Fasciae of the Human Body and Their Relations to the Organs They Envelop

Fifteen of the illustrations show fascial layers as dissected out from parts of cadavers by the author, prepared by a special method of his own, the nature of which he does not divulge. These drawings constitute a real contribution to anatomic illustration. In addition, there are two diagrams and seven illustrations of sections through various parts of the body. There is also a brief text covering forty pages of description, which corresponds fairly well with descriptions of fascias in the standard textbooks of anatomy. The nomenclature throughout is in the Latin form. There are a few mistakes in the Latin form, in the English, and in the application of anatomic terms, which will doubtless be corrected in later editions. The illustrations are beautifully reproduced and the form of the book is attractive.
