Abstract
WHEN it was announced some time ago that the Professor of Anatomy in the University of Cambridge was engaged in writing a systematic work on Human Anatomy, its publication was looked for with anticipation and interest. Prof. Macalister deservedly enjoys a high reputation as a man of remarkable culture in many branches of knowledge, and as an anatomist in the comprehensive meaning of the term. Curiosity was excited, therefore, as to the made in which he would treat the subject: whether he would follow the old lines pursued by so many of those who have preceded him in the writing of text-books, or if he would strike out a new path for himself.
A Text-book of Human Anatomy, Systematic and Topographical.
Including the Embryology, Histology, and Morphology of Man, with special reference to the requirements of Practical Surgery and Medicine. By Alex Macalister., Professor of Anatomy in the University of Cambridge. (London: Charles Griffin and Co., 1889.)
