Excerpt from An Introduction to the Osteology of the Mammalia

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, inasmuch 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.
