Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Human Skeleton: Including the Joints
The additional information, thus collected, forms, in great part, the material of the present volume; which does not profess to give a regular description of the bones, and is not, therefore, intended as a substitute for any of the existing manuals of anatomy; but is, rather, supplementary to them.
The description of the joints has been made more complete than that of the bones; because it is less fully given in other works; and because an accurate know ledge of the structure and peculiar forms of the joints is essential to a correct knowledge of their movements.
