Excerpt from Illustrations of Dissections in a Series of Original Colored Plates the Size of Life, Vol. 1: Representing the Dissection of the Human BodyThe Illustrations comprise views of the Head and Neck, the upper Limb, the Perinaeum, the Abdominal parietes, the Pelvis, and the lower Limb. All the Figures are drawn of life-size from actual dis sections, and they are printed in colors with the object of making them as true pictures as possible of Nature, and more serviceable as Copies for the student to imitate. Only such dissections were pre pared for the Drawings as may be commonly seen in the practical Anatomy Room, and the minute detail, whose counterpart the stu dent with average manual dexterity could not produce without some difficulty and loss of time, was intentionally omitted. Delineations of the ligaments, the viscera of the cavities of the Body, and the organs of the Senses, are not included in the Plates now published.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
