✦ Synopsis
spermatic cord, the lymphatics and nerves of the testis and the cremasteric artery should be mentioned.
As a guide to dissection this book is open to some criticism when compared with the for so long unrivalled and so widely used Cunningham's Manual of Practical Anatomy. By being too brief and too matter-of-fact it fails to set a sufficiently high standard. Not the least of the attractions of Cunningham and one which has delighted generations of students, is the style in which it is written, e.g., "By their simultaneous contraction they (the transverse perinei) steady the central point of the perineum. . . . But what is the central point of the perineum ? It is . . .", etc. Nothing comparable is to be found in the present manual, but when we have said this we must admit our admiration for the enterprise of its authors and their admirable aim of associating development, structure, and function in such a way as to lessen the student's burden. The book must be regarded as an experiment, the result of which will be watched with interest, but should this new approach to dissection become popular with teachers and students, some expansion as well as revision and correction will be desirable in future editions.
