M. Meckel for learning, practical skill, and a philosophical mind, a work of the very first class might be depended upon with safety, from the fact of its coming from his hands. Yet for the purpose of a more particular judgment, I referred to the French translation, and find it every way worthy of his acknowleged character. It is precisely such a work, combining the facts which have been accumulating for hundreds of years with modern philosophical views, as was best calculated to give a connected view of the present state of anatomical knowledge, and to fill a gap very much felt in the medical literature of America.

Dr. a. S. Doane.

Dear Doctor, JVeio York, Oct. 20, 1830.

I am pleased to learn that you intend to favor the lovers of Anatomy with an English translation of Prof Meckel's valuable work on General, Descriptive, and Pathological Anatomy. For some years past I have been in the habit of referring to this work, and have admired it for accuracy and minuteness. The students and practitioners of America will be under great obligations to you for the treat you are about to give them.

My best wishes attend the undertaking, and believe me to be yours very faithfully, VALENTINE MOTT,

Prof, of Surg. in Col. of Physicians, N. York.

Dr. Doane.

JYcÃ®v York, Jfov. 9, 1830.

I consider the Anatomy of Meckel as the best treatise on General, Descriptive, and Pathological Anatomy that has ever been written, and have no doubt that the translation and publication of it in this country will greatly advance our knowledge of this science.

ALEX. H. STEVENS, M. D.,

Prof, of Surg. in the Col. of Physicians, N. York.

Dr. a. S. Doane,

PROSPECTUS.

Ul

Sir, Col. of Physicians and Surgeons, JYew York, Oct. 19,

I was pleased to learn that it is your intention to prepare and print a translation of Meckel's Anatomy. It is a work which holds a higher place in my estimation than any other treatise on the same' subject with which I am acquainted. This opinion of its merits inducing me to make the book one of frequent reference for the pupils of this University, its publication in Enghsh wall confer a favor on them by aiding their researches. Permit me however to caution you against the numerous errors, doubtless of haste or of the press, which may be found in the French translation. These mistakes are sometimes important, and to avoid them it will be necessary to compare your version with the original or with some other good authority.

With my best wishes for your success, I remain yours respectfully,

J. AUG. SMITH.

Dr. Doane.

Prof, of Anat. and Physiology in Col. of Physicians, N. York.

Dear Sir, Washmgton City, D. C.,Aug. 2, 1830.

I am highly gratified to learn that you are translating from the French the Anatomy of J. F. Meckel.

The work is one of great value, and should be in the hands of every professor and student of Anatomy in the United States.

It Avill prove a valuable acquisition to the profession of our country, I have no doubt. THOMAS SEWALL, M. D.

Prof, of Anat. and Physiol., Columb. Col.

A. S. Doane, M. D.

Dear Sir, Baltimore, JVov. 25, 1830.

I am gratified to learn that you design to furnish the American pubhc with a translation of Meckel's standard work, the Manual of General, Descriptive, and Pathological Anatomy. The merits of the work have beeir known to me for some years. In no work are the facts which constitute the science of Human Anatomy embodied Avith more judgment. When faithfully translated, it should be in the hands of every practitioner and pupil of medicine.

You have my best wishes for your success.

Very respectfully yours,

N. R. SMITH,

Prof, of Surg. in Ihe Un. of Maryland, at Baltimore

Sidney Doane, M. D.
