Excerpt from A System of Human Anatomy, Vol. 3: Including Its Medical and Surgical Relations; Muscles and Fasciæ
A book which will be at once accurate in statement and concise in terms; which will be an acceptable expression of the present state of the science of anatomy; which will exclude nothing that can be made applicable to the medical art, and which will thus embrace all of surgical importance, while omitting nothing of value to clinical medicine, - would appear to have an excuse for existence in a country where most surgeons are general practitioners, and where there are few general practitioners who have no interest in surgery.
As a brief introduction to the essential features of the volume, attention is invited to the kinds of knowledge of the human body which the physician demands.
First. An exact acquaintance with the form and construction of the organs of the body. But, inasmuch as an anatomical fact is of little use unless the range of application Of the fact is known, the due connection between the normal condition of the organs and their variations within the limits of health will receive proper attention, accordingly the typical description of each organ will be followed by a brief statement of such variations.

Other modifications of a topographical arrangement are implied in the use of such terms as intrinsic and extrinsic. The Biceps Flexor Cubiti is an intrinsic muscle of the superior extremity; while the Pectoralis Major is an extrinsic muscle, since, notwithstanding its insertion into the superior extremity, it secures its origin from the thorax.
Muscular masses may have a broad origin and a small insertion, such as the Temporal muscle and the Latissimus Dorsi; or they mav have a small origin and a large surface of insertion, as the Adductor Magnus; or they may have origins and insertions of nearly equal proportions, as the Masseter.
