Excerpt from Elements of Human Anatomy: General, Descriptive, and Practical

IN adding another to the numerous list of books on anatomy already before the profession, the author claims no credit beyond that of a common observer, whose experience, in the dissecting room and amphitheatre, has suggested what he believes to be a slight improvement on the plan pursued by the majority of writers on this branch of physico-medical science. This improvement con sists, in the first place, in the union of general, descriptive, and practical anatomy in the same volume; the intention being to render it unnecessary, on the part of the student just entering upon the study, to provide himself with separate books on these different branches; secondly, in the arrangement of the section devoted to practical anatomy so as to secure the greatest possible economy of material; and lastly, in the substitution of English for Latin terms, wherever this appeared to be practicable and judicious.
