Lebert's work in this set covers a much wider range than that of Cruveilhier (see No. 1479) or Carswell (see No. 1501) and includes many examples of macroscopic and microscopic anatomy and pathology together with many illustrations of gross specimens. The text volumes provide detailed descriptions of both gross pathology and micropathology, the treatment of some plates amounting to short treatises in themselves. A brief history of pathology dating from the sixteenth century is also included. At the beginning of each atlas volume is a section which conveniently lists and describes each plate. The 210 hand-colored copper engravings are of superb quality and are reminders of the excellence of medical illustration during the nineteenth century.
