    TO THE SECOND AMERICAN EDITION. The very rapid sale of the first edition of this work, is evidence of its appreciation by the profession, and is most gratifying to the author and American editor. In preparing the present edition, no pains have been spared to render it as complete a Manual of Anatomy for the medical student as possible. A chapter on Histo- logy has therefore been prefixed, and a considerable number of new^ cuts added. Among the latter are included some very fine ones of the nerves, w^hich were almost wholly omitted from the original work. Great care has also been taken to have this edition correct, and the cuts carefully and beautifully worked, and it is confidently believed that it will give satisfaction, offering a further inducement to its general use as a Text Book in the various colleges. Philadelphia, July, 1844.
