    recompiend these Engravings of the Arteries, (intended to be laid on the dis- secting-table as a guide for your dissections,) farther than merely to observe that they are exactly copied from the celebrated Work on the Arteries by Pro- fessor TiEDEMANN of Heidelberg, than whom no more accurate anatomist lives. I may therefore be permitted. Gentlemen, to hope that these Engravings, exe- cuted with the utmost care by a distinguished artist, and constantly superin- tended during their execution by my friend and former assistant, Mr. T. Whauton Jones, who, being at once the anatomist and artist, has left nothing for me to criticise, will prove eminently useful to you, and in no respect di- minish the extent of actual dissection. Previous experience has made me con- fident they will not; for, if the anatomy of the Nerves be a matter of deep and general interest, the anatomy of the Arteries has claims on your attention, on the score of utility, which throw into the shade, comparatively, all other kinds of professional acquirements. I have the honour to be. Gentlemen, Your most obedient and faithful Servant, ROBERT KNOX.
