OF THE BONES. 



OSTEOLOGIA. 



" The frontispiece represents Galen contemplating the skeleton of a robber 

 who, being killed by a traveller, had his bones picked in two days by vul- 

 tures. This opportunity he mentions as a piece of good fortune, though he 

 had seen another skeleton which was accidentally washed out of a burying 

 place, by the overflowing of a river, besides one which was shown in a public 

 school at Alexandria, which he thought was worth the trouble of any one to 

 go on purpose to study.' 1 '' CIIESELDEX. Osteographia.
