Synopsis

Excerpt from Comparisons of Structure in Animals: The Hand and the Arm

In the fulfilment of our plan, we shall endea vour to avoid the use of technical terms, even at the expense Of precision of language; for, unless the reader be perfectly familiar with them, such terms tend to embarrass and per plex, perhaps even to deter him from pursuing a subject replete with instruction and well calculated to expand the intellect.
