Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Descriptive Catalogue of the New Sydenham Society's Atlas of Portraits of Diseases of the Skin, Vol. 1
Nearly four thousand copies of this Atlas are now in the hands of the profession, and have been distributed to almost all parts of the world. The number published probably exceeds nearly tenfold that of any other large Atlas of Dermatology, and the Council has felt that in this fact is to be found a very strong motive for care and zeal in perfecting it. A scheme has been prepared under which it is hoped that the work may be completed in about five years, or that at least illustrations of all the more important skin diseases will then have been included. It is clear that, if varieties are comprised, the work is one which admits of indefinite extension, and whether or not at the end of that period it should receive further additions will probably be a matter for the decision of the members at large.
