Excerpt from Text-Book of Anatomy

The numerous illustrations which appear in the text are all new in the sense that in no case has an old drawing or an old block been used. Further, the vast majority of the illustrations are new in the sense that they are Original. The very few that are not have been taken from monographs dealing with the subjects so illustrated, and in every case the source from which these have been obtained is acknowledged in the text. The drawings for each section were prepared under the personal supervision of its author, and, with the exception of the figures in two chapters, they are the work of Mr. J. T. Murray. This talented artist has devoted much time to the undertaking, and the reader can judge for himself the success which has attended his efforts. The Editor cannot sufficiently express his indebtedness to Mr. Murray for the great technical skill and the patience which he brought to bear upon this extremely try1ng and difficult work. The chapter on Osteology has been illustrated by Mr. W. C. Stevens that upon Embryology by the authors themselves; whilst the microscopical drawings in the section on the Brain and Cord were executed by Mr. Wm. Cathie. It is also necessary to mention that the coloured outlines representing the attachments of the muscles on the figures of the bones were mapped in by Professor A. M. Paterson.

The Editor has to thank his former Assistant, Professor A. F. Dixon of Cardiff, for much help in the correction of the proofs.
