Proposals for publishing A system of anatomy and physiology, human and comparative. In two volumes quarto. By Busick Harwood, M.D. F.R.S. and S.A. Professor of Anatomy in the University of Cambridge. In which the Structure of the Human Body, and of all the different Classes of Animals, will be investigated; their several Organs compared with the corresponding Parts in the Human Species; and their various Functions more fully explained than has hitherto been attempted by Analogy. The above Work will be printed at the Expence of the University, and the Syndics of the University Press will fix the Price of it upon Publication. - But as a great Number of very expensive Plates will be requisite for the Illustration of the various Subjects upon which it must necessarily treat, the Author solicits a Subscription of Two Guineas for the Engravings, Half to be paid at the Time of subscribing, and the Remainder upon the Delivery of the last Volume. Subscriptions are received by Messrs. White, Fleet Street; Mr. Walter, Charing Cross, London; Messrs. J. & J. Merrill, and Mr. Lunn, Cambridge; Mr. J. Cooke, Oxford Mrs. Duncan, Edinburgh; Mr. Horden, Peterborough; and Mrs. Jenkinson, Huntingdon. The Impressions will be delivered to the Subscribers according to the Date of their Subscriptions; and the Price of the Engravings to Nonsubscribers will be doubled.
