Book Description

Excerpt from The Student's Guide to Surgical Anatomy: Being a Description of the Most Important Surgical Regions of the Human Body and Intended as an Introduction to Operative Surgery A considerable experience as a teacher has convinced me that there is a room for a small work on what might be termed Applied Anatomy. With the exception of my friend Mr. Galton's translation of Professor Roser's work, there is no English handbook of the kind within the reach of the generality of students. Pupils are apt to lay aside their anatomical studies after having passed their primary examination, and to be confused at finding a considerable amount of Surgical Anatomy required of them when they present themselves for their final or pass. With a view of assisting them, this work has been prepared. A knowledge of Descriptive Anatomy is presupposed, and such regions of the body as do not seem to bear directly upon the operative or more practical parts of Surgery, have been either merely referred to or entirely omitted.
