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 opaco ? 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.
