    AMERICAN PUBLISHERS' ADVERTISEMENT. The very recent and careful revision which this work has received at the hands of the author, has rendered unnecessary any extended additions in again preparing it for the American student. Such few notes as were deemed desirable have been added by Dr. J. Aitken Meigs, who has superintended the passage of the volume through the press, and who has introduced a large number of new and superior illustrations, which, it is hoped, will render the facts advanced more easy of comprehension. Care has been exer- cised, however, in these additions, not to interfere in any way with the intentions of the author to render the work simply a succinct account of the facts and generally admitted principles of Phy- siology. The author's text has been preserved throughout without omis- sion or modification. Such notes as have been added will be found distinguished by enclosure in brackets [ ]. As in the former American Edition, the steel plates of the origi- nal have been engraved on wood, and scattered through the text, in their appropriate places, as more convenient for reference; and the title of Manual has been retained, in place of Handbook, as being better suited to the character of the work. The editorial supervision to which it has been subjected in its passage through the press is a guarantee that the present edition will in no way detract from the reputation which the work has so deservedly attained. Philadelphia, April, 1857. 1* OO
