    1NTRCXD-UCT ION* i AT is the intention of the writer, in the follow- ing Compendium, to present to the student a useful anatomical conspectus, or pocket manual of anatomy and physiology ; giving a> short but accurate description of the different parts of the human body and their functions > with a glossa- ry, or explanation of the principal, terms used in that science. The utility of such a performance will be generally acknowleged, especially when it is considered that there is no such, work written upon a similar plan~ The motive that induced the author to form and collect together, in one small pocket vol- ume, this elementary production, was his hav- ing himself experienctd the want of such an as- sistant when applying to that branch of philoso- phy. He, therefore, solicits permission to re- commend it to students, not as a work wherein any thing new is to be met with, but merely as •heir occasional companion in the prosecution of their studies.
