Synopsis Lectures on the Elements of Comparative Anatomy by : Thomas Henry Huxley

"Contains, substantially, the lectures ... delivered, in the spring of 1863, at the Royal college of surgeons of England ..." Known primarily as the protagonist of evolution in the controversies immediately following the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species late in 1859, zoologist Huxley studied and wrote on a wide range of subjects, including education, philosophy, evolution and religion. "In 1863 he delivered a course of lectures at the College of Surgeons 'On the Classification of Animals, ' and another 'On the Vertebrate Skull'. The scrupulous care with which he endeavored to verify by actual observation every statement made in his lectures rendered the labor of preparation very great. Sir William Flower describes the way in which he would spend long evenings at the College of Surgeons, dissecting animals available among the stores, or making rapid notes and drawings, after a day's work in Jermyn Street. The consequences were twofold; the vivid impression of his own recent experience was communicated to his hearers, and the work of preparation became at once an incentive to further research and a means of pursuing it" (DNB).

Synopsis Outlines of Comparative Anatomy and Medical Zoology by : Harrison Allen

Excerpt from Outlines of Comparative Anatomy and Medical Zoology In the spring of 1866, a desire was expressed by the Class to have the author's Lectures on Comparative Anatomy and Zoology published for distribution. Nothing definite, however, was determined upon until the following spring, when arrangements were entered into which have resulted in the appearance of this little volume. It is in many respects somewhat fuller than a synopsis, which, however, in general features, it resembles. Although prepared in answer to the expressed needs of a class composed chiefly of Medical Students, it is hoped that it may not be without value to the cultivators of rational anatomy elsewhere. In the attempt, apparent in different portions of the book, to frame general definitions and give brief classifications of anatomical systems, the author is fully aware of the liability to error thus incurred. Any conclusions based upon the present state of a science so actively cultivated as Comparative Anatomy may eventually prove of but doubtful utility. It is easy to group about assumed standpoints the observations of others, but more difficult to preserve in such arrangements harmony between the old and new facts.
