Aphorisms in Applied Anatomy

Excerpt from Aphorisms in Applied Anatomy: Or Anatomy for the Final Examinations and Operative Surgery, Including 100 Typical Viva Voce Questions in Surface Marking, Etc; Being Notes of Demonstrations to His Surgery Class This little book may be taken as little more than a syllabus of the work done in the Author's courses of operative surgery, preceded by a few notes on the leading points in applied anatomy and surface marking. It is a characteristic of a syllabus, and of notes, to mention leading points only. This is particularly the case with the "aphorisms," for the following reasons:- Firstly. - The aphorisms are intended to present such facts only as are susceptible of being tersely stated, and are also easily understood, and easily applied in various ways. Secondly. - Only those operations are referred to in the aphorisms which it has been considered most advantageous for the average student to perform; and these are outlined only, and mainly from the cadeveric, as opposed to the practical surgical, standpoint.
