PREFACE TO THE TWELFTH EDITION. 



A twelfth edition of the Compend having been called for, the 

 author has taken the opportunity to revise some of the paragraphs 

 and to add some new material which it is hoped will increase its 

 usefulness to the student. While many of the changes that have 

 been made will be found distributed throughout the body of the 

 work, the principal changes will be found in the section relating 

 to the cranial nerves. In this section, the newer views regarding 

 the organ and relation of the various cranial nerves are briefly 

 presented. 



That the Compend may continue to aid the student for whom 

 it was primarily written is the wish of 



ALBERT P. BRUBAKER.
