Excerpt from Clinical Applied Anatomy: Or the Anatomy of Medicine and Surgery In 1862 there appeared a work which is now classical, "Rest and Pain," by John Hilton. In the preparation of the present volume we have endeavored to follow, in some degree, the lines suggested by that author, and to indicate the important influence of Anatomy on the incidence and progress of disease, disorder, and injury of the human body. We are fully conscious that we have but inadequately fulfilled the task we have imposed upon ourselves. There are many omissions; and explanations are not always so complete or convincing as we could desire. We have aimed throughout at keeping the book within reasonable limits, and have avoided the inclusion of highly controversial points. So many excellent treatises on Applied Anatomy have made their appearance of recent years that it might be thought that there was neither room nor necessity for another. The present work, however, differs from these in that it deals with the purely clinical side of the subject, and is written from a practitioner's rather than an anatomist's point of view. Hence all anatomical points which are not essential are omitted. The anatomy of surgical procedures, which is already amply detailed in various manuals of operative surgery, is purposely passed over. We trust that the book will prove of service to the senior student and to the practitioner, and show that Systematic Anatomy has not yet said its last word in the education of the clinician.

Excerpt from Medical Applied Anatomy: For Students and Practitioners For the last four years it has been my privilege to conduct a short course of lectures on Medical Applied Anatomy in connexion with the Edinburgh post-graduate Courses in Medicine and Surgery. At the suggestion of Dr. J. D. Comrie, the Medical Editor of the Edinburgh Medical Series, these lectures have been collected and expanded and are now issued in book form. As the realms of Medicine and Surgery are not sharply separated from one another, it has been a matter of some difficulty to avoid encroaching on the domain of Surgical Applied Anatomy, but the endeavour has been made to restrict the subject-matter so as to present, at moderate length, the more important applications of Anatomy to the study of Clinical Medicine. On this account, the subject has been treated according to Systems and not according to Regions, and it is hoped that the grouping of muscles with their nerves of supply under the Nervous System will be found useful by the reader. In collecting the material for this book, I have necessarily been indebted to the published works of numerous authors, and, more particularly, I' wish to express my great indebted ness to the writings of Mackenzie, Sahli, and Purves Stewart. For numerous suggestions and much helpful advice, always freely and willingly given, I owe my warmest thanks to Dr. J. D. Comrie. In addition, I gratefully acknowledge the help given me by Dr. A. Murray Drennan, who assisted in the laborious task of proof-reading, and by Dr. E. B. Jamieson, whose criticisms have always been of the greatest value.

Excerpt from Surgical Applied Anatomy Applied anatomy has, I imagine, a twofold func tion. On the one hand it serves to give a precise basis to those incidents and procedures in practice that more especially involve anatomical knowledge; on the other hand it endues the dull items of that knowledge with meaning and interest by the aid of illustrations drawn from common medical and surgical experience. In this latter aspect it bears somewhat the same relation to Systematic Anatomy that a series of experiments in Physics bears to a treatise dealing with the bare data of that science. The student of Human Anatomy has Often a nebulous notion that what he is learning will sometime prove of service to him and may be conscious also that the study is a valuable, if somewhat unexciting, mental exercise. Beyond these impressions he must. Regard his efforts as concerned merely in the accumulation of a number of hard, unassimilable facts. It should be one object of Applied Anatomy to invest these facts with the interest derived from an association with the circumstances of daily life; it should make the dry bones live.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Applied Anatomy IN undertaking a work upon Applied Anatomy my object has been to provide an account of the regional anatomy of the human body in its more important applications to Medicine and Surgery. It has been my conviction for many years that the subject of anatomy might with advantage be taught to students of medicine more from the applied standpoint and less as an abstract science. Some years ago, at the instigation of Professor Cunningham, a course of lectures in Applied Anatomy was made obligatory in the Medical School of Trinity College, and has been productive of the most gratifying results. Were anatomical teaching conducted more generally on these lines, it would, I have no doubt, help to bridge over the wide gap which separates the dissecting room from the surgical theatre, and render the transition from the one to the other less abrupt; the subject would possess more attraction for the student, it would be more easily remembered, and certainly more useful. Although I have endeavoured to treat the subject of Applied Anatomy in a general way, yet, in the main, the book is surgical; indeed, in some respects its scope might have been more correctly expressed by giving it the title Surgery from the Anatomical Standpoint. The general plan adopted in the arrangement of the text is one which I have found by experience most popular with students in the lecture theatre. Each region is introduced by a concise account of its topographical anatomy, developmental details being supplied where necessary, and subsequently the more important lessons - medical, surgical, and pathological - which are to be derived from it are presented for consideration.

Excerpt from Applied Surgical Anatomy, Regionally Presented, for the Use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine The study' of Anatomy is relieved of much of its difficulty when it is approached on the practical side. Isolated details do not appeal to the faculty of interest, but when they are set forth in their natural relationship, and their practical application is pointed out, the mind grasps and recollects them with facility. As Anatomy is the most basic of all the medical sciences, a working knowledge of its data is indispensable for the study and practice of scientific medicine and sur gery. The author has endeavored to embody these principles in the present work, and to do it in such a manner as to answer the needs of both students and practitioners. The plan of the work has been developed from twelve years' experience in teaching Anatomy. The author believes the form of presentation he has followed to be the best for didactic lectures, and that descriptive Anatomy is most advantageously learned from text books and in the dissecting room. The regional and topographical method of treating Applied Anatomy is likewise the most convenient for clinical purposes. It is scarcely necessary to state that in order not to exceed the proper limits of a book designed for clinical and didactic purposes a most careful selection had to be made from the vast aggregate of knowledge constituting the modern science of anatomy. If in parts the text may appear quite as much like an anatomical surgery as a surgical anatomy, it is because of the author's belief that this is the best way to Complete the study of anatomy and to begin the study of surgery.

Excerpt from Surgical Anatomy It IS hoped that the aim will commend itself to medical men, and to students of surgery and of anatomy, and that they Will find the detail given sufficient to obviate frequent reference to systematic text-books of anatomy. Generally, the author has followed the teaching of the standard British and Continental Works, and to these he gladly. Acknowledges his indebtedness. On a number of points, however-as, for example, regarding the function of the periosteum - he has followed that of his teacher, Sir William Macewen, whose opinions are based not merely upon clinical experience, but also in many cases upon long Series of experiments.
