1882. This volume contains a concise description of a series of Anatomical Plates with some remarks on the practical applications of Anatomical facts to Surgery. The purpose for which the Plates are designed is with the view of carrying out the pictorial representation of dissections. The part of the Human Body to be illustrated is divided into suitable stages or regions, and the muscles, blood vessels and nerves of each region are shown in layers in the natural order of succession so that their mutual connections may be brought before the eye at one and the same time. All of the figures are drawn life-size from actual dissections and are printed in colors with the object of making them as true to Nature as possible.
