    PREFACE. The following pages were written a few years ago for my own amusement. They were never intended to be laid before the public. Finding, however, as I proceeded in my anatomical investigations, that many of the textures which I examined, differed ma- terially from those described by the best authors, and at the same time gave jise to several physio- logical ideas of a somewhat novel nature, I began to think of publishing the result of my investiga- tions. In pursuance of this resolution, I have lately revised everything I had written, comparing it with the works of the most eminent Anatomists and Phy- siologists ; and, in the hope of rendering my inqui- ries not only more complete, but also useful, I have added, in the form of an Essay, a few remarks on Congenital Deafness, on the Diseases of the Ear, and on some Imperfections of the Organ of Speech. In my Anatomical descriptions, I have, to prevent repetitions, given a name to every part I noticed. Some of these names are the same as those already in common use: the others—though perhaps de- fective—are the best I could devise. On the other hand, although I have delineated a number of Parts not as yet, to my knowledge, noticed by any Anatomist, I have only mentioned those which I * Du Verney, Valsalva, Cassebohn, Morgagni, Winslow, Haller, Cotimnius, Soemmerring, Scarpa, Monro, E.Home, A. Cooper, Carlisle, Saunders, &c.
