Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of the Histological Series, Vol. 1: Contained in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons in London
The Council of the Royal College of Surgeons now present to the public the fifth and last volume of the descriptive and illustrated Catalogue of the Physiological series of Comparative Anatomy contained in the Museum: thus completing an important design which Mr. Hunter was prevented from accomplishing by his sudden death.
The primary objects of the Catalogue have been to give a clear and succinct description of each preparation to determine the species of animal or plant to which it belongs, to place it rightly in the proper series, and thus to afford to the visitor of the Museum every facility for studying and understanding this important department of the collection.
