Excerpt from Potter's Compend of Human Anatomy

The twenty years which have elapsed Since this compend was first issued have brought many changes of nomenclature and description into the teaching of Anatomy. The present edition has been entirely te-written and brought into harmony with the latest text-books on this subject. The text has been expanded wherever greater detail seemed desirable, but in so doing the condensed form of statement heretofore adopted has been carefully followed. The total number of illustrations has been increased from 117 to 138, and many of the cuts used in former editions have been replaced by newer ones. The Tables and Plates, heretofore published in an appendix, have been thoroughly revised, and are now placed in their natural positions in the text. These changes have increased the size of the volume by 82 pages, and have made it practically a new book, which the author hopes will receive a continu ance of the favor heretofore extended to the previous editions.

Excerpt from Potter's Compend of Human Anatomy

After many years of wandering in the embryological minutiae of "transcendental anatomy," it has at last become apparent to most teachers and examiners in anatomy that the only kind of anatomy that could be of any practical value to a physician or surgeon, as such, is the anatomy that can be actually seen and handled. Consequently in this text, details of embryology, histology, and physiology have been largely left to the textbooks dealing with those subjects, in order that gross human anatomy might be the more thoroughly explained.

While all of "the recognized authorities" and the publications of the various anatomical associations have been freely consulted, these descriptions have been based entirely on the actual facts to be found in the human body and are not dominated by any one single authority. The many new discoveries and the changes in teaching methods that have been made in recent years, have made it necessary to make so many additions and changes in the text that the entire work had to be rewritten. Parts of the nomenclature of the German Anatomical Society are now being used so universally, that it became necessary to include it, in its entirety, in the Latin form. However, since comparative anatomy has been almost entirely ignored in the B. N. A., and as so many of its terms are not only inconsistent but also evidence personality rather than broad anatomical principles, it seems certain that it still requires much revision if it is to endure; therefore while the B. N. A. terms are given in the Latin form, only such of them as seem entitled to survival are given in the English form in preference to the older regular terms.

It is confidently hoped that the student will find these descriptions not only accurate and up-to-date, but intelligible as well.
