Abstract
THIS small volume focuses attention upon the principles underlying the branch of science which is the most neglected of all at the present time, anatomy. It is true that professors of anatomy are attached to the medical schools of Great Britain and other countries; but most of their work is concerned with matters which bear a similar relation to anatomy that a knowledge of the sites and situations of the bottles on the shelves of a chemical laboratory bears to chemistry. Morphology, as Dr. Crow rightly observes, has few practical applications except in medicine and psychology. These are not dealt with in his book. Therein is presented “the analysis of the principles of a pure science”.
