Excerpt from The Morbid Anatomy of Some of the Most Important Parts of the Human Body For the last seven years I have been so much engaged in the practical duties of my profession, as only to have had occasional opportunities of inspecting dead bodies. I have, therefore, scarcely been able to make any additions to this work, but I have made such corrections of it, as more reflection and experience have suggested to me, and I hope it will be found to be considerably improved. The Second Edition of this Treatise was translated at Paris about three years ago by Dr. Ferrall into the French language. The translation is made with great fidelity; but as it is neither accompanied with notes, nor with the addition of any new cases, I have not been able to derive advantage from it in preparing this Third Edition for the press.
