PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION.
In the present Edition the author adheres to his decision not to introduce Diagrams. Additional experience more than ever convinces him that they would frustrate his original object, which is to teach Students the habit of making the eye and the hand work together, and to educate the ‘touch’ upon the normal living body.
Without such practical training, how can we reasonably expect to form a correct diagnosis when called upon to examine an injury or to detect a disease? In truth, the work is intended only for those who are desirous of acquiring the habit recommended.
