Book Description

Excerpt from Applied Anatomy, Vol. 1: Surgical, Medical, and Operative In preparing this Edition much new matter has been added, and the book rendered more complete in every respect, especially in the parts treating of Medical Anatomy. I trust the time is not far distant when a book such as this will be used by every Medical Student before he has left the dissecting-room, for there is nothing in it - excluding the mere details of Operative Surgery - that he could not get up much better, and more easily, during the time he is preparing for his Anatomical and Physiological examination: for Anatomy is but the handmaid of Surgery - but the dry bones, into which Surgery breathes the breath of life. Were such a course pursued, the examination in Surgery, instead of being the bugbear it is to so many Students, would become the easiest and most satisfactory part of the whole examination. A large number of new Illustrations have been added, the plates of which have been engraved partly by Miss E. P. Hill Burton and partly by Mr David L. Turnbull, to both of whom I now desire to express my thanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
