A popular anatomy text on the five senses by the Scottish surgeon Charles Bell, published in London in 1841 for general readers rather than medical specialists. Its 19 plates are lightly hand-coloured lithographs and stipple engravings of isolated organs — a sectioned eyeball in yellow and red, a tongue, ear bones, skull cavities — keyed with small italic letters and dotted leader lines.
