    in Dr. Douglas’ Appendix, will find ample in- formation in the delineations and description of these parts given in the second book of Camper’s Demonstrationes Anatomico - patho- logic#. That great anatomist and skilful draughtsman, has had the merit of intro- ducing into this particular branch of anatomy, a degree of accuracy and precision, of which the subject seemed to be scarcely susceptible. His views may be copied or imitated, but I despair of ever seeing them excelled. I am GENTLEMEN with sincere regard, Your most obedient and devoted servant, JOHN THOMSON.
