Excerpt from Potter's Compend of Human Anatomy The twenty years which have elapsed Since this compend was first issued have brought many changes of nomenclature and description into the teaching of Anatomy. The present edition has been entirely te-written and brought into harmony with the latest text-books on this subject. The text has been expanded wherever greater detail seemed desirable, but in so doing the condensed form of statement heretofore adopted has been carefully followed. The total number of illustrations has been increased from 117 to 138, and many of the cuts used in former editions have been replaced by newer ones. The Tables and Plates, heretofore published in an appendix, have been thoroughly revised, and are now placed in their natural positions in the text. These changes have increased the size of the volume by 82 pages, and have made it practically a new book, which the author hopes will receive a continu ance of the favor heretofore extended to the previous editions.
