PREFACE. 



I\ preparing this edition of Ellis's " Demonstrations of 

 Anatomy," it has been my first care to preserve those 

 features for which the book has been so justly valued in 

 the past, and not to interfere with its general style and 



character. 



The advances in the knowledge of anatomy during recent 

 years and the present order of teaching have, however, 

 necessitated many changes. 



The matter has been altogether re-arranged, and it now 

 follows the ordinary course of dissection as taken by students, 

 beginning with the simpler anatomy of the upper and lower 

 limbs and ending with the more complex parts of the head 

 and neck and the organs contained therein. 



In some places old matter has been taken away, and in 

 many parts new work has been brought in, especially in those 

 dealing with the different viscera. In this connection I wish 

 to acknowledge the debt I owe to the works, amongst others, 

 of Birmingham, Cunningham, Symington, Keith, Dixon, 

 Elliot Smith, Berry, Jonnesco, Young and Robinson. 



Sixty-two illustrations have been added, twenty-seven of 

 them in colours, and amongst the subjects of these latter are 

 those of many of the bones showing the attachments of t the 

 muscles. Forty -eight old illustrations have been reproduced 

 in colour, and several of the blocks have been retouched.
