    sented by transverse lines; the nerves and glistening tendons by dotted points placed horizontally ; and shaded the remaining organs and parts in different ways, according to their natural appearance. The lithographic printers, among whom C. F. Muller of Carlsruch is pre-eminent, have transferred these plates to stone under my own inspection, and after the most approved rules of the art. When in any of the plates many arteries are represented, the branches are very often so small and frequent, that in linear plates it would be im- possible to refer conveniently, by means of figures, to each individual one. I have, therefore, omitted referring to the smaller twigs, lest by too great a number of references I should impair the perspicuity of the whole. However, I deem it necessary to remind you, that if in any particulars the references may slightly differ, and not exactly fall upon the point in- dicated, this is owing to the barrenness of the minutias; in those places in which this could not be avoided, what is meant will be easily under- stood by men but moderately skilled in the science.
