Practical Dissections
Excerpt from Practical Dissections
The Practical Dissections is not a Treatise on Anatomy, nor in any way a substitute for one. It is intended to be simply a practical guide in the ordinary dissections of the Medical Student, describing on the same page, and in connection, the muscles, nerves, arteries, veins, or other structures which are conjointly exposed, and only so far as exposed, in dissecting any one of the parts into which the dead subject is usually divided. Remembering that the smallness of the size of a book is always its own recommendation, as, on the contrary, the largeness of a book is its own disadvan tage, as well as the terror of learning, all Minute Anatomy, and the details of arterial'distribution, beyond what an ordinary injection exhibits, or of nervous rami fications which only special dissections can demonstrate, have purposely been omitted, or, if introduced, as has been done almost of necessity in a few places, are ao companied by the statement that their verification in an ordinary dissection is not to be expected.
