Anatomy discovers in it ten thousand marks of wisdom and goodness, which I have no room to mention here- nor indeed is it possible for any finite intelligence to describe the geometrical accuracy with which the Author of nature has formed every part of the fabric. However, as I sincerely wish that all who are honored with these curious and wonderfully wrought bodies, may possess them in health and happiness, and, as long experience demonstrates, that this can not be attained without TEMPERANCE and EXERCISE, I shall in this paper give the reader such a view of the structure and mechanism of his own frame, as will convince him of the necessity and importance of those virtues.This is an edition of a classical book first published in the eighteenth century.
