« The desire to acquire a knowledge of the structure of some portion at least of the
Animal Kingdom, now becoming so general, is often checked by the difficulty of determining
where to make a beginning amid the vast extent and variety of the materials at hand.
I have selected for my first course of lectures on Comparative Anatomy at the Royal
College of Surgeons, the structure and modifications of the Skeleton, because, as
the framework around which the rest of the body is built up, it gives, more than any
other system, an outline of the general organization of the whole animal, and also
because it is the most convenient for study, on account of the facility with which
it can be preserved and examined.
Moreover, Osteology has special importance in comparison with the study of any other
system, in as much as large numbers of animals, all in fact of those not at present
existing on the earth, can be known to us by little else than the form of their bones.
In endeavouring to gain anatomical knowledge, it signifies little with which group
of animals a commencement is made.[…]
