A compendium of the anatomy of the human body : intended principally for the use of students ... This edition is prefixed with A compendious history of anatomy, and The Ruyschian art and method of making preparations to exhibit the structure of the human body, illustrated with a representation of the quicksilver tray and its appendages, which is not in the London edition.

"A compendious history of anatomy" and "The Ruyschian art and method of making preparations to exhibit the structure of the human body" (32 p. at front of v. 1) are by Robert Hooper, and are reprinted, with slight changes in text, from his The anatomist's vade-mecum, 4th ed., London, 1802.

This work, first published in Edinburgh in 1800, is the text only of the author's larger illustrated work published under the same title in Edinburgh in 1800.

Both volumes have also special title pages.
