    There arc a great many Doors cauuu .... and physiology, that are good, and useful, to the sci- entific, and which reflect much credit upon their differ- ent authors. But the query is, are they adapted to the capacity of common readers? If then, the nega- tive is put upon this question, the fact is at once e 1, that a work on anatomy suited to the capacity ; of people in general is needed. Such a work I have aimed at in the following pa- ges. It is true, that many technical terms are used, .! most cases they are followed by an explanation, or if not immediately explained, an explanation < found in the glossary at the sequel. I have now only to add, that I have written and published this book because I believed that such an one was needed, and would be useful. WM. SriLLM Marijville, Tenn. June 1st, 1835.
