PREFACE TO REVISED EDITION. 



THE demand for a new edition has afforded an opportunity 

 to thoroughly revise the text and illustrations, and to add such 

 changes of description and nomenclature as have been intro- 

 duced into modern methods of teaching. 



Whenever it seemed necessary or advisable sections have 

 been entirely rewritten,, but the same attention to conciseness and 

 accuracy has been observed as in the former edition. 



The size of the pages has been considerably enlarged and 

 increased in number, and the illustrations increased from 76 to 

 171. Many improved cuts replace those used in the former edi- 

 tion and full-page engraved plates have been inserted in the text 

 where they will be most serviceable. 



In its preparation, the last editions of both Morris and Gray 

 have been freely consulted, so that it can be used with either of 

 these standard works. 



As in the former edition, although prepared particularly 

 for students, sufficient descriptive matter has been added to 

 render it valuable to the busy practitioner, particularly in the 

 sections upon the Viscera, Special Senses, Vascular System, the 

 Nervous System, and Surgical Anatomy. 



Special attention has been given to the anatomy of the brain 

 and nervous system, which will be found to compare favorably 

 with the descriptions in larger works. 



The author has been much gratified to observe the tenacity 

 with which students and physicians have retained the work for 

 reference.
