PHYSIOLOGY, ANATOMY, ETC. 39 



In lecturing on the Skeleton it has been the authors practice, instead 

 of giving a detailed account of the sez>era! parts, to request his 

 students to get up the descriptive anatomy of certain bones, with the 

 aid of some work on osteology. He afterwards tested their acquire- 

 ments by examination, endeavouring to supply deficiencies and 

 correct errors, adding also such information physical, physiologi- 

 cal, pathological, and practical as he had gathered from his own 

 observation and researches, and which was likely to be useful and 

 excite an interest in the subject. This additional information 

 Jorms, in great part, the material of this volume, which is intended 

 to be supplementary to existing works on anatomy. Considerable 

 space has been dez>oted to the description of the joints, because it is 

 less fully given in other works, and because an accurate knowledge 

 of the structure and peculiar form of the joints is essential to a 

 correct knowledge of their movements. The numerous illustrations 

 were all drawn upon stone from nature ; and in most instances, 

 from specimens prepared for the purpose by the author himself. 

 "Bearing at once the stamp of the accomplished scholar, and 

 evidences of the skilful anatomist. We express our admiration of 

 the drawings"- Medical Times and Gazette.
