ave
been used. It was re-published by University Tutorial Press.

The First Edition, as well as The Second and Revised Edition
(with dissections redrawn by Miss A. C. Robbins) are used in this
e-text. The First Edition had some small minor errors, as well as
dissection abbreviations that are shown on the Dissection Sheets,
but no mention of them was listed in the text. Certain figures on
the Dissections Sheets are missing (such as Figures 1, 2, 4, with
no mention to a 3, as if Mr. Wells drew a Figure 3 but found it
was not needed and removed it from the book). Rather then leaving
it as is, I put {} marks around my notes saying things like
{No Figure 3}. For the "Second and Revised Edition" Wells was
able to change some of these errors and missing parts, but many of
the same printing tablets were used and with almost each addition
other things were removed, (in one instance one entire section
from a chapter), and many of the helpful suggestions were
shortened or removed so other things could be explained more. In
an ideal version of the book both could have been used, but with
reprinting the entire book from the first to the second editions
almost as many things were lost as were gained, so I've tried to
indicate where both text go separate paths with the following;
[Second Edition only text] and -First Edition only text,- and also
{Lines from Second Edition only.} and {Lines from First Edition
only.} were more then just a sentence is added or removed. Other
things to notice is how some words are spelt or punctuated
differently throughout the book, such as;
Blood Vessels
Blood-Vessels
Bloodvessels
I've tried to keep these as close to the original book as possible.
