London, Burgess and Hill, 1826.

From The Medico-chirurgical Review, 1827, "These plates are intended to explain the relative position of the Arteries, in respect to the surrounding parts, and the Organs to be met with in such operations, both externally and internally to their sheaths.  No. 1, containing three plates of the Anatomy of the Neck. No. 3, containing Plate V. Supplementary to No. 2, of the Axilla; Plate VI. Dissections 1, 2, 3, 4, and Plate VII. Dissections 1, 2. Comprising the Anatomy of the superior extremity, bend of the fore Arm and Hand.  By G.D. Dermott, M.R.C.S. and Lecturer on Anatomy... These Plates are highly creditable to Mr. Dermott.  The surgical anatomy of the neck and upper extremity, and the relative position of arteries, veins, and nerves to each other, are respresented with clearness and accuracy.  We think that the work will prove highly useful to the young surgeon, and to him we freely recommend it." p. 633.
