PREFACE TO 

 THE SEVENTH EDITION 



IN this edition the general text has been revised, many new 

 figures, representing dissections, sections and radiographs, 

 have been introduced. The instructions for dissection have 

 been printed in a distinctive indented type ; in many cases 

 they have been rewritten and in some cases amplified. 



The latter changes, together with the additional figures, 

 have caused so much increase of size that it has been deemed 

 advisable to publish the book in three volumes. Vol. I. : 

 Superior Extremity and Inferior Extremity ; Vol. II. : Thorax 

 and Abdomen ; Vol. III. : Head and Neck. 



As was the case in previous editions, I am indebted to 

 Dr. E. B. Jamieson for many suggestions, for his invaluable 

 help in the revision of the text and for the preparation of 

 the Index. 



My thanks are due to Dr. Robert Knox, to Major A. W. 

 Pirie and to Major T. Rankin for the use of radiographs, 

 which they very kindly prepared for me, and to Mr. J. T. 

 Murray for the new drawings of sections and dissections.
