318 APPENDIX. 



LECTURE XI. 



The structure and functions of the brain and nervous 

 system in man and animals ; together with an explanation 

 of the theory of the mental faculties, as ascertained by the 

 ancient metaphysicians ; also of the physiognomical system 

 of Lavater, and the phrenological doctrines as promulgated 

 by the late Drs. Gall and Spurzheim. 



lecture x. 



The uses and powers of the organs of locomotion in 

 different orders of animals ; i. e. the anatomy of the muscu- 

 lar system — strength of man and animals — advantages aris- 

 ing from gymnastic exercises — dancing, &c. 



LECTURE XI. 



The structure and physiology of the organs of procrea- 

 tion, in the human species, quadrupeds, birds, and reptiles 

 of both sexes — reproduction of the species in animals and 

 plants — duration of pregnancy in the human female, and 

 the lower animals— Can protracted pregnancy ever occur ? 

 — importance of this subject in a medico-legal point of view 

 — decision of this question — Conclusion of the Course. 



The whole of the above Course forms a familiar but com- 

 prehensive view of the Anatomical, Physiological, and 

 mechanical formation of the Human Body, together with a 

 comparison of the structure of quadrupeds, birds, fishes, 

 and reptiles, which cannot fail to prove highly interesting to 

 the Philosopher, Medical Student, and Practitioner, as well 

 as to the general Student of the Arts and Sciences ; and 

 (with the exception of Lecture XI.) there is nothing ex- 

 hibited or expressed that would preclude the attendance of 

 Ladies, whose company is respectfully solicited. 



Professor Dewhurst begs to observe that the Lectures 

 numbered n. in. iv. v. ix. xi. in the above Syllabus may 

 be condensed, if required, into four Lectures. However, 

 should it be considerable to enter more comprehensively into 

 the subject, they should be delivered in the order above 

 mentioned.
