    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Feb. 10, 2018)
    Excerpt from Essays and Observations on Natural History, Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, and Geology, Vol. 2Comparative Anatomy is fit only to be read by those that understand a good deal of the human body and the general animal economy; for if they do not understand the standard, they cannot understand the variations from it. It is too great a task for any indi vidual to make it any way perfect, for he must dissect most animals to be able to class them, and arrange them in such order as to make them intelligible and easier for others to pursue this species of know ledge. For example, if we find that all the lion-tribe are the same [in structure], it will save others from dissecting all this class, or it will enable us to dissect or examine them with much more accuracy.When I compared the human with the quadruped (not considering the intended uses of [the parts in] each, which would make me admire them equally), it always put me in mind of two machines of the same kind, one made by an artist, the other only an imitation of it made by a novice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
