 greateft Anatomifls we have had ^ and ours being one of a higher degree 

 than the Common fort, and in fo many Particulars nearer approaching 

 the Strudtureof M<««, than any of ihtApel^nd, and it being fo rare and 

 uncommon, it may the more excufe me, if I endeavour to be as particu- 

 lar as I can. But in fome meafure to avoid this Fault , I (hall omit Rio- 

 Ian sfirfl Chapter^ which is but Prsefatory, and begin with thefecond.
