/;/ lecturing on the Skeletoit it has been the author^ s practice^ instead 

 of giving a detailed account of the several farts, to request his 

 students to get up the descriptive anatomy of certain bones^ with the 

 aid of some work on osteology. He afterwards tested their acquire- 

 ments by examination, endeavouring to supply deficiencies ajid 

 correct errors, adding also such information —physical, physiologi- 

 cal, pathological, and practical — as he had gathered from his oion 

 observation and researches, and which was likely to be useful and 

 excite an interest in the subject. This additional info7^7?tation 

 forms, in great part, the material of this volume, which is intended 

 to be supplementary to existing works on anatomy. Considerable 

 space has been devoted to the description of the joints, because it is 

 less fully given in other works, and because an accurate knowledge 

 of the structure and peculiar form of the joints is essential to a 

 correct k7iowledge of their movements. The numerous illustrations 



were all drawn upon stone from fiature ; and in most instances, 

 from specimens prepared for the purpose by the aufhor himself
