Human osteogeny explained in two lectures, read in the anatomical theatre of the surgeons of London, July the first and second, anno 1731. In which not only the beginning and gradual increase of the bones of human foetuses are described; but also the nature of ossification is considered, and the general notion, that all bones are formed from cartilages, is demonstrated to be a mistake. By Robert Nesbitt, M.D. fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and of the Royal Society, and reader of anatomy at Surgeons Hall.
