Book Description

Excerpt from Essays and Heads of Lectures on Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Surgery: With a Memoir of His Life, and Copious Notes Explanatory of Modern Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Practice Sir Astley Cooper, the late Professor J. Gregory, Dr Carmichael Smyth, and Dr Robertson, having made honourable mention of my Father's Lectures, of which the subjoined Essays formed a part, I have been induced to publish the following Volume, in the hope that it may prove acceptable to the public, and more especially to his surviving pupils. Various notes have been added, to enable me to supply some of those deficiencies which the progress of time has pointed out, and to rectify opinions which experience has proved to be fallacious. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in this part of the work, arising chiefly from the prescribed limits of this volume; and in reviewing my Father's Book on Fishes, no notes have been added, as these alone would have filled a large volume.
