COMPOSITION. 



INORGANIC BODIES. 



L1TING BODIES. 



Sometimes simple. 



Karely formed of more than

 but not of being restored. 



LAWS WHICH GOVERN THEM.

Entirely submissive to the 

 laws of attraction and 

 chemical affinity. 



Partly submissive to attrac-

ANATOMY, 



to dissect.) 



Divisions. The world of life being divided into two 

 great departments, vegetable and animal, the beings of 

 each, when examined by dissection, cause the division of 

 Anatomy into 



1. Vegetable Anatomy, or Phytotomy. 



2. Animal Anatomy or Zootomy. 



Animal Anatomy is divided into 



1. Human Anatomy. 



2. Comparative Anatomy.
