Synopsis
Excerpt from The House I Live In: Or the Human Body: For the Use of Families and Schools
This work has now been revised, probably for the last time. Its author will not probably ever be able - from the nature of the case - to render it much more perfect. In the present revised edition, he has freely availed himself of the suggestions of Mr. Girtin, a British surgeon, who has recently prepared an edition of the work for the children of both sexes in the schools of England; - some of whose improvements are truly valuable. He has also profited, as he trusts, from the suggestions of several medical gentlemen on this side of the Atlantic.
