The execution of this part of the 'circle' has been confided to that great philosophical anatomist who has so distinguished himself in working out the true principles of Osteology - principles which will doubtless soon be applied to the nomenclature and description of every branch of Anatomical Science. Avoiding the com mon practice of intrusting the special essays to literary compilers and abridgers, it has been part of the design of the work - hitherto with success - to engage, in the important task of teaching, those master-spirits who have in their day effected the greatest improvements, and made the most decided advances in their respective depart ments of science. The result has been, as is especially shown in the Essay on the Principal Forms of the Skeleton, an original exposition of the principles of Anatomical Science, and of the most important results that have been attained by its latest cultivator; such exposition being succinct without any important omission, and as clear and comprehensible as is consistent with the inevitable use of technical terms.
