Excerpt from Catalogue of the New-York Museum of Anatomy, 1863 The wonders of Embryology are fully exhibited in the interesting series of natural preparations, preserved in spirits of wine, in this division of the Institute. The labor of preparation will readily be understood by a reference to the fact that every stage of develope ment is clearly shown, from the embryo of the eighth day to the complete foetus. This extensive series of natural preparations is preceded by views of the uterus and vagina, which have also excited great interest, for their perfect illustration of the scientific anatomy of the subject.
