Excerpt from Outlines of the Arteries: With Short Descriptions
It may be asked, Why it was thought necessary to add another set of anatomical plates to those already published 1 or whether the work of Quain and Wilson, or of Bourgery, is not sufficient for all anatomical and surgical purposes i In answer to these questions, we would inform the reader, that this little book is not intended for minute anatomists or surgeons, but for students commencing the study of Arteries. The costly and elegant works of the day are not accessible to all students, and beginners are fatigued with the numerous references consequent upon their elaborate character.
At the request of several students to furnish them with an easy yet accurate mode of learning the Arteries, these drawings were prepared. They pretend to nothing more than Outlines yet they are not mere diagrams or fancy sketches, since many of them were drawn from preparations. Minute detail has been sacrificed to clearness and simplicity of arrangement; and in order to avoid the tediousness of examining references, the names have been placed upon the arterial trunks, so that the position of a vessel and its name strike the eye at the same time.
