Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Anatomy and Functions of the Muscles of the Hand and of the Extensor Tendons of the Thumb
Three hands. If it be asked why a special study of parts of the Human Body, which have been long known, should occupy the attention of the anatomist, when there are so many oppor tunities for fresh research, I will say that the investigator will be amply rewarded in thus re-examining regions that have been studied by former anatomists; he will often discover serious misconceptions of previous observers, and be able to correct.
