Excerpt from Holden's Anatomy: A Manual of Dissection of the Human Body In this edition the Editor has most carefully revised the entire work. The order of dissection has been here and there altered, and further illustrations and additional matter introduced, especially concerning the Anatomy of the Nervous System and the Organs of Special Sense. The object throughout has been to be as concise as possible, and to put the subject in as clear and practical a light as is compatible with the faithful handling of its natural difficulties. It is hoped that the work, in its present form, is adapted, not only for students, but for members of the profession who wish to refresh their anatomical knowl edge.
