About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from A Series of Anatomical Plates: With References and Physiological Comments, Illustrating the Structure of the Different Parts of the Human Body

This. Publication consists of a series of the most approved Anatomical Drawings, selected from monograph treatises or from systematic works. The highest place in the former class is deservedly conceded to the works of Scarpa and Tiede - mann, and in the latter, to those of Mascagni and Caldani; but, from their size, and the style in' which they are executed, the, expense of publication is necessarily such as to confine their usefulness to comparatively few persons. It may, however, be fairly admitted,'that the collections of vcloquet and Loder, though not of equal pretension, are no less valuable to students, as a guide to the knowledge of that complex fabric, whose composition they seek to investigate; and tothose of maturer age, as a meansof reviving impressions received during their earliergstudies. As, however, even the works last named, from their price, are inaccessible-to some, and to others from the descriptions and references being given in a foreign language, the want of a similar publication in an English garb has been for some time complained of.
