Compleat system of the blood-vessels and nerves / taken from Albinus's edition of Eustachius, also from Ruysch, Vieussens, Du Verney, Haller, Trew, and J.B. Surgeon at Avignon; with tables of explanation, containing the text of Eustachius, Albinus, etc. Translated into English. To which are prefixed three whole-length anatomical figures, representing the external parts of the human body in both sexes.
