Excerpt from A d104-Book of Practical Anatomy Since its first appearance, in the year 1827, several editions have appeared, each containing some additions and improvements. The last having been for some time out of print, my Publishers have urgently requested me to prepare this edition, the completion of which has been unavoidably delayed by numer ous other avocations. Since the first appearance of this work numerous Manuals of Anatomy have been published in these as well as in other countries, some of which have been arranged very much after the same plan, others m a more systematic form.
