Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anatomical Technology as Applied to the Domestic Cat: An Introduction to Human, Veterinary, and Comparative Anatomy This work has grown out of our needs as instructors of students preparing for practical work in Human, Veterinary, or Comparative Anatomy. Most of it has been employed in the anatomical laboratory of Cornell University for from one to four years, and we have been led to believe that it may prove useful elsewhere. Some of our laboratory students aim to be professional naturalists, agriculturists, or veterinarians, but most of them intend to study Medicine or to teach Physiology with other branches in schools and colleges. The latter desire to gain a personal acquaintance with the organs whose functions they are to discuss, and the former require, in addition, a familiarity with anatomical methods and literature; few of them have had any practical training in Biology. The guides to vertebrate dissection by Straus-Durckheim, Morrell, Rolleston, Krause, Huxley and Martin, Foster and Langley, Bernard, Martin and Moale, and Mojsisovics, present many admirable features, but four of them are in French or German, and none have fully answered our requirements. Of the works above named, several imply that either the frog or the human body has been previously dissected; hence, presumably, the brevity of the directions, the lack of descriptions of instruments and methods, and the fewness or absence of illustrations. They are based upon the frog, turtle, dog, rat or rabbit, or on animals in general, and the ordinary anthropotomical terms of description, upper, lower, etc., are almost uniformly employed. Some dwell only upon points of physiological importance, and in nearly all the references to other publications are few and general.
