CHRONOLOGICAL TABLE. 
The table of anatomists and physiologists from 
1500 is given for the purpose of showing how large 
a number of brains have been occupied in finding out 
what our bodily organization is, and in the collateral 
column how many brains have been occupied in 
finding out methods of investigation which have come 
as aid, in explaining ourselves. It may help the realisa- 
tion of the meaning of such an expression as “ There 
are many things we do know,” being something 
different in significance from the answer of a school- 
boy, “Don’t know, Sir,” to a question say such as 
what is the aorist of opaw ? or, what is the capital town 
of Northamptonshire? The table is based, with 
modifications, on one of Professor McKendrick’s. In 
the latter part it is meant to be suggestive rather 
than complete.
