PREFACE TO THE EIGHTH EDITION.
In issuing a new edition of his IMctionaij the Author has^ again^ the pleasure to express his acknowledgments for the reception it has met with from the profes- sion. The last two editions comprised about nine thousand subjects and terms not contained in the edition immediately preceding, many of which had been introduced into medical terminology in consequence of the progress of the science^ and others had escaped him in the previous revisions.
That the author has not suffered his exertions to diminish, in the preparation of the present edition, is sufficiently manifested by the fact, that he has added about four thousand terms, which are not to be found in the last. These additions have necessarily required a great amount of labour, which has been cheerfully be- stowed, however, in order that the work might be rendered still more worthy of the vast favouv which it has experienced. It has been the anxious desire of the author to make it a satisfiotctory and desirable — ^if not indispensable — lexicon, in which the student may search without disappointment for every term that has been legitimated in the nonDendature of the science ; and the present very carefully revised, greatly enlaiged, and accurately printed edition cannot fail to be more extensively useful, and to offer stronger claims to the attention of the practitioner and student, than any of its predecessors.

EXTRACT FROM THE
PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
The present undertaking was suggested by the frequent complaints, made by the aothor^s pupils, that they were unable to meet with information on numerous topics of professional inquiry, — especially of recent introduction, — ^in the medical diction- aries accessible to them. . It may, indeed, be correctly affirmed, that we have no dictionary of medical subjects and terms which can be looked upon as adapted to the state of the science. In proof of this, the author need but remark, that he has found occasion to add several thousand medical terms, which are not to be met with in the only medical lexicon at this time in circulation in the country.
The author's object has not been to make a mere lexicon or dictionary of terms, bat to afford, under each, a condensed view of its various medical relations, and thus to render the work an epitome of the existing condition of medical science. In its preparation, he has freely availed himself of the English, French, and German works of the same nature, and has endeavoured to add every subject and term of recent introduction, which has fallen under his notice ; yet, with all his care, it will doubtless be found that subjects have been omitted. The numerous additions, how- ever, which he has made, and his strong desire to be useful, " by removing rubbish and clearing obstructions firom the paths through which learning and genius press forward to conquest and glory,'' will, he trusts, extenuate these and other objections that might be urged against the work ; especially when the toil, which every com- piler of a dictionary must endure, is taken into consideration ; a toil which has been 80 forcibly depicted by the great English Lexicographer, as well as by the distin- guished Scauoeb:
"St qnelqtt'an a oommis quelqite crime odieuz, S'il a tu6 son pdre, ou blasph^m^ lea Dieax, Qn'il fasse un Lexicon: e'il est supplice au monde Qui le punisse mieax, Je venx que Ton me tonde."

EXPLANATION.
If the simple synonymy of any tenn be needed, a mere reference to the term may be sufficient; but if farther information be desired, it may be obtained under the term referred to. For example, the French word Tronc is said to be synony- mous with Trunk. This may be sufficient for the inquirer: should it not, the xequisite information may be found by turning to Trunk.

Aberration of Rbfrangibil'itt, Ohromat'ic t^crra'tion, exists, when, as in a common lens, the rays that pass near the circumference of Uie lens are decomposed, so that a coloured image is observed. This aberration in the human eye is corrected by the iris, which does not permit the rays to fall near the circumference of the lens, and also by the crystalline lens itself, which, owing to its structure, serves the purposes of an achromatic glass.
Aberration, Spherical, AberraUon of sphe- ricity.
Aberration of Spheeic^itt or §pker'ieal a&- mra'tion takes place, when the rays, as in a com- mon lens, which pass through the centre of the lens, and those which pass near the circumfer- ence, are unequally refracted, so that they do not meet at a common focus.

Its density in the liquid state, is almost the same as that of alcohol, 0.7921. Its taste ia disagreeable, and analogous to that of pepperminL It is miscible in all proportions wUh water, alcohol, and et^er. It may be pre- pared by distilling a mixture of two parts of crystallised acetate of lead and one part of quick- lime in a salt-glace Jar (gray-beard,) the lower part of the jar being coated with fire-clay ; and a bent glaas tube, half an inch in diameter, adapted to the mouth by a cork, so as to form a distillatory ^paratus. The jar is supported on the Bouth of a small fiimaoe, by which the lower part only is heated to redness, and the vapours are ooadueted into a Liebig's condenser. The product ia repeatedly redistiUed from quicklkne, uatQ its boiling point is constant at 132®.
It has been brought forward as a remedy in phthisis pnlmonalis; but evidently with nn- minded pretensions. It is an exdtant» and may be serviceable in chronic bronchitis. The dose is ten to forty drops three timei a day, diluted with water.

ANAT'OMY, AacU'omi, Anaiom'ia, Proeeeftio, from avw, and rt/ivuvf 'to out^' (F.) Anaiomie. The word Anatomy properly signifies dittecltoii / bat it h«a been appropriated to the study and knowledi^ of the number, shape, situation, stme- ture^ and connexion, — in a word, of all the appa- rent properties of organiEcd bodies. Anatomy is the scien ce of organization. Some have given the term a still more extended acoeptation, implying it to evesry mechanical decomposition, even of in- organic lM>dies. Thus, Cryetatlograpky has been termed the Anatou^ of crystallised minerals. Anatomy has also been called Morphtd'ogyf So- matoVo^jjft Somalot'amyf OrganoVogjff Ac. It as- sumes different names according as the study is •onflned to one organised being, or to a species or elass of beings. Thus, Aadrot'omy, otAntkropo^- emUf or A,nikropog*raj^y, or Antkropoeomatol'ogyf is the Anatomy of man: — ZoStomy, that of the other species of the animal kingdom : and Vet'erinary Anatomy is the anatomy of domestic animals: hot when the word is used abstractly, it means human Anatomy t Mid particularly the study of the organs in a physiological or healthy state. Pkyeiologieal Anatomy is occasionally used to signify the kind of anatomy which investigates simetnre with a special view to function. The Anatomy of the diseased human body is called Patholo^'ical or Morbid Anatomy , and when ap- plied to Medical Jurisprudence, ForeWeie Anat- omw. Several of the organs possessing a simi- lan^ of structure, and being formed of the same tissues, they have been grouped into Systems or Genera of Organs ; and the study of, or acquaint- ance wiUi, such systems, has been c»idled General Anat'omyf HietoVogy, or JforpKot'omyf whilst the itady of each organ in particular has been termed Deerriptive Anatomy, niettAogy is, however, more frequently applied to the Anolomy of ike Tieeuetf which is esllod, also, Tex*tural and Mieroeeopie Anatomy. Descriptive Auatomy has been di- vided into SkeUtoVogy which comprises OeUoV'
ogy, and Sjndeemol'oigy / and into SareoFogyf which is subdivided into Myol'ogy, NeuroVogy^ Angiol'ogy, Adenoi'ogy, Spianehnol'ogy, andDer- mol'ogy, Sur'gieal Anatomy , Medico^ Chiurgieal An€Uomyf Topograph' teal Anat'omyf Re'gioneU Anat'omy, (F.) AnolosiM OkiurgieeUe, A. dee Ri^ gione, is the paitieular and relative study of the bones, muscles, nerves, vessels, Ac, with whieh it is indispensable to be aoquainted before per- forming operations. Chmpar'ative Anafomy ia the comparative study of each organ, with a view to an acquaintance with the modifications of Ito •trueture in different animals or in the different classes of animals. JSremeeendentfal or Pkiloeophf^ ieal Anatomy inquires into the mode, plan, or model upon which the animal frame or organs are formed ; and Artifi'eial Anatfomy is the art of modelling and representing in wax or other substanoe, the different organs or different pafta of the human body, in the sound or diseased statt. Phytotfomy is the anatomy of vegetables, and Pieto'rial Anatomy, anatomy artisticaUy illus- trated.

III. Mixed Aneurism, (F.) AnSvryeme mixU, is that which arises frt»m the <Ulatation of one or two of the eoats, with division or rupture of the other. Some authon have made two varieties of this.
1. Mixed external Aneuriem, where the internal and middle coats are ruptured, and the areolar is dilated.
2. Mixed internal Aneurimn, in which the in- ternal coat is dilated, and protrudes, like a hernial sac, through the ruptured middle and onter eoats. This variety has been oalled Aneurye^nta Her*- niam Arte' rug eietena.
Aneurisms have been likewise termed trau» mat'ie and ^ponta'neoue, according as they may have been caused by a wound, or have originated spontaneously. They have also been divided into internal and extemtU,
The interned aneurienu are situate in the greal splanchnic cavities, and oceur in the heart and great vessels of the chest, abdomen, Ao. Their diagnosis is difficult, and they are often inaocea- sible to surgical treatment
The external aueurieme are sitaate at the ezt^*

ANGLE, An'gulM, from oynXoi, 'a hook.' The space between two lines which meet in a point
Angle, Fa'cial, pointed out by Camper, is formed by the union of two lines, one of which !s drawn from the most prominent part of the forehead to the alveolar edge of the upper jaw, opposite the incisor teeth — i^e facial line — and the other from the meatus auditorius extemus to the same point of the jaw. According to the •ize of the angle it has been attempted to appre- ciate the respective proportions of the cranium ftnd face^ aad^ to a certain extend the degree of
intelligence of individuals and of animals, la, the white varieties of the species, this an|^e if generally 80° ; in the negro not more than 70^^ and sometimes only 65°. As we descend tli« scale of animals, the angle becomes less and len; until, in fishes, it nearly or entirely disappears. Animals which have the snout long, and ftxial angle small, such as the snipe, crane, stork, Acy are proverbially foolish, at least they are so esteemed; whilst intelligence is ascribed to ^oee in which the angle is more largely developed, as the elephant and the owl. In these last Mitwi^t, however, the large facial angle is' caused by tta sise of the frontal sinuses : — so that this mode of appreciating the sixe of the brain is very inexaeCy and cannot be depended upon.
The following is a table of the ang^e in and certain animals :

Angle, Occipital, of Davbenton, is fbrmad by a line drawn trom the posterior margin of the foramen magnum to the inferior mar^ of ttis orbit, and another drawn from the top of the head to the space between the occipital condyles. In man, these condyles, as well as the foramen magnum, are so situate, that a line drawn per- pendicular to them would be a continuation of the spine ; but in animals they are placed more or less obliquely ; and the perpendicular is sarily thrown farther forward, and the angle dered more acute.

The filtered liqaor is placed on the fire In an iron ▼euel, and suflfered to evaporate, until neither froth nor efferveecenoe occurs, and the liquid pre- sents a nmooth surface like oil. To this, levigated coal is added in the proportion of 160 grammes to 192 grammes of potassa. The mixture is stirred, and removed from the fire, and the stir- ring is continued, until a black homogeneous powder results. A •ulphuretted antkrahokali is made by mixing accurately 16 grammes of sul- phur with the coal, and dissolving the mixture in the potassa as directed above. The dose of the simple and sulphuretted preparations is about two grains three times a day.
