Anatomical and Histological Dissection of the Human Ear

Excerpt from The Anatomical and Histological Dissection of the Human Ear: In the Normal and Diseased Condition A Glance at the original work convinced me that I had to deal with a task different from that which falls to the lot of one who undertakes to render into readable English an ordinary handbook of Otology, where considerable latitude of style is allowed. In the present work, where precise rules as to special dissections and modes of preparing the various parts of the organ of hearing are given, it has frequently been unavoidable to translate almost literally. I hope, however, that reasonable limits have not been exceeded when it was found advisable to sacrifice smoothness of style to faithful rendering of very minute, though most important details, in the exhaustive treatment of the subject by so eminent an authority as Professor Politzer. Attention is called to the lettering in 29 of the 164 illustrations, which were printed from cliches used for the English edition of the Author's Text-Book of Diseases of the Ear.
