REVIEW. 109 



think it quite right to dissect (separate) dead 

 human bodies, if by so doing they can learn 

 how to cure or prevent diseases of the living. 

 Not very often to be sure ; and only the bodies 

 of criminals, such as have no friends, rela- 

 tives, &c. 



In making this little book, it is my object to 

 teach you something of both Anatomy and 

 Physiology. I have yet done but very little, 

 and what I have done, has been chiefly in 

 Anatomy. 



The remaining chapters of this book will 

 embrace much more of Physiology. It will 

 consequently be a little more difficult to under- 

 stand it ; but it will also be much more pleas- 

 ant, when once understood. There are yet 

 many wonderful things to be known about 

 your bodies. 



USES OF BONES. Before I close this chap- 

 ter, you must allow me just to say that bones 

 are often used in the arts. Ivory is nothing 

 but bone the teeth of the elephant. The 

 bones of man, so far as I know, have not been 

 used in any of the arts.
