Excerpt from A Description of the Human Muscles: With Their Several Uses, and the Synonyma of the Best AuthorsSeveral full and accurate descriptions of the Muscles have already been published. But their size and prolixity have rendered them of less value to the dissector than the small Trea tise of Dr. Douglas, which was first published about the beginning of this century, and, since that time, has undergone various impressions, without receiving any improvement, excepting the addition of the synonyma from Albinus. It is therefore presumed, that a simple and concise description of the muscles, which should contain all the improvements of the modems, is still wanting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
