    yCASfcNftL / PREFACE Several full and accurate descriptions of the Arteries have already been published; but their size and prolixity have rendered them of little value to the dissector. It is therefore presumed that a concise de- scription of the A^'teries of the human body, illustrated by plates accurately coloured, and containing all the improve- ments of the moderns, is still wanting. Accordingly, those who anciently culti- vated anatomy, as well as the restorers of that science, were principally occupied . in describing the 13lood-vesseIs, and explor- ing their distributions, directions, and va- rieties ; which laudable industry has been so well supported by modem anatomists. 0t
