    made accurately from the subject, it will therefore answer all the purpo- ses required. Of twenty bodies, not one, perhaps, will be found fit for drawing ; but still I conceive that we are not to work out a drawing by piecing and adding from notes and preparations ; we are to select care- fully from a variety of bodies, that which gives largeness ae parts, where the characters of parts are well mark- ed, and where there is the most na- tural and. usual distribation of ves- sels. In making our drawings of such dissections, let us allow our- selves no licence, but copy accurate- ly. By noting in the description any little deviation, every necessary end is answered.
