Excerpt from Odontography or a Treatise on the Comparative Anatomy of the Teeth; Their Physiological Relations, Mode of Development, and Microscopic Structure, in the Vertebrate Animals, Vol. 1
The present Work includes the substance of the Lectures on the Comparative Anatomy and Physiology of the Teeth, which formed part of the Hunterian Courses delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons in the years 1837, 1838, and 1839. In the first of these courses the teeth were considered in their relation to the Osseous System, and the intimate structure of their component tissues was more especially treated of: in the second, they were regarded as parts of the Digestive System, and, besides their structure, their various configurations and proportions, in subserviency to the habits and food of the different species, were described: in the third, the development of the Teeth was considered in connection with that of the epidermal appendages of the Tegumentary System, in consequence of a close analogy in the form, structure, temporary duration, and reproduction of the formative matrix.
The views of the structure and development of the Teeth, and the consequent deductions as to their place in the system of tissues, their physiological relations, and their value as zoological characters, advanced in those Lectures and in contemporary publications, are more fully and connectedly treated of in the following pages.
