D., ADJUNCT PROFESSOR OP THE INSTITUTES AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, ONE OF THE PHYSICIANS TO THE PHILADELPHIA ALMS HOUSE INFIRMARY, &c., &c. SIR, I have ventured to inscribe this work with your name, because I feel well assured that no undertaking which is calculated to promote the cause of medical improvement, will be viewed with indifference by so ardent a votary as yourself. I therefore respectfully dedicate these pages to you, as a testimony of the high estimation in which I regard your talents and acquirements, and of my sense of your valuable labors in the advancement of Anatomical, Physiological, and Pathological knowledge, effected not less by the eloquence of your public lectures, to which I have listened with pleasure, than by the power of your pen. Long may you continue to pursue the career of professional usefulness in which you have already attained to such conspicuous eminence ; ‘and to enrich the literature of our science with the results of your ample experience, and the suggestions of your enlightened understanding. I am, Sir, With great respect, Your obedient servant, WILLIAM C. ROBERTS. ♦ I I have perfectly satisfied myself that a knowledge of the Science of Anatomy, in all its parts, and even in its details, may be acquired in fifteen lessons. If such a conviction were to be received as a recommendation of the method by which I have endeavored to attain that end, and which is contained in a certain number of tables, I could entertain no doubt as to the success of my labors ; but to have taught quickly, is not alone sufficient: the merit is to have taught well, and upon that point it does not become me to express an opinion. lam limited to an exposition of the means of which I have availed myself to attain my object, which is to render the study of that science much easier than it has hitherto been. Men of deserved celebrity have encouraged me with their approbation, and have emboldened me to prosecute an undertaking, of the difficulty of which, they who are content with mere superficial examination, or who glance only at the inconsiderable number of engravings by which the whole science of Anatomy, or human Organography, is herein represented, can form no idea. But it will be appreciated by those who are lovers of clearness and precision, and who are desirous of seeing much matter comprised in few words. In the composition of the tables as 1 now offer them I have been led into numerous anatomical investigations, have long and deeply meditated, and have, moreover, spent ’two years of assiduous labor in the correction and perfection of my work. Each organ therein represented has been drawn from nature, after its more ordinary configuration had been established, and the accuracy of anatomists, ancient or modern, tested and verified. On entering upon a task of such importance, I naturally look back to the condition in which, previous to our own times, Anatomy had been placed; and I examined the impediments by which the study of man’s organization was prevented from becoming an essential part of his education; and Avhat, therefore, could be the obstacles which induced him to neglect the acquisition of a knowledge of Physiology, the science of the vital functions, and without which, man, alike in his political institutions, and in his precepts of morals and philosophy, will continually be led astray. Whoever, indeed, eno-ao-es in the consideration of subjects which relate to the wants or the happiness of man, should be familiar with his or- ganization ; this is the chief requisite, and it is owing to their ignorance of this branch of knowledge, that Rosseau, Locke, Plato, Helvetius, and Condillac himself, committed such serious errors. I have convinced myself that these obstacles consist principally in the lengtffof time which is needed to understand the details of the science, and the difficulty of retaining and classifying in the memory, the numerous objects it in- cludes. It is the general opinion, that in acquiring a thorough knowledge of Anatomy, two years of assiduity must be spent. Who, then, un- less he devotes himself to the profession of medicine, can employ so considerable a portion of the period of time allotted to his education, in the study of this particular branch'? and who, on the other hand, would refuse to become acquainted with a science so useful as that of his own or- ganization, if he require for that purpose, fifteen sessions only, each of two hours duration ? Upon this subject I shall now enter into some fur- ther details. * 4 |l The first glance tells us how methodical such an arrangement is, and how, by it, things are signified in a very few words; for example, the term occipito-cufaneifrontal, suggests the idea of the extent of a muscle which goes from the to the forehead ; set forth its places of insertion, by the one end into the occipital bone, and by the other into the integuments which lie over the frontal bone; the terminal word showing that it lies chiefly in the region of the forehead, and also that its use is to move the skin of that part. How many circumstances are thus indicated by a single denomination ! In the third section of the table, is contained the name given to each muscle according to its form, or ! situation; and the fourth, lastly, contains the name which it obtains in reference to its uses, or its functions. I have so contrived it, that in order to understand anatomical authors, the old name has been retained in one or other of these three sections. | From the preceding remarks it will appear, that three denominations are sufficient to form a complete history of each muscle, and to furnish an accurate idea of every thing about it which it is of importance to notice : whilst, in works upon the science, a whole page is often filled with the description of a single muscle ; hence, by ray method, there is effected both a saving of time, and of the labor ofcomprehension. What then alone is wanting to fix the remembrance of that muscle indelibly on the memory ? ocular inspection ! To supply this want, in the absence of human bodies, or of casts or models in pasteboard, wax, or plaster, I have conjoined engravings to my tables, with numbers upon the one which refer to the other ; and where natural or artificial objects, intended to promote the study of anatomy, are arranged beneath the eye of either the pupil or the practitioner, these engravings may serve him as guides, and material] y facilitate his researches. All the figures of which4the plates consist, have been drawn with perfect fidelity from nature ; the muscles are arranged in regions, and ultimately are all collected in representations of the com- plete human frame. The AESTHESIOGRAPHY is exhibited in a single table, without regular sectional divisions, but consisting of links that connect all the parts which have a mutual dependence on each other. In it are detailed, with all possible precision, all the organs which compose the apparatuses of the five senses, as well as the functions they are intended to perform, SPLANCHNOGRAPHY, and DIACRISIOGRAPHY, which is in a measure an appendix to it, are represented in two tables. In the first, are delineated the viscera contained in the cranio-vertebral cavity, viz. the brain and the spinal marrow; those which are enclosed within the thorax, viz. the vocal and respiratory organs, and the central organ of the circulation; those, lastly, which are enclosed within the abdomen, the digestive, urinary and genital organs of either sex. DIACRISIOGRAPHY, which is naturally related to the viscera, because the secretory apparatuses of which it treats include the particu- lar organs of nutrition, forms, with splanchnography, a complete detail of the circumscribed organs, or those which are disposed in sets or appa- tuses. We next arrive at the organic systems, consisting of the canals which ramify all over the body, in which circulate the nutritive juices, and of others which contain the conducting material of sensibility and motion ; these systems constitute ANGEIOGRAPHY and NEUROGRAPHY. The first is represented in three tables, one of which exhibits the entire arterial system of the body, both supra and infra-diaphragmatic, in me- thodical order, so that every trunk, branch, or twig, receives a compound name, derived from the place whence it proceeded, and from that to which it goes. For example; the first branch of the aortic trunk carries the blood into the substance of the heart, and is consequently denominated aorto- cardiac ; this branch divides into two smaller branches, which are the anterior cardiac and the posterior cardiac. The anterior gives off three twigs, which are the right car diaco-auricular, the right cardiaco-ventricular, and the anterior and posterior inter-cardiac arteries. From the posterior go off the left anterior cardiaco-ventricular, and the left posterior cardiaco-ventricidar arteries. The aorta next gives off the brachio- cephalic trunk, which in my tables is with greater precision termed the aorto-post-clavi-trachelian artery, whence proceed branches, which, when as high up as the clavicle, all begin by the word sub-clavi, and end in the name of the part to which they pass. When they have reached the heighth of the cervical vertebrae, these branches begin to assume the appellation trachelo, and so on ; being thus, by their names, always linked with one another, and also with the places at which they terminate, and from whence they set out. By this methodical arrangement, the origin, course, and situation of the arteries is always kept in view ; all those which are of any importance whatever, have received an appellation, whilst the former name of each vessel which possessed one, is retained as a memento, and follows the systematic one in a parenthesis. The second table traces out the supra and infra-diaphragmatic venous system : and here a different order from that of the arteries was to be pursued. As the venus ramusculi originate in the tissues, and unite for the formation of twigs, and subsequently of branches, converging towards the centre of circulation, I have first enumerated the veins of the hands and feet, naming all from the places of their origin and destination ; and have placed in an appendix, the central thoracic (pulmonary) venous apparatus, and the central abdominal venous apparatus, viz. the vena portae. In the third table is exhibited the system of lymphatic vessels, which, like the veins, begin by the twigs most distant from the trunks in which they merge. The division of NEUROGRAPHY concludes the work, and offers a detail of those systems which convey sensibility into every other part of the body. It contains three tables, of which the first comprehends the nerves which issue from the cavity of the cranium, and to which I have affixed the root cerehro, to distinguish them from the spinal, although the first pair is a cerebral prolongation, and all the rest an emanation from the medulla oblongata (bnlbe rachidien, Chaussier.) The second table comprises all the nerves which go off from the spinal column, and have as a root the generic word spino. The third table embraces the ganglionic system of nerves, with all the plexuses which emanate from it. All the nerves which pass off from the ganglia, have as a root the word gangli, and those which issue from the plexuses, the word plexi. These tables of the different nervous systems, are traced with the most scrupulous accuracy, and with all the minuteness to which the use of the microscope, and the most delicate dissections have enabled me to attain. I have bestowed the most pains upon this portion of my labors, as it is the most important and difficult; no where have I met with a satisfactory anatomical account of the nerves, nor do I think that there is any other than the present work, in which, at a single glance, is exhibited the entire assemblage of the conducting organs of sensibility and of animal or organic motion, (Bichat.) The greatest difficulty in the study of Anatomy lies, not in the inspection of objects, but in the number of names, or words by which they are represented; in the faulty classification of those words, in their singularity and often in correct signification, and lastly, in a want of graphic method. The nomenclature of the muscles, ligaments, glands, vessels, nerves, and of the organs of sense, is liable to similar objections; of these numerous organs, some bear the names of the functions they perform: others receive their appellations from their shapes, situation, or direction, while a third class are called after the authors by whom they have been either discovered or described. From all this arises a labyrinth of words’not to be recollected by the most retentive memory, unless after long and fatiguing study. This incongruity and looseness arrested the attention of Chaussier, who first attempted to systematize anatomical nomenclature. This reform he chiefly effected in that of the muscles, and thence derived much of the celebrity which he has acquired. Struck with the effect upon the imagination which he observed was produced by those names that had been bestowed by his predecessors upon certain muscles, which represented at the same time their extent and places of insertion, such as sterno-cleido-mastoid, occipitofrontal, and the names of attachment given to the muscles of the tongue and hyoidean regions, he conceived the happy thought of applying a name derived from its places of attachment to each muscle of the body, and thus invented a uniform system of appellation for the whole muscular apparatus. Some of the nerves and blood-vessels also received from him more correct denominations; but, while we admit the merit of this celebrated man, whose judicious mind was able thus to shake off the trammels of ancient routine, and to establish names much more proper for representing the things for which they were intended, we are obliged to confess that he left unremedied the chief difficulty, that which consists in the classification of, such a vast number of words in the memory. By some he is said even to have increased the evil, by introducing into the science as many new words as there had before existed old ones, in so much as it became necessary to acquire the new names to form an idea of their meaning, whilst the remembrance of the former was essential for compre- hending anatomical writers. Yet, as it was impracticable to establish a new nomenclature, without at the same time affixing a different name to each organ, there existed an urgent need, for some method by which these words might be rendered easy of remembrance. While I regret that Chaussier should have made so important an omission, and waiving all consideration of the risk attendant on making a similar essay after him, I have ventured on the attempt, but without aspiring to attain the merit of that rigid and correct preceptor. Like him, I have allowed the names of the bones and their peculiarities to stand as they were adopted by the ancients, and the moderns of our civilized times, because they are the fundamental basis of our whole organization, which they serve to support. The names which had already been affixed to the viscera as the foundation of the internal organs, I have also preserved, because these viscera constitute the parts most essential to existence ; and, to all other organs, be they what they may, I have given names derived from these two fundamental bases, so that it is in fact only necessary to engrave upon the memory the names of the bones and of the viscera, whence those of every other organ are to be derived. Further, 1 have arranged each of the new names beneath collective denominations drawn from the regions of the body, and thus it is, as an examination of the tables will show, that I have simplified the operations of the memory. The plan upon which I have proceeded to render my method the most,simple and the easiest possible, is the following : 1 have first, by way of introduction, made an exposition of the organism, in which I have introduced an analysis of each tissue, that the pupil might the better understand my tables, and that 1 might be saved from the necessity of overloading them with any lengthened disquisition. Then comes Organography, which is divided into eight parts : Ist, Osteography, or a description of the bones ; 2d, Arthrography, or a description of the joints, or articulations ; 3d, Myography, or a description of the muscles; 4th, Aesthesiography, or a description of the organs of sense; sth, Splanchnography, or a description of the viscera ; 6th, Diacrisiography, or a description of the apparatuses of secretion ; 7th, Angeiography, or a description of the blood-vessels ; Bth, Neurography, or a description of the nerves, OSTEOGRAPHY is represented by synoptical tables, arranged in three columns, the first of which contains the fundamental names of the bones and their situations ; the second, the particular office of each bone ; the third, the peculiarities which may be observable in them, such as places for the attachment of muscles, cavities and processes, the foramina which allow of the passage of the arteries and nerves, and the articu- lating surfaces. All other peculiarities which are useless, or which do not come under one or other of these four heads, I have passed over in silence, with a view of not overloading the memory. I have now concluded all that I had to offer in explanation of my tables. To Doct. Leboyer, who with consummate ability presided over the greater part of the dissections ; to M. Courtin, whose faithful pencil has with truth and talent portrayed the parts and preparations under their most favorable aspect, and to Dr. Pinchonniere, for that part of my work which relates to the nervous system, I offer the well deserved tribute of my gratitude. It remains for me to point out in what manner, by means of the tables, I have been enabled in fifteen lessons, to communicate a knowledge of anatomy, not only to students of medicine, but to painters, sculptors, dramatic artists and lawyers. For those who are desirous of pursuing a similar study, I employ preparations for demonstration, that there may be no dissecting or delay whatever during the lessons. The first session I dedicate to an outline of the organism, a demonstration of the composition of the tissues, to naming the bones and pointing them out upon the skeleton. The second lesson is occupied in describing the bones of the head and face ; the third in a description of those of the trunk and limbs, after a recapitulation of those of the face and cranium. I allow an interval of one day between every lesson, in order that the pupil may have time to re-enumerate and classify thoroughly in his memory, the objects which were demonstrated to him on the preceding day. At the commence- ment of the three subsequent lessons, I again recapitulate the names of all the bones, that they may not be forgotten. The fourth lesson is spent in a demonstration of the muscles of the head and neck ; the fifth, in that of the muscles of the thorax and upper extremities ; the sixth in that of those of the abdomen and pelvic members ; the seventh, in a general recapitulation of all the muscles ; the eighth, in a description of the external senses ; the ninth and tenth, in a demonstration of the viscera-and organs of secretion ; the eleventh, in that of the topography of the arteries ; the twelfth, in that of the lymphatic vessels ; the thirteenth, in an account of the distribution of the cerebral nerves ; the fourteenth, in that of the spinal nerves, and in a description of the ganglionic systems ; and the fifteenth, lastly, in a general recapitulation of all the appara- tuses and organic systems. Two courses of public lectures, which I have delivered in the amphitheatre of the Faculty of Medicine at Paris, and a third in M. Dupont’s cabinets of anatomical preparations in wax-work are sufficient evidences of the efficiency of my system. The artificial r preparations, invented by M. Auzoux, are also very well calculated for a demonstration of the muscles, and the beautiful specimens of wax-work, made by M. Talrich, may be employed in the study of the nervous systems and of the organs of the senses with advantage. ARTHROGRAPHY is arranged beneath two columns only, the one for the name of the joints, the other for that of the parts of which they are composed, either ligaments, membranes, or fibro-cartilages ; these parts I have named after the ends of the bones which they connect together, and have assigned to them, as an uniform ter mi nation, "the generic terminal name of the articulation. The former name is also preserved and follows in a parenthesis. The MYOGRAPHICAL table consists of four sections, the first of which contains the names of the regions in which the muscles are situated ; the second the names given to each muscle according to its attachments or places of insertion; the termination of each of these words expressing the generic appellation of the region in which the muscle is, and, as far as is possible, indicating the part which it is intended to set in motion. Thus, those muscles which are situated in the epicranio-frontal region, and whose office is to cause motion of the forehead, all end in the word frontal; those in the auricular region, and whose use is to move the auricula, or external ear, end in the word auricular; those in the palpebral region, the motors of the eyelids, terminate by the word palpebral, and those of the ocular region, by the word* ocxdar, and so on. A KEY TO SYSTEMATIZED ANATOMY. II For acquiring in a very short time all the peculiarities of Anatomical Science, as taught by Dr. SARLANDIERE. The difficulties which, until the present period, have beset the study of the Science of Anatomy, and have demanded from the pupil a period of at least two years for its comprehension, consist chiefly in the vast number of immethodical names which are bestowed upon organs, as well as in the prolixity of description, and the most unnecessary repetition. Systematized Anatomy has overcome these impediments, by a simplification of the nomenclature, by a rejection of all useless appellations, by attaching a meaning to all which have been retained, and by connecting with them the names either of regions, or of their respective organic centres: all which is set forth in synoptical tables, by which, at a glance, all the apparatuses or systems are exhibited, and the relative dependance of organs upon each other understood. Fifteen tables, preceded by some pre- liminary remarks, comprise the whole study of the science. The nomenclature presented in this work is not a mere collection of terms newly invented, for the purpose of assigning a more rational name to each organ, but it is a descriptive system of denominations, by which the objects are indicated in their situation, tracks, limits and relations. The basis of nomenclature is in ever instance derived from the bony scaffolding and from the viscera, which are, as it were, the arena upon which all the accessory parts assemble ; the joints, the muscles, the secretory and excretory tubes, the arteries, veins and nerves, all receive their appellations from these two bases, by which means, a few words, adopted in every language and known from the very creation of the science are perpetually reappearing, are easily recollected, soon render the mind familiar with the regions, and introduce into the study of Anatomy a lucid- ness and spirit of order, which wonderfully quicken the progress of the student in learning, and of the practitioner in remembering all the pecu- liarities of a science, the approaches to which have hitherto been so wearisome and laborious. into cavities, crypts or follicles, into which the canals of the glands open, or into organic apparatuses which embrace parts destined for very im- important functions; capitals point out the glands, membranes and organs of higher importance; the smaller letters are appropriated to the follicles and crypts, and numerals to the excretory ducts, Greek letters being used to indicate parenchymata whose uses are as yet unknown. The particular apparatuses are designated in a marginal column ; brackets connect constituent parts one with another, and the last bracket is followed by a statement of the uses and functions of each apparatus, A plate, illustrative of its figure, will be found opposite the table. The 11th table, headed Angeiography, details the whole arterial vascular system, so that capitals, followed by smaller capitals, indicate arterial trunks and their larger divisions ; small letters, with titles in small capitals, the principal branches ; when they are followed merely by letters of the ordinary type, they point out the small branches; figures designate twigs and ramusculi; all these trunks, branches, and twigs are respectively united by brackets, so that the relations of a single trunk to its final ramifications, may be seen at a glance : an arrangement peculiar- ly advantageous for study, or for mental reference in case of incision, or the operation of ligature, and by which, moreover, each name designates an artery, and brings to mind at once its situation, course, place of departure and of destination. For instance : the first artery which leaves the trunk called the aorta after its issue from the heart, proceeds towards the anterior part of that organ, upon which it ramifies ; it ought there- fore, of course, to receive the name of the anterior aorta-cardiac : the twigs which it distributes, supply the right auricle and ventricle, and com- municate between the two ventricles, and they, therefore, deserve the appellations of right cardiaco-auricular, right cardiaco-ventricular, and of cardiaco-inter-ventricular arteries. Such of the arteries as had already been designated by previous writers will be seen to have their ancient names following their descriptive one in a parenthesis. The immense utility of this synoptical table, is observable at a glance. Towards its con- clusion is an exposition of the system of vessels which are exterior to the greater circulation,.and belong to the central-thoracic, or pulmonary circulatory apparatus, and to the central abdominal circulatory apparatus, or system of the vena portae. A plate, which contains a representation of all the principal arteries and arteriolee of the human body, is attached to the table. THE CONTENTS OF EACH TABLE, AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY ARE TO BE STUDIED. The first table contains the exposition of the organism, that is to say, a general anatomy which describes the composition of the tissue, the form of the organs, the nature of the functions, differences of organization, and all general remarks upon composition and offices, which, if they were to be comprised in the graphic portion of the work, would be liable to perpetual reiteration, and give rise to embarrassment. The ensuing tables offer us Osteography, or the basis of the nomenclature of the outer man. The first points out the bones of the head, in number 20. A plate is attached to it; the capital letters refer to the entire bone ; they are followed by the fundamental name which it is neces- sary to keep in mind, which is the same in all the languages used by civilized nations, and is incessantly reproduced in the description of accesso- ry organic parts, which are invariably comprised in the region occupied by each bone. The small letters point out portions, or divisions of the bone, and the numeral figures its peculiarities, embracing the processes, cavities, places of the attachment of muscles, holes or furrows which allow of the passage of the arteries, veins, or nerves. The second table contains the bones of the trunk and limbs, which are 177 in number, the refer- ences to which, as to lettering and numeration, are similar to those of the first. A plate also accompanies the table, containing the individual bones, with the addition of their conjunction in the form of a skeleton. The 4th table relates to Arthrography, or a description of the articulations. Here commences the method of which the bones serve as the basis ; all the ligaments, cartilages, and fibro-cartilages of the skeleton, in number 146, are classified in this table which consists of two columns ; the first, indicates the joints to which the parts composing them, and the number of ligaments, are attached ; the second, contains the descriptive ; names of each component part; every name being formed from the bone which gives attachment to these ligaments, and ending in the terminal! indication of the articulation itself. Thus : the ligaments, or cartilages, which compose the temporo-rnaxillary articulation, all terminate by the word maxillary: those which form the tarsal articulations, end in the word tarsal, so as to indicate, without any effort of the memory, the ar- ticular region in which they are placed. By this means, the termination alone is sufficient to declare the region, but the entire description is de- rived from the entire descriptive name ; thus, the ligament called the calcanei-scaphoido-infra-tarsal, shows by its terminating word thnt it belongs to the tarsal region ; the last word but one, that it is plantar, and the first two that it stretches from the bone of the calx to the scaphoid bone ; the numerals 118, which go before, refer to the plate which accompanies the table, and point out its form and situation ; the words post, inter, supra, intus, extus, which precede a final word, indicate its situation relatively to the skeleton placed vertically, the old names being preserved in a parenthesis. The 12th table is a continuation of Angeiography, and represents the venous and lymphatic vascular systems, which differ from the system of arteries materially, notwithstanding that all authors have been satisfied with advising the veins to be studied according to the course of the arteries. On the present occasion an inverse proceeding becomes necessary, and the author has so acted in the arrangement of his table. He has commenced with the venous twigs designated by numerals, which are associated by the termination with the branch into which they empty, and which comprises them all within a bracket. The branches designated by small letters, empty into the branches whose names are preceded by small capitals, to which latter they are in a similar manner attached by an uniform termination and a bracket; finally, the latter are coupled with the venous trunks in the same way, and these trunks indicated by capitals followed by smaller capitals. Following the venous system, and in the form of an appendix, we are presented with the system of the lymphatic vessels, which, as it is less important than those of the veins and arteries, is not detailed with equal precision, but in which every thing of importance will be found, and a plate of either system faces the table. The 13th table, with the title of Neurography, comprises a description of the brain, with a notice (according to all modern physiological experimenters) of the functions of each constituent part. (It was found exceedingly difficult to connect all these parts with one another, but the author, by the assistance of the progressive development and the generatory production of fibres described by MM. Gall and Tiedemann, has suc- ceeded in solving the problem.) This table is highly valuable in its anatomical and physiological relations ; the spinal apparatus is described both anatomically and functionally. But that part of his undertaking which cost the author the most labor, and has been attended with the most brilliant success, is the detail in the same table of the apparatus of the ganglionic system of nerves, and which was never yet so described by any anatomist as to be well understood. The author himself understood it not until the completion of his table, and it may be unhesitatingly assert- ed, that in this work alone is there to be found a lucid description of this important system of nerves. All the ganglia of the head required to be linked with their common centre, the great superior cervical ganglion ; the ganglionic nerves of the neck and upper part of the thorax, with their plexuses, naturally were connected with the middle and lower cervical ganglia ; the lower thoracic nerves, and a portion of the infra-diaphrag- matic were linked with the thoracic ganglia; the upper intra-abdominal nerves, with the great plexiform ganglion, (the semilunar); the lower with the abdominal; the upper pelvic with the lumbar, the lower with the sacral; all the nervous filaments discoverable by dissection, have, in this table, received a descriptive systematic name, which points out, like that of the vessels, their situation, track, place of departure, and of desti- nation ; each filament emanating from a ganglion, takes for its root the generic word gangli, and as a finale, the name of the part to which it is sent; and that which issues from a plexus, begins by the word plexo, or plexi. The ganglia are indicated by capital letters ; the plexuses by small letters, and the nervous filaments by numerals. The plate which faces the table contains five figures of the brain ; the first shows the pro- duction of the generatory fibres, and the direction in which they radiate ; the second is a section of the cerebrum and cerebellum, showing the white and gray substances, the cerebellal ramifications, (arbor vitce,) the 3rd and 4th ventricles, the bulgings called the optic thalami, and those called corpora striata, the tubercula quadrigemina, and the appendix called the pineal gland ; the third is a vertical section, showing the inter- ventricular septum and a vertical portion of the third ventricle ; the communicating canal, (aqueduct of Sylvius) leading to the 4th ventricle, of which a vertical section is also given ; the tubercula quadrigemina which are above this canal, the great interlobary commissure, (corpus callo- sum,) a vertical section of the cerebellum, the interlobary circumvolutions, and lastly, the primary origin of the cerebral nerves in the white sub- stance ; the fourth shows the sth ventricle and the lateral ventricles, the trigone cerebral, (or vault,) and its dependencies, a portion of the optic thalami and corpora striata ; and the fifth represents the base of the brain, the bulb, the protuberance, and place of departure of each of the cere- bral nerves. Two figures represent the spinal marrow; one shows it entire, placed upon a base-formed by the dura-mater, being a section which exhibits the fourth ventricle, the intra-medullary canal, and the exit of the spinal nerves; the other is a segment, representing the originating fasciculi of the spinal nerves, the lower origin of the 12th cerebral pair, the origin of the diaphragmatic, and the beginningof the trachelo-hume- ral-plexus. Two other figures show in detail the whole ganglionic nervous system, and a smaller supplementary one represents the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th, and 6th pairs of cerebral nerves, and belongs to the table which follows. The sth and 6th tables, headed Myography, contain a description of the supra-diaphragmatic muscles of the skeleton, which amount t0!47, and are accompanied by two plates. The tables are divided into four columns: the first, indicating the regions and the number of the muscles therein contained ; the second, their names according to their attachments ; each denomination compelling the memory to a four fold operation by showing in the final word the region in which the muscle lies, and by the name in full, the part which it chiefly moves, its extent and its j insertions. For instance : the word occipito-cutanei-frontal, the name of the first muscle, shows by the final word, (frontal) that its particular location is the region of the forehead, in like manner with the other frontal muscles; the termination also shows that it is to move the forehead, in the same way as the muscles of the auricular, palpebral, ocular, nasal, and labial regions, set in motion the auricle, the eyelids, the balls of the eyes, the nose, and the lips. The word occipito, on the one hand, shows that the muscle is attached to the occipital bone, and the words cutanei- frontal, on the other, that it has also an attachment to the integuments of the forehead. The same method governs every other muscle ; (when they are attached to the frontal integuments to wrinkle 'it, they contain the word cutanei; if not, they always take the names of the bones into which they are inserted ;) whilst, finally, the attention, when directed simultaneously to the root and to the termination of the word, discloses the extent of the muscle, which proceeds from the occiput to the forehead. The third column presents us with the names according to shape or silu- tion ; the fourth suggests the uses or functions of each muscle. Among these three varieties of denomination, is always to be found the old and most generally adopted appellation, videlicet: in the column of attachments, when the old name properly belongs to it, as does that of occipito- frontal, stylo-glossal, sterno-hyoid, &c.; in the third column, when the name of the muscle has been derived from some peculiarity in its shape or situation, as supra-ciliary, pyramidal, orbicular, rectus superior and inferior of the eye, myrtiform, great and lesser oblique, triangular, or quad- rate muscle of the chin, trapezoid, deltoid, and the like : in the fourth column, when the name is drawn from the function of the muscle, such as levator of the upper lip, adductor, abductor, flexor, extensor, pronator, or supinator.(l) The 7th table, likewise headed Myography, and accompanied by two plates, embraces in it all the infra-diaphragmatic muscles, which are 73 in number. It is arranged similarly to the two preceding tables, and will require to be studied in a similar way. The Bth table presents us with Aesthesiography, that is to say, the composition of the sensorial apparatuses, viz. the visual, the auditory, the olfactory, the gustatory, and the tactile, together with a plate divided into five compartments, in which are figured all the peculiarities which appertain to each of these apparatuses. The capital letters in this table designate the parts which are the chief instruments of sensation, and the small letters, or the figures, indicate the parts that are secondarily constituent, such as the horny, or membranous tissues, the humors, ducts, mus- cles, ossicles, cartilages, sinuses, laminae, layers, and all other accessory bodies. Not only do these tables contain an anatomical exposition of the above named apparatuses, but the functional uses are also detailed in them, in order that an accurate list may be afforded of the graphic and phy- siological disposition of the senses. The 14th table is a continuation of the Neurography, and represents the system of the cerebral nerves, (the 12 pair of nerves which pass out of the cranium, being classed in it according to the order of their exit;) they take as a root the word cerebro, to mark their origin ; the 12th pair takes as a root the word spino-cerebro which indicates its double origin, and the word which follows points out the course and situa- tion of the nerve as far as its termination as a trunk, or its subdivision into branches, or secondary rami. The latter are designated by capitals, or small letters, according to their importance, and the ramusculi which pass off from the secondary divisions of the nerves are indicated by figures, and a root which connects them in the same bracket to the rami or branches whence they spring, the final word showing, as in the table of the arteries, the organic parts to which they are distributed. When they form plexuses, the ramusculi which go out from these plexuses take the word plexi or plexo for a root, and an explanation of the function of each nerve follows its denomination. Each branch, secondary ra- mus, and ramusculus is connected by means of brackets to the nervous trunk upon which it is dependant, and thus at a glance is comprehended the whole system of sensation and motion, of which it is the soul. A plate is attached to this table, and contains also some references to the table which follows it; the cerebral pairs are pointed out by Roman numerals, followed by a P and aC, (paires cerebrales, Fr.;) the figures which refer to the spinal pairs are followed by the letters S. P. The origin of these spinal and cerebral pairs, is likewise represented in the preceding engraving. The 9th table contains Splanchnography, or a description of the viscera, the basis of the nomenclature of the inner man, which comprises the human vocal, respiratory, central circulatory, digestive and genital apparatuses ; and here again the capital letters designate the viscera, which furnish their names to the vessels, nerves, or other organic parts that are connected with them: the small letters indicate the principal parts of; each viscus, and the figures, the parts of which they are composed. When these parts themselves act as rallying points for other organic parts, | the name is printed in small capitals, whilst secondary parts are designated, according to their importance, by the usual type, or by italics. All I constituent parts are associated to the principal organs by brackets, which serve to make a better divisional mark, and, after the last bracket is! placed a designation of the uses or functions of each organ, or of its subdivisions. Opposite to the table is a plate containing a delineation of all the parts named in it, with letters and figures of reference. The 15th table, also a continuation of the Neurography represents the system of spinal nerves classified according to the order of their going oif, from above downwards, which are referred to by Roman numerals ; the small numerals indicate the branches, and capitals designate the plex- uses ; Grecian letters show the fasciculi, or divisions of branches, which are either distributed to the same part, or pass in the same direction. The root of these nerves is the word spino, to distinguish them from the cerebral and ganglionic nerves, which for a root take the word cerebro or gangli ; when plexuses have been formed, those -which pass out from them take the word plexo for a root, and the final word indicates always the place to which they are destined, so that in the same manner precisely as for the other nerves and for the blood-vessels, the name always exhibits the course, situation, place of departure and arrival; all the nervous filaments which have no names in books, here take their descriptive appel- lation, and thus it is, by a very simple method, that their study is facilitated. Lastly, the last plate is a recapitulation or revision of the parts which constitute the muscular, nervous and vascular systems or apparatuses, with figures referring to each of these sections, that the parts of the organ- ism may be comprehended as a whole. By these means is a method completed, which by its simplicity and conciseness, rapidly enables thestU' dent to acquire such an amount of anatomical knowledge as hitherto he was able, only with toil and difficulty, to attain. The 10th table is an exposition of Diacrisiography, or of all the excretory and secretory apparatuses combined in a single system. (This is a proceeding which has never been attempted by any anatomist until now, and is so much the more natural that as it comprises all the glands and their appendages, a single system of nerves, the ganglionic is concerned in their vitality. This division is a branch of splanchnography. The table is in three divisions : one contains those organs whose excretory ducts open upon the mucous membranes; the next, those whose exhalant orifices are in the serous membranes, and the third, those whose ducts terminate in the skin. Each of these divisions is subdivided (1) It may be well to observe, that in the natural position of the skeleton, the palms of the hands looking backward, that part of the forearm which was considered as outwardly by the an- cifcnts, becomes internal, and dee versa, which occasions a transposition of the names as they relate tb situation; but a little attention will prevent the commission of error. AM KXFOSXTXOIT OF TBS OIMIXSM. III The organic tissues of the animal body are soluble, by ultimate analyses, into Gelatine, Albumen and Fibrin; and they also contain some phosphate of lime, iron, various salts, alkalies, &c., diversely combined. AH constituted organic parts are naturally divisible into hard parts, which serve as a support to the whole organism, viz. the bones and cartilages; into solid soft parts, which comprise the agents of motion, sensation, and nutrition : and into fluids, viz. the blood, lymph, and all the secreted fluids, which are the agents of depuration and assimilation. ... , ~ ~ ~ , , . , ~x . , ... . ~ . „ . The parts of the body when considered more particularly, and classified according to their physical and chemical composition, may be divided into a certain number of homogeneous tissiies, and are severally called the osseous, cartilaginous, fibro-tendmous, muscular, cellular, der- matoid epidermoid or horny, erectile, glandular, serous, mucous, vascular, and nervous tissues. Assuming different forms, these tissues compose limited portions of the organism, to which the name of organs has been given. The organs of the human body are the instruments of life: by them it is that the functions are performed. . , , ... f .. ~..., ■, r .. f . .. . The organic functions are divided into the partial and the general. The partial are those which are performed by a particular group of continuous, or contiguous organs, and constitute only a more or less limited portion of the organism. To such groups of organs, I have applied the term rnaratus thus the assemblage of the bones forms the apparatus of sustenance, or support; the muscles, that of locomotion: besides which we have the external and internal sensitive apparatuses, the central sensorial, the vocal, respiratory, central circulatory, digestive, genital and secretory apparatuses. "The o-eneral functions are accomplished by means of organs, which being susceptible of ramification, penetrate into all the others, and pass from a central starting point into all parts of the organism. These functions are excitability, the motory power and nutri- tion • the assemblage of organs by which each of these general functions is accomplished, has received the name of system, and therefore I call the whole of the nerves of the body, nervous system,—all the arteries, arterial system,—venous system, the assemblage of veins,—lymphatic sustem, that of the vessels of that name, . . . ~, , . ... . r . The distinction then between systems and apparatuses is this, that the latter are only limited portions of the organism, whilst systems are the entire organism considered m a particular point of view. THE TISSUES WHICH COMPOSE THE SYSTEMS AND APPARATUSES OP THE ORGANISM. I. The tissue of the bones is compact and very hard ; properly speaking, it is merely a gelatinous parenchyma m which phosphate of lime has been deposited ; the central thickness of the long bones consists of very compact tissue ; the ends of these bones, the interior of the short bones, and that of the flat bones, at the adult age, are formed of a spongy looking tissue ; the large bones of the limbs, having in their centre a medullary canal, are towards that cavity, composed of reticular tissue, and contain the marrow. The assemblage of the bones of the human frame by means of cartilages and ligaments, constitutes the skeleton, which is a scaffolding and support to ail the soft parts assigns limits to the body, and becomes the axis of its o-eneral form. The bones of the trunk and head are curved to form the walls of the splanchnic cavities : they sup- port and protect the viscera • &the bones of the limbs are levers, moved in an admirable manner by the muscles, and are ot use in transporting the entire body from one place to another ; they effect prehension and resistance, and serve for the general performance of all the actions necessary for the wants or preservation of the individual. , .. , • , 11. The cartilaginous tissue is of solid consistence, and holds a middle place between the fibrous tissue and the bones; its aspect is peaily, it is elastic and consists of albumen and a small portion of calcareous phosphate. Cartilages are met with at the moveable articulations of the bones in order to prevent the friction of articulating surfaces ; they also exist between the sternum and the ribs, and m the larynx, and by meams of their elasticity serve to restore the parts to which they are attached to their natural position, after they have been distended by the muscular efforts. The fibro-cartilaginous tissue is only a modification of cartilage ; its consistence is less dense, its elasticity is greater, and its uses are the same • fibro-cartilao-es are found between the bodies of the vertebras, where they serve to restore the spinal column to its wonted perpendicu- larity after it has been'curved in the motions of the trunk. The outer ear is also formed of a fibro-cartilage, in like manner with the upper eyelid the rings of the trachea and the alas of the nose ; their office is to keep those parts open, or to give insertion to muscles ; they are met with of a target-like or annular shape between articulating surfaces, when they serve as cushions for lessening the severity of shocks inflicted by the limbs or levers upon the joints, or where they line the edge of a cavity, as at the ilio-femoral articulation, to allow of a greater extent of HI The fibrous tissue, is still less dense than the fibro-cartilaginous, and more flexible ; like it, it consists of gelatine and a portion of the phosphate of lime ; it is made up of very distinct shining fibres, of a dull white or silver gray color ; these fibres possess great power of resist- ance. are not contractile, are very difficult to rupture, and arranged very closely together; sometimes they are in bundles, sometimes exist as membranes, and either lie parallel, or intersect each other, a Tendinous T.

IY The tissue op the muscles is composed of fibrin, arranged in the form of filaments, or of fibres in juxta position, of a red color, more or less deep according to the state of nutrition, of soft texture, and slight resistance in comparison with tendinous fibre ;-they are of uni- form size and possess the faculty of shortening themselves. These fibres are arranged in bundles planted upon tendons, aponeuroses, or bones, and sometimes also upon the skin. Generally they are straight, except in the sphincter muscles, in which they are orbicular, and by their con- tractions they effect motions, or myotility. Motions of much extent and of but little energy, are perfoimed by the fasciculi which consist of long fibres : those of short fibres, but which are multiplied in the direction of their length, are much more active, but have a much less extent of motion ; the latter are the fleshy bundles which form distinct masses called muscles. These organs are fusiform, wide or flattened, of different sizes but for the most part long in the limbs, broad on the trunk and head, and short upon the face, the hands and the feet. The muscles aie enclosed in aponeuroses, and surrounded by cellular tissue ; those of relative life execute the sudden movements, whilst those of nutritive life, (with the exception of the heart) generally contract in a slow and vermicular manner ; the latter are met with in a state of membrane. Y. The cellular tissue, which is very abundant in the economy, clothes all the organs of the body, and penetrates into the texture of the meater part. It is an assemblage of whitish, elastic, extensible filaments, which intersect each other in the form of laminae , it is intended fo envelope the organs, and maintain them in their relative positions ; to serve them as a support, and to facilitate the slipping of those which move ; and of it, likewise, consist the cells in which the fat is deposited upon those parts of the body which possess the greatest rotundity of form YI The dermic (or dermatoid) tissue is composed of several layers. (Yide fEsthesiography, the cutaneous apparatus.) Of these the thickest is a whitish, hairy, fibro-cellular, dense and compact body, covered with a papillary vasculo-nervous, and by a mucous layer, which encloses the coloring principle of the skin. YIL The horny tissue (corneous) offers several varieties ; the epidermis is a thin semi-transparent, insensible membrane, of horny appearance; the nails are of similar nature, but more thick and hard ; the transparent cornea of the globe of the eye belongs also to the corneous tissue, but is highly diaphanous, and the crystalline lens is of the same structure, YIII. The erectile tissue is of a nervoso-vascular nature, very irritable, and admits of the permeation of a sudden rush of blood through its innumerable capillary vessels ; at the moment of this turgescence, and consentaneously with its nervous irritability, the tissue swells, expands, hardens and grows red. The corpora cavernosa penis and clitoridis, the glans, spongy portion of the urethra, the nipple, the papillae of the tongue, and intestinal villosities, are of this character. IX. The glandular tissue is of a varied character ; but generally consists of small, rounded, smooth granules, grouped together, connected by cellular filaments, and arranged in lobules, or in an even parenchyma in which the arteriolae that are distributed to the glands terminate, and from which the orifice of the proper excretory duct of each gland takes its origin. In the salivary, lachrymal and pancreatic glands, the glandular tissue is arranged, by means of cellular tissue, in isolated lobes ; in the liver and kidnies, it is smooth and firm ; the tonsils, the prostate, and all the mucous follicles offer a soft and pulpy tissue, not lobulated and but slightly granulated, and the testicles offer a mass of vessels convoluted upon themselves. The combination and description of all the glandular appara- tuses constitutes Diacrisiography. X. The serous tissue is shining and smooth, lax, extensible, whitish, semitransparent, and arranged in membranes which line the splanchnic cavities, the viscera, and the extremities of the bones,at which they form shutsacs : from their surface a fluid called serous is exhaled, which lubricates them, and facilitates their sliding on the moving of the organs which they clothe. The serous membrane which invests the brain, has been called the arachnoid, that which lines the lungs and parietes of the chest, the pleura : that in which the heart is enclosed, the pericardium, and that which invests the digestive, urinary and genital viscera in the abdomen, takes the names of mesentery, peritoneum or epiploon. • Those serous tissues lastly, which are met with in the capsules of the joints, are called synovial membranes. XL The tissue of the mucous membranes is soft and spongy consisting of follicles or crypts connected by cellular tissue, forming a kind of glandular chorion-surmounted with nervoso-vascular papillae, and covered by a very delicate epidermis. All internal parts which are destined to be brought into contact with external agents, are clothed with this tissue; it lines the larynx, the cavities of the face, and the air pas- sages, in which during.the processes of respiration, audition and locution it is every where in contact with the atmospheric air ;it covers the whole interior of the digestive tube, in which it moulds itself upon the alimentary substances it contains ; and in the bladder and canals of the genital apparatuses, it is in contact with the urinary and seminal fluids, or wth the exterior bodies which are capable of introduction into those passa- ges. At the orifices which open upon the skin, it is dense, compact and highly sensitive : but in the splanchnic cavities it loses its tactile sensibi- lity, and becomes the seat of sensations, or the internal senses, such as the necessity for respiration, that for food (or hunger), for drinks (or thirst), the feeling of satiety, of a need of the natural exonerations, of sexual intercourse, &c. This tissue varies in its color and thickness in different parts ; in the external meatus of the ear and sinuses of the face it is very thin and pale ; on the palate and lips it is thick and very florid ; in the vagina, stomach and small intestines, it holds a middle course between these two extremes ; and lastly, the surface of the mucous membrane in its whole extent is moistened with a fluid in greater or less abundance, and more or less thick, destined to shield it from the action of foreign bodies, and to favor its gliding motion. XII. The vascular system is arranged in cylindrical canals which traverse all the other tissues, not excepting the bones ; the walls of the arteries and veins are thick in the large trunks, and decrease in thickness with their caliber. The vascular tissue is divided into the arterial, the venous, and the lymphatic, each of which systems are di vided into branches and twigs ; they rally at a central point of circulation.—lst, the arterial tissue is of fibrous consistence, is firm, elastic, contractile, and of a yellowish white color, slightly dilatable, and consists of three mem- branes, or coats; the inner one thin and reddish ; the middle one composed of circular muscular fibres, of great fragility: the outer one lami- nar, dense, compact and unyielding.—2d. The tissue of the veins is neither so thick, nor so unyielding as that of the arteries ; it is of a grayish- white, and consists of three membranes : the inner one is red, smooth, and polished, like that of an artery, and forms numerous folds called valves; the middle coat is very thin, lax, and extensible, and composed of longitudinal parallel fibres ; the outer tunic is merely a layer of cellular tissue. The tissue of the lymphatic vessels consists of two membranes; the inner one thin, transparent and very fragile, which forms valvular folds ; the external one dense, cellular and contractile. Glandiform ganglia are placed at intervals along the course of the lymphatic vessels, which consist of a reddish areolar tissue, filled with a whitish juice (the lymph). XIII. The nervous tissue is evidently composed of two portions, the medullary substance within, and the neurilemma without; the latter is a canaliculated membrane, firm, transparent and unyielding, which forms the parietes of the nerves, or the contiguous cords which compose them, and which exist in greater or less number, according to the nature or size of the nerve. The medullary substance is soft, white, stagnant, and of the consistence of bouillie (boiled meat); it fills the interior of the neurilemmatic canals ; veins and twigs of arteries penetrate into the cellular tissue which separates the small neurilemmatic canals of each nerve, and contribute to their nutrition. Like that of the vessels, the 1 system of nerves consists of trunks, branches and twigs, and rallies at a cental point of innervation. HUMAN ORGANOGRAPHY THE BASIS OF THE NOMENCLATURE. I. The total number of bones which compose the apparatus of support, (the skeleton,) is 197, not including the three intra-nasal bones, described with the apparatus of smell, and the six of hearing, placed among the apparatus of audition; in addition to which, 1 accidental osseous productions are occasionally met with, (the wormion and sesamoid, or triquetrous bones,) which are the inter-articular nuclei.

THE COMPOSITION OF THE SENSORIAL APPARATUSES. The apparatuses of the senses, or those called the sensorial, are destined to receive the impressions produced by external objects, and to transmit them, by means of the conducting nerves appropriated for these functions, to the brain. The external senses have been admitted to be five in number, which are Sight, Hearing, Smelling, Taste, and the Touch. I. Visual, or Intra-Orbitary Apparatus, (a partial sense.) STljt Of 1 Posterior aperture for the passage | of the optic nerve. 2 Anterior aperture occupied by the i transparent cornea. 111. Olfactory or Intra-nasal Apparatus, (ajpartial sense.) a The external membrane, the Sclerotic coat, white, fibrous, ' I opaque, covered on its anterior part by the conjunctiva, a. . <£rsan of Snullins* b The transparent Cornea, being much more convex than the remainder of the globe. '36 The proper bones of the nose, superiorly (ossa nasi.) G. in the Osteog. 137 The two naso-parietal fibro-cartilages, which constitute the | wings, (alee.) '3B The two naso-lobal fibro-cartilages, forming inferiorly the edges * of the nostrils. These parts are covered .by the muscles of the face, ’by cellular tissue, by se- Ibaceous follicles, and the * integuments. c The Iris, a circular membrane, placed behind the cornea, perforated in its centre by an aperture, and of various co- -1 lors, having converging striae upon its anterior, and circu- lar ones upon its posterior surface. 3 Pupil, or central aperture of the i Lis, enlarging or contracting, to ? allow to the transmission of a f greater or less number of luminous ' rays.(*) K The Outer Walls, (the nose,) are formed of IA The Globe or Ball i of the Eye, in the orbit, consists Bof: d The Extra-Iridian, or ciliary circle, (ligament,) a ring of soft and spongy substance, which unites the iris to the choroid and sclerotic tunics, e The Choroid coat, or uvea, a brownish black membrane, lining the inner surface of the sclerotica, which secretes a blackish fluid (pigmentum nigrum,) intended to absorb the rays of light, which passes behind the iris as far as the crystalline lens, at which it forms the post-iridian circle, or ciliary processes, b. f The Chrystalline Lens, a lenticular, transparent body, consisting of concrete vitreous humor, en- closed in a membrane called the crystalline (capsular, or capsule of the lens,) and placed be- hind the aperture of the pupil. It is the optic centre, g The vitreous body, or humor, a transparent, albuminous fluid, occupying all the space between the lens and the retina, and like the crystalline lens, serving as a medium for the passage of the rays of light. h The Aqueous humor, occupying the space comprised between the crystalline lens and transparent cornea, which space is by the iris divided into two chambers, the anterior and the posterior, i The Retina, a soft, pulpo-nervous membrane, occupying the fundus of the globe, and appearing to be an expansion of the optic nerve. This membrane receives luminous impressions, and trans- mits them to the brain.

M The Secondary Ca- vities, consisting of The Cerebro-OCULAR Nerve, or the Visual, (optic, or 2d pair,) very voluminous, originating at the tubercula quadrigemi- na decussating with its fellow before it enters the orbit by the post-orbitary, or optic hole. This nerve conveys the impression of vision to the brain. C Nerves of Motion and (Sensibility, coming from the 3d, 4th, sth, and 6th pairs of cerebral nerves, {vide Neurography,) and distributing themselves upon the proper muscles of the eye and to the globe. D The Muscles, six in number, viz., the 4 straight and the 2 oblique, described in the Myographical Table, at the figures 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. N The Expansions of the Olfactory, or cerebro-< supra Ethmoidal nerve ; (Ist pair.) < These expansions are the termination of the infra-ethmoidal twigs, which pass into a soft pulp with- in the intra-nasal mucous (pituitary of Schneiderian) membrane, in the same manner as the other sensorial nerves, (and particularly those of hearing and vision.) It is upon the upper part of the forsas nasalia that these expansions are chiefly distributed, and that olfaction is effected, al- though the pituitary membrane also lines the secondary cavities and the other parts of the fossee. The nerves of the sth pair, which are distributed upon this membrane, are the nerves of sensation and olfactory excitement.

O The Tongue, an oval oblong organ, occupying the lower part of the mouth, and fastened by its posterior ex- tremity to the os Hyoides ; it consists of Short and numerous muscular fibres, some of which are longitudinal, others transverse, vertical, or obliqye, and converging more or less towards the meridian line; and also of a cartilaginiform lamina, or septum, ending by a yellow ligament. I All the fleshy bundles together form the glossal muscle, and serve to vary extremely the motions .of the tongue, for the modification of the sounds of the voice, for the articulation of wonds, and to I enable it to mould itself upon the bolus of food in the act of mastication. 11. Auditory, or Intra-labyrinthic Apparatus, (a partial sense. ©vfian of p*favins. k. The Auricle, or outer ear, is a cartila- ginous shallow [surface, having on it several folds, which are on the circum- ference the helix, more inwardly the , anthelix, in front of the auditory hole \ the tragus, posteriorly the antitragus, j and the lobe below.

I It also takes cognizance of flavors, but less > acutely, and in a less extent the tip and edges of ) the tongue. The extremities of the lingual nerve and the \ capillary vessels form the papillce of the tongue, some of which are conoid, others fungiform, others lenticular or filiform, which are the seals of the >perception of flavors. These parts are covered by .the mucous membrane, which forms below the jfrenum, by which the motions of the tongue are limited. Liga- ments. 16 Supra-temporo-auricular. 17 Supra-zygomatico-auricular. 18 Mastoido-auricular. IQ, The Gustatory nerve is the second twig of the 3d branch of the sth pair, or cerebro-supra-sphenoidal. This nerve passes into the tongue at its lower part, where it ramifies into a great many fila- ments, which terminate chiefly upon its edges, its point, and upper part. A few twigs are given off to the tonsils and pharynx. m The Meatus auditorius externus, which describes many curves in its course, and ends at the sep- tum tympani. 19 Cryptce or glandulce ceruminosce, which line the interior of the duct. 20 Septum, of the tym- panum; (membrana tympani.)

The os orbiculare seems to be mearly a bony nu- cleus, which is soldered to the stapes. 24 Petro-malleal, (internus mallei) adducts the malleus, (tensor tympani.) 125 Spheno-malleal, (laxator tympani,) abducts and moves the malleus forward, and relaxes \ the tympanum. 26 Temporo-stapedial, (posterior of the stapes,) (stapedius,) lowers the posterior and raises . the anterior part of the stapes. Note. «. The Cerebro-Pharyngo-Glossal nerve, (9th pair,) seems to be intended only for determining the motions of deglutition; and 0- the Cerebro-Hyoido-Glossal nerve, (11th pair,) regulates the movements of the tongue exclusively, particularly in articulation and in masti- cation. V. The Tactile or Cutaneous Apparatus, (a general sense,) (cutis, skin, or integument.) This apparatus consists of a series of cavities which are traversed by the sonorous rays on their way to reach the cerebro - intra - temporal (auditory) nerve. This series of cavities, is divided into the extra-tym- panic, and intra-tympanic ducts, and into the labyrinth.

This Apparatus is composed of the Trachea, Bronchi, Lungs, Diaphragm, and Costal Expiratory and Inspiratory Muscles. J The SMALL INESTINES, {svtfqov.) The second intestinal portion (jejunum and Ileon) at- tached by the mesentery, or a fold of the peritoneum so called, to the vertebral column and the neigh- boring parts. 'd The LUNGS, {Pulniones,iare parenchymatous, soft, permeable organs filling the right and left cavities of the thorax, lined by a serous mem- brane called the pleura, and separated in the centre by the heart, and an- teriorly and posteriorly by two layers of cellular tissue which have been i called the mediastina. The lungs are formed of the mass of aeriferous | ramifications of which the bronchi and trachea represent the trunk, and ' with these aeriferous ramifications the ultimate divisions of the cardiaco- pulmonary artery, which brings the venous blood from the heart, are \ every where in contact. By the action of the air upon the venous blood j is created arterial blood, which, passing in the pulmo-cardiac veins or ducts, returns to the heart. The mucous membrane which every where lines the interior of the trachea, the bronchi, and their ramifications, is the seat of necessity for respiration. 51 Intra-intestinal-absorbent mouths. Organs of chymification. B The TRACHEA, or laryngo-bronchial aerial canal. It is formed of fibro-cartilaginous rings, separated from each other by a fibrous mem-, brane. The posterior, or oesophageal part is composed, for its entire length, of a fibro-cel- lular membrane. The BRONCHI, or right and left trachelo- pulmonary canals, are formed by the bifurca- tion of the trachea on a level with the second dorsal vertebra; they also consist of rings,< and are divided indefinitely into rami and ra- musculi, to constitute the arbor-pulmonaria. ’ i The Caecum. k The Colon I forming a cir- ’ cuit. il The Rec- * turn, in the cavity of the pelvis. 52 Entero-ilio-coecal valve and appendix (vermiformis.) f 53 Ascending or right lumbar portion. ) 54 Transverse or infra-gastric-portion, (arch of the colon.) ) 55 Descending ox left lumbar portion. < 56 Sigmoid flexure (lower or illiac portion.) K The LARGE INTESTINES. *■ Organs of defamation. 57 The sphincter of the anus, or its lower part. C The DIAPHRAGM, or septum medium, an aponeurotico-muscular, wide, flattened and almost circular organ, adhering to the last ribs, to the sternum and to the first lumbar vertebra ; it forms a septum which separates the thorax from the abdomen, and divides man into an upper and lower half. It descends in inspiration and ascends in expiration, and ap- proximates the inner surface of the ribs. It is perforated to give passage to the oesophagus, and to the arterial and ve- nous trunks. This muscle, when it contracts, causes the ribs to descend and ; brings them together ; and thus by acting in concert with the post sternal and abdomi- nal muscles of expiration, it diminishes the cavity of the chest. The APPENDAGES OF THE DIGESTIVE CANAL are the salivary glands, the pancreas, liver, gall bladder and urinary apparatus, described in the following table. (Vide Diacrisiography.) V. Genital Apparatus of the Female.(l) Consisting of the Ovaria, of the Utero-ovaric Tubes, of the Uterus, Vagina and Vaginal Orifice. Note. All the muscles of inspiration dilate the thorax and elevate the ribs. (Vide Myography.) The muscles of expiration contract the thorax, compress the lungs, and lower the ribs. (Vide the muscles of the costal and pelvic regions.) 58 The clitoris, a small nervoso-spongy, erectile body situated at the upper part and concealed in the com- missure of the labia. 559 The extra-vaginal edges, (or labia pudendi m,ajora) formed by the skin and covered with hairs. (60 Intra-vaginal gristle (or labia minora vel nymphce,) folds formed by the vagina behind the great labia. }6l The meatus urinarius is placed immediately below the clitoris. In virgin women the lower part of the vulva is usually closed by a valvuloid membrane called the hymen, which when torn, leaves the projec- tions called carunculse myrtiformes. 111. The Circulating Apparatus. L The VAGINAL ORIFICE, (or vulva) situated under and in front of the pubic arch. The organ of venereal appetite in the female. Consisting of the Heart, of the Aorta, of the whole Arterial System, of the Venous System, and as an Appendix, the Lymphatic System. D The Heart {cor.) is the central organ of/ the circulation of the, blood. It is conoid, I muscular; and fleshy columns. It is contained within a membranous pouch called the ’pericardium. Its base is situated in the centre of the tho- rax, between the lungs and above the dia- phragm. Its point is j turned towards the left? side and it is divided! into two cavities, a' right and a left one. 19 The orifices of the thoraco-cardiac and abdomino-cardiac venous trunks, (the venae cavse, superior and infe- i rior.) . 20 Auriculo-venous valves (valvulse Eustachii.) , 21 Right auriculo-ventricular orifice. | 22 Right auriculo-ventricular valves (tricuspid.)

' The manner in which the circulation proceeds is this; the chyle which is taken up from the intra- intestinal surfaces by the chyliferous vessels, is conveyed into the abdomino-thoracic lymphatic duct, and then into the system of veins, and there mingling with the black blood, it reaches with it the I right auricle of the heart, and then enters the I right ventricle. The latter, by its muscular pow- er, sends it into the cardiaco-puhnonary duct; when it reaches the lungs it acquires the proper- ties of arterial blood; returns by the left auricle to the heart, enters the left ventricle and is thence projected into the aorta, whence it is distributed to every artery of the body. After having served the purposes of nutrition and for the functions of the capillary system, it returns by the veins, in the state of black blood to the heart again, and thus reaches the right auricle. (See the table of An- geiography for the details of the apparatus.) M The VAGINA or extra-uterine canal, a reddish, extensible, mem- branous duct, from 5 to 7 inches long. 62 Bands of longitudinal muscular fihres placed superiorly and inferiorly, 63 Transverse vaginal folds,{ox rugae) wrinkles formed by the constituent mucous and muscular membranes. 64 Mucous cryptcß.

THE APPARATUSES OF SECRETION AND EXCRETION. X. The apparatuses of secretion consist of glands or cryptse, destined to separate the various liquids met with in the animal body from the blood. The glands vary very much in size, and have all excretory ducts, intended to carry off the product of their secretion. Cryptse are little hollow bodies, which secrete as the glands do, but possess no excretory canal. The exhalant membranes offer no traces either of glands or of cryptee, but seem to act in the same way as sieves or filters. Apparatuses eperetorg tructs open upon mucous membranes.

The spinal arachnoid membrane, or the inter-spino-vertebral, also lines the whole of 1 the spinal marrow, to which it is slightly adherent. This membrane allows of the transudation of a serous fluid, called the cerebro-spinal, whose office is to lubricate the whole cerebrc-spinal surface, to favor the moving upward and downward of the brain, and to protect that organ and. the spinal marrow from sudden shocks.

The assemblage of organs which preside over the acts of the life of relation, (viz, intelligence, the sensations, motion and sensibility,) which are contained in the bony case formed by the bones of the head, and in the canal formed by the vertebral column. Central Apparatus of the Cerebro-Spinal Nervous System. Apparatus of the Ganglionic System of Nerves. This apparatus consists of a series of nervous ganglia of a reddish or grayish color, placed in man, all along from the cranium to the end of the pelvis, in the vicinity of the visceral organs; but chiefly within the thorax and abdomen, in front and on either side of the vertebral column. All the nerves of the life of relation, and which enter into ganglia, are sensible : all those which pass out from them are insensible; the latteral are very numerous and go to all the thoracic and abdomi- nal viscera, to the eye, to the nasal and buccal cavities, to the trachea and muscles of the pharynx, and to all the arteries of the body. They form large plexi, of whose precise mode of action we are as yet ignorant, but which are supposed to be intended for keeping up the regularity and mutual dependance of the functions of the viscera, and to cause them to harmonize with the acts of relative life. Be this as it may, the ganglionic apparatus is most certainly the seat of the ordering of movements not under the dominion of the will. The ganglia intercept the cerebral nervous influence ; preside over the circulation of fluids, and molecular composi- tion and decomposition. The ganglionic apparatus exists in all animals which have a distinct nervous system, and would appear to constitute that of invertebrated ani- mals exclusively; nervous communicating filaments establish and maintain the relations which these ganglia hold to each other, and as yet, nothing authorizes us to believe, that some among them produce the others ; they seem to be all linked one with another, and to be under a mutual dependance.(l) CEREBRAL APPARATUS Contained within the Cranium. Note. The description of the cerebral apparatus is that in which ancient anatomists least excelled. It includes a multitude of parts of which mention was made solely with reference to their configuration ; but whose special uses, were to them, almost entirely unknown. Equally ignorant were they which were the fundamental parts, which the first, and which the second in the order of formation, and of the ori gin of the medullary fibres, and of that of the nerves. It is only subsequently to the discovexles of modern anatomists, and of Gall, Tiedeman, Magendi, Desmoulins and Serres in particular, that it has been possible to systematize the study of this apparatus of the organism, in which we find, not a single centre, but several centres of action, all of which depend more or less upon each other, and form that general relation known bv the term consensus. ' a The pyramidal or an- terior bulbary fas- ciculi, which transect each other to theif ori- gin. Until the third month of foetal exis-i tence, they form only,! as in birds, reptiles I and fishes, a wide and ’ flat strip. Lesion of these fasci-I culi, destroys the power! of regulating the move-1 ments of volition, and' the bond of action (con- i sensus) between the cerebrum and the me- I dulla spinalis. f The posterior cerebral bulgings {thalami optici) a round and bulky mass of converging fibres, which at-I ter wards.expand in the form of a fan.( They supply a root to the 2d pair of nerves, (the optic or visual.) These masses exist at every age, and in all vertebrated animals; the bulk is always * in proportion to that of the lateral lobes. They are the nutritive foci of the loba- ry, or hemispheric fibres. Injury in- flicted on them, is destructive to the/ sight, and to the motions of the scapu-\ lary limbs. rh The cerebro-lateral lobes (or hemisphe- res) a mass of fibrous cerebral substance, which passes olf in radii from the thala- mi optici and corpora-striata, folding it- self from below upwards, above and be- \ hind, so as successively to cover the cor- ) pora striata, the thalami optici, and tu- ' bercula quadrigemina, and the cerebel- \ lum. 1 The upper internal and external surface of this Jmass is furrowed to form the convolutions. The j lower surface is divided by fissures into three lobes; an anterior, a posterior, and middle one. The cerebral lobes are the organs of intelli- gence ; their surface, including the sulci or anfrac- tuosities, are the seats of the various moral quali- K ties discovered by Gull. , 7 Fibres which expand for imme-i diate distribution to the cere- bral lobes. d Cerebral or BULBO-CEREBRAL- peduncles, which exist from the mo- ment of forma- -1 tion, but are not I covered by the I cerebral protube- I ranee until the 4th 1 month. kg Anterior cerebral bulgings f (or corpora striata) which ex- pand in the form of a fan. < \ The rudiments of these bodies I exist from the beginning; in- jury of them gives rise to a loss of motion in the pelvic limbs, j and their destruction compels/ the animal to run forward.

The circa-cerebral membrane or pia-mater, is of a vascular character, very thin, transparent, and contains a multitude of blood-vessels; its special office is to secrete the cerebral matter, to effect which end, it lines the whole periphery of the brain, penetrates into and clothes its anfractuosities, is reflected at the basis of the cranium, enters and lines the ventricles in every part, and in them, forms the choroid plex- uses. It likewise invests the medulla spinalis, and penetrates, through its furrows, into the intra-medullary canal. . , . The inter-cerebro cranial or arachnoid membrane is a serous tissue and will be found described in the Diacrisiography (v. J.) It does not pass into the sulci of the brain.

Its posterior or spinal surface consists of nervous fibres which are the prolongation of the corpora restiformia, which go without any inter- crossing to form the cerebellum; lastly, the lateral portions go to form the corpora olivaria, which give rise to the tubercula quadrigemina. , In a foetus two months old, the medulla spinalis presents a longitudinal canal in proportion to the anterior sulcus, by which the membrane called pia- mater enters. Superiorly this canal communicates with the 4th ventricle. At this age, also, the medulla occupies the whole intra-vertebral canal as far as the extremity of the sacrum; but at the 9th month stretches only to the 3d lumbar-vertebra, in the adult; lastly, the chord ends at the heighth of the Ist lum- bar-vertebra, terminating in a great lumber of nervous infra-spinal chords! (the cauda equina.) The spinal marrow is the chief agent of the transmission of the voluntary! movements, and the reservoir of innervation, or of nervous power, for the gang-; lionic apparatus. It seems also, together with the medulla oblongata, to be the foundation, or the basis of formation, of all the other parts of the nervous system. / m The trachelian (or cervical) section embracing the vertebrae of the neck, begin-\ ning at the occipital hole, and ending below by a bulging whence the nerves of the arm go off'. The destruction of this portion of the spinal- marrow annihilates the movement and sensibility / 1 of the scapulary limbs and the neck, and byitaiso, I I the action of diaphragm is prevented. ] n The dorsal section, reaching from the upper bulging as far as the lower one /in the interior of the dorsal vertebrae. When destroyed it produced a loss of mo- \ tility and sensibility in the whole trunk, '.except in the diaphragm, which has its j nerves from the cervical section. I o The lumbar section and appendix,/ j comprising the lower bulging and the infra-’ spinal nervous chords. Loss of motility and sensibility in the pelvis and lower ex-* tremities follows their destruction, and the ejaculation of semen is thereby rendered impracticable (Segalas.) I ' Lower roots of the spino-cerebro- infra-occipital nerve, (12th cerebral pair,) the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th, sth, 6th, 7th and Bth spinal pairs, arising from two roots, the one posterior and the conductor of sensibility; the other anterior, and the conductor .of motion. )The principle of motility and sensibility, of which the spinal nerves are the conductors, re- sides in the part of the spinal marrow, whence they derive their origin. According to Magendie, the destruction of the anterior fasciculi of the spinal marrow an- nihilates motion; that of the posterior bundles, sensibility. Internal hr.

(1) As all the ganglia of the head communicate with the ganglionic apparatus of the trunk, by means of the upper cervical gomglion, it was necessary to make that the rallying point in the table. The thoracic ganglia end in the central infra-diaphragmatic ganglion by means of the gangli-plexo-infra-diaphragmatic and gangli-plexo-re.nal nerves; (the direct communication of the supra-diaphragmatic, with the lateral infra-diaphragmatic, being sometimes wanting.) The great central ganglion communicates anew, with the series of abdominal and pelvic ganglia, and furnishes, in a direct manner, the nerves which constitute the plexi called infra-diaphragmatic, coeliac, gastric, hepatic, splenic, mesenteric, renal and infra-renal, testicular and ovarian. All these ganglia of interior life have received the names of cervical, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic, and the plexi which are connected with them have been named from the viscera; whilst the nerves which pass off the spinal marrow, have been called trachelian, dorsal, lumbar and sacred, from the vertebrae in whose vicinity they lie. The names which have been attached to the nerves point out, at the same time, their situation, track, place of departure, and the organ to which they are distributed. Note. It may be well to repeat here, what is said upon the second page of the work, or the Key to Systematized Anatomy, that the numerals, in this table, represent nervous filaments; that these filaments, when they emanate from a ganglion, take for their root the generic word gangli, and as a final the name of the part to which they are sent; and those which issue from plexi, begin with the word plexo or plexi. Note. The reader will, doubtless, be surprised that in a work so recent as the present, and of which, that portion which treats of the nervous system is alluded to by the author in terms of much self-gratula- tion, no mention is made of the labors of Sir C. Bell, together with those of the authors named, to whose investigations so much is attributed. Nor is this all, for in the detail of the functions of the spinal marrow, he will see attributed to Mr. Magendie, the discovery of points to which Mr. Bell has unquestionably the prior right. Mr. Bell’s rsearches upon the double functions of the nerves are certainly antece- dent to those of Mr. Magendie. Upon this subject, the reader may consult the papers by Mr. Shaw, in the London Medical Journal, vol. 48 and 49 ; Med. Chir. Trans, vol. 12; and in the Quarterly Journal, vol. 13, and by Mr. Bell, in the Phil Trans, for 1821 and 1823, or his work on the “ Nervous System of the Human Body,” embracing the papers delivered to the Royal Society on the subject of the nerves.— Translator. 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 1 ) 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th' \ spinal pairs, originating like those / above mentioned. / The medulla, considered as a whole, is the chief agent of the transmission of voluntary >motions, and of the sensibility of the trunk and limbs. It is, moreover, the reservoir of in- nervation, of nervous power for the ganglionic system of nerves, and hence in all its parts it exercises a control over the force of the heart’s contraction (Legallois.) 21st, 22d, 23d, 24th, and 25th A spinal pairs, like the above. l 6 pairs which follow constitute the I sacral nerves. Note. All the roots, anterior and pos- -1 terior, of these nerves unite in a small tu- ' bercle or ganglion, whence afterwards go off the posterior spinal nerves and the an- K terior spinal nerves. The latter pass on to form the plexi. I* Note.—The cineritious, gray, or cortical cerebro- spinal substance is in the interior of the spinal marrow whilst it is upon the outside of the cerebrum. It consti- tutes the apparatus for the nutrition of the white roe- dulnry substance. » FL.Xm y&u. HUMAN ORGANOGRAPHY. THE SYSTEM OF SPINAL NERVES. XIV.

The present system of Anatomical Plates is not only, so far as is known to the publishers, the first undertaking of the kind, of any magnitude, ever entered upon .n America, but constitutes the cheapest collection of engravings of human anatomy ever offered to the medical profession, and one eqi/ally within the reach of either student or practitioner. Several splendid works have issued from the press in France and England, or are now in course of publication ; but their high price, enhanced as it is by the commissions charged by Foreign i , yagentsj and the difficulty of procuring them with regularity, are such as to preclude the probability of their becoming generally accessible to medical men, and to confine them to the closets of the wealthy, or the libraries of a few public institutions. Tile work of which the present number is a specimen, has no such impediments.. The original engravings are very numerous, and present a complete representation of the Human Organism, drawn frcAn nature, by artists of distinction, after dissections by the able author. Upon their merits it is unnecessary for the publishers to enlarge, as examination will show at once their excellence and their utility; but they may be permitted tb say that the American engravings are in no respect inferior, either in accuracy or execution, _jo the European ones. Many defects observable in the French plates haye been remedied m the copies, which are offered in the confident assurance that they will do no discredit to our national lithography. The text of the work has been c'arefully translated, and contains a brief, but comprehensive elementary detail of anatomical science, arranged according to a system by which the author has sue* ceeded in imparting a knowledge of that branch, in a very much less time than heretofore, and hy a method infinitely less lalnfrious than has hitherto keen pursued. The author has been careful to embody in his pages the most recent physiological and anatomical opinions, particularly as it relates to the classification and organization offithe tissues,'and the functions of the nervous system ; and thus the student is presented, in a very few pages, with a most copious analysis of humafhftrganography, and with reference, containing highly minute and accurate delineations of the human frame. Apart from the value ofjhe work as a means of easily-mastering this difficult of practitioner is now furnished with a series of admirable drawings of all the parts of the body and their anatomical relations, to which he can refer, and the learner with a guide in the prosecution of his studies, than which no other of equal merit9 and equally low price, can be pro- cured. To the medical man, to the painter, sculptor' dramatic artist, and to the members of the bar, it will afford that hmitecUa-m*mnt ofyanatomical knowledge which is at all times necessary to enable them to pursue their respective avocations with reputation and advantage. t . -■ "* The work will be published complete in one vbl. printed with new type, on fine paper, and illustrated* with fifteen large folio plates, with numerous engravings on each, containing an accurate delineation of all the principal organ's of the Human Body. The following recommendations are respectfuliy submitted to those who are unacquainted with the work:— The Anatomy of Monsieur Sarlandiere, a translation of which you contemplate publishing, embraces a vast-amount of matter within a comparatively small compass. Thfg scientific and methodical arrangement, together with the synop- tical drawings which accompany and illustrate it, are admirably well calculated to facilitate the study of anatomy, and impress the relations of theKorgans of the Human Body*indelibly on the merrily. Itk my opinion, that a translation -of this work, together with a full delineation of the plates, would be a very desirable*acquisition, not only to-the medi- cal students, but also to those who are intrusted with the superintendence of their anatomical studies. New- York. • ■ ■ JOHN W. STERLING,-M. D. . I have carefully examined the Anatomical Plates of J. Sarlandiere, M. D., executed for the College of Medicine and Surgery, at Paris.* These plates are well calculated for a work of reference to the practitioners, and of great value to the student of medicine. They are drawn from nature, and possess great accuracy and finish, and it^affords me,pleasure to recommend them to the patronage of the profession, as superior to any work of the in this country. / ./• ' D. L. ROGERS, D. i New- York. * • * Late Professor of Surgery in the New-York School of Medicine. 1 have looked at the first nUmber of a series of Anatomical Plaffis copied from the French workbfiMbnsieur Sarlandiere, and published by the Messrs. Hills & Rohrer of this city. The Engravings appear to be well executed and faithfully copied from nature. The work is cftSap, and will be a desirable acquisition to the student and practitioner of medicine. * u ' : ALFRED C. POST, M. D. * New- York. Formerly Demonstrator pf Anatomy in the College of Physiology and Surgery, N. Y. I am ready to unite in the opinion of those who have pronounced the anatomical work of the Chevr. Sarlandiere, M. D., as well calculated to subserve the interest of students of medicine, and those engaged m acquiring a knowledge of the leading principles of the Anatomy of painters. moreover, as translated fiom the French, by Dr. Roberts, will'prove an acceptable volume to the proficients in medical and chirurgical science. Rarely has a book of such ample illustrations been offered at so moderate a consideration. JOHN W. FRANCIS, M, D. New- York. Late Professor of Forensic Medicine. I have looked over the work of M. Sarlandiere at the request of the publishers. The plates appear to be well exe- cuted, and the general plan of the work seems to be well calculated'to aid in the study of Anatomy. 5 •' ALEX. STEVENS, M. D. New-York. " .. Professor of Surgery. Medical Institute of Yale College. I have examined the first number of Sarlandiere’s Anatomical Plates, published by the Messrs. Hills & Rohrer, and can recommend them for their accuracy in representing the several parts of the body, and for their graphical execu- tion. They appear to me to be especially adapted fo the wants of the students of medifcine and junior members of the. profession, containing in a small compass, and at a moderate expense, delineations of the body sufficiently minute to enable them to acquire all that knowledge of its structure which can be furnished by anatomical plates, J.

E. HORNER, M. D. Pen. Inst., Philadelphia. f sv, I have carefully examined Sarlandiere’s Anatomy, translated from the French by Dr. Roberts, and have much pleasure in recommending it to the notice of the, profession, both on account of the fidelity of the lithographs and the beauty of their execution. SAM. GEORGE MORTON, M. D. Philadelphia. I have examined the first part of your edition of Sarlandiere’s Anatomy, and am much pleased with the general anatomical accuracy of the drawings, and with their beautiful execution as a work of art. I therefore cheerfully re- commend it to the medical students, and believe that the engravinngs will prove a useful assistance to all such as wish to acquire a knowledge of this difficult science. J.
