As it appeared to me, when I first began, in 1759, to deliver in this University a public course of lectures on Anatomy and Surgery, that the structure of the oblique muscles had not been sufficiently examined, nor even the number of them attended to by authors, and that some of their chief purposes or effects had been ent rely overlooked by them, I endeavoured then, and in every course of lectures since that time, to direct very particularly the attention of students to those subjects.
