A Text-Book of Anatomy: By American Authors (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Anatomy: By American Authors

The authors have unceasingly endeavored to facilitate the work Of both student and teacher. Both are tested in every examination, and particularly in those con ducted by State Licensing Boards. Accordingly, from the vast accumulations of anatomical science those portions have been selected which are likely to be of actual service to the student in his subsequent study, and to the practitioner in his clinical work. Emphasis has been laid upon the most important facts, Obscurities have been clarified, the greatest amount of help has been given in the parts which are most difficult to learn, and everything has been illustrated by all available methods. In short no effort has been Spared to promote facility of acquisition and permanence of the knowledge gained.

The arrangement of the book is along familiar lines, the ordinary divisions of systematic anatomy having been followed in the main. Each author has set forth his subject in such manner as experience has shown him to be profitable. Great relative stress has been laid upon visceral structure, without neglect of other branches; surface anatomy has received attention more in proportion to its use fulness than is usual, and the pictorial and diagrammatic illustrations (thanks to the remarkable liberality of the publishers) are phenomenally abundant and of striking artistic excellence. Wherever practicable the names of the parts have been engraved directly upon them, a method which has the great advantage Of conveying at a glance their shape, position, extent and relations.
