The Harvard University Press yesterday announced that several new books by Harvard faculty members will be on the market within the next few weeks.
Most prominent of those publications is a work of Dr. John Warren '63, Into associate professor of Anntomy in the Harvard Medical School. The edition is entitled "Warren's Handbook of Anatomy" and is especially valuable in as much that it embodies a group of 320 regional dissection illustrations.
This volume is the direct result of Dr. Warren's ambition to do dissection work somewhat differently than is the usual practice. He fulfilled his desire and employed H.F. Aitken to make drawings of his experiments. Dr. Warren died after completing 400 dissections and loft his work to the department of Anatomy. Steps were taken to publish these illustrations and Dr. R.M. Green '02, assistant professor of Applied Anatomy, made this possible by writing a descriptive text for the drawings.

Appendixes present a large store of illuminating documents, hitherto unpublished, from the correspondence of Child and the Danish editor Grunting.
