A Text-Book Embryology for Students of Medicine
Description:... Excerpt from A Text-Book Embryology for Students of Medicine
In the presentation of the second edition of this book the effort has been made not only to make such additions and alterations as the progress of the science rendered necessary, but to correct whatever errors existed in the first edition, and to improve the work generally as much as might be. For kindly suggestions along these lines the author would express his thanks to the various reviewers who have from time to time noticed the work; he would also express his profound appreciation of the generous spirit in which the book has been received.
The publication of the monograph of Peters upon the embedding of the ovum and the formation of the placenta followed by the work of Webster, whose researches confirm the results of Peters' investigations, practically setting aside, as it does, the previous views upon these processes, necessitated radical changes in the text. Therefore the chapter treating of the Deciduæ and the Placenta has been rewritten, as has also the greater part of the section upon the Chorion.
In addition to these changes, several new illustrations have been added.
