    2 no more accurate anatomist lives. I may therefore be permitted, Gentlemen, to hope that these Engravings, executed with the utmost care by a distinguished artist, and constantly superintended during their execution by my friend and for- mer assistant, Mr T. Wharton 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 diminish the extent of actual dissection. Previous experience has made me confident 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 at- tention, 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.
