Excerpt from The Principles of Anatomy as Seen in the Hand Some years ago it was by no means uncommon to hear medical men express the Opinion that Human Anatomy, as a subject for scientific research, had been exhausted long ago. And indeed, when one compares many modern works upon the subject with the products of the Golden Age of Anatomy as Andreas Vesalius established it in 1543, it seems that the inter vening centuries have produced but little save the invention of the colour process for the reproduction of illustrations. Human Anatomy has appeared to many as a subject in which advance was impossible, and it must be owned that compared with the younger branches of Physiology, Pathology, and Biology, it offered but few attractions in the way of unsolved problems to any inan determined to devote his energies to the scientific side of medicine. Anatomy has suffered in consequence, and in England especially there has been a tendency for it to fall behind in the wonderful march of progress that medicine has made during the last half-century. Some, not content with regarding it as an exhausted subject, have attempted to mini mise its utility to the medical practitioner, and even its most enthusiastic teachers must admit that from legislative neglect, and from failure to appreciate its importance by those respon sible for the ordering of Education in this country, its practice and its pl'opel' advancement have been very seriously hampered.
