Gray's Anatomy - Descriptive and Surgical by Henry Gray

Gray's Anatomy is an English-language human anatomy textbook originally written by Henry Gray.The book is widely regarded as an extremely influential work on the subject, and has continued to be revised and republished from its initial publication in 1858 to the present day.The first edition of the book was called Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical, but its name is commonly shortened to, and later editions are titled, Gray's Anatomy. After publication in the United Kingdom in 1858, the book was also released in the United States the following year.Gray released a second edition in the UK in 1860, but died shortly after its publication, at the age of 34, having contracted smallpox while treating his nephew (who survived). Work on his much-praised book has continued by others to the present day (www.wikipedia.org).
