The study of its anatomy having made us acquainted with 
the structural peculiarities of the foot, it now becomes our duty 
to consider the functions of its several component parts, together 
with their combined action as a whole, in order that thereby we 
may arrive at as complete and comprehensive a knowledge as

Selecting the second of these sub-divisions, as treating of the
