PREFACE.

In the Introduction to these papers the Author has given the reasons which his friends have urged for this publication ; but he cannot let this opportunity pass without making an apology for its imperfections.

It was not his original intention to publish in this manner, but to continue to give distinct dissertations, under the auspices of the Royal Society, and afterwards to publish engravings of the nervous system.
