    in Dr. Douglas' Appendix, Avill find ample in¬ formation in the delineations and description of these parts given in the second book of Camper's Demoiistrationes Anatoinico -patho- logicce. That great anatomist and skilful draughtsman, has had the merit of intro¬ ducing into this particular branch of anatomy, a degree of accuracy and precision, of which the subject seemed to be scarcely susceptible. His views may be copied or imitated, but I despair of ever seeing them excelled. I am, GENTLEMEN, with sincere regard. Your most obedient and devoted servant, JOHN THOMSON.
