Preface. 



Nearly every Student of Anatomy and every Practitioner feels the need 

 of some book which shall, for the former, serve as a supplement to dissection 

 and assist in the stud}' of prepared anatomical specimens and which , for the 

 latter who cannot spare the time for the study of specimens or whose work will 

 not countenance any contact with the cadaver, shall present the regional im- 

 portant structures. 



Such a book must present Anatomical data by numerous and good 

 illustrations, the important details depicted must be presented in a S3'stematic, 

 clear, and practical manner. For such merits and to meet these requirements 

 this English Version has been prepared; it is hoped, therefore, that this book 

 will serve as a means of revision among Students, as a valuable reference both 

 of applied Anatomy to the Practitioner, and as a means of quickening the 

 weakening memories of the Surgeon. 



The selection of the Plates and their extent has been determined by 

 their relative clinical importance; special attention has been directed to those 

 regions which have, of recent years, become of increased interest to the Physician 

 and Surgeon ; so that those portions of Anatom}' which are likely to be of actual 

 service to the Student in his subsequent study, and to the Practitioner in his 

 clinical work, form the basis of each plate. 



Lithographic Plates for the finer and Wood-cuts for the coarser detail, 

 when coloured, are imdoubtedly the best means of illustrating Anatomy and 

 Histology; because by these methods the exact relations and distinctness of 

 different structures in the various planes are most admirably shewn. 



This book cannot replace, and is not intended to replace, the Textbook 



of Anatomy, but is of great use with the more comprehensive Anatomical 



Works and Atlases.
