Sarlandière was a very active medical writer and first published Anatomie methodique; ou Organographie humaine at Paris in 1830. It has here been translated by William C. Roberts (1810-1873), who founded the New York Infirmary for the Diseases of Women and Children and edited the New York medical gazette.
