To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This locomotive apparatus, we find to consist of about 250 bones, in their perfected state, and of many more while in the fcetal state, before the epiphyses, and shafts, and masses, are united. Of these each portion originally possesses its own distinct centre of ossification* The spinal column alone con- taining more than 100, which equally, by the incompleteness of their bony junctions, and the elasticity of their cartilaginous ones, adapt the mature infantile structure for its passage throug...h the pelvis, in the process of parturition. Near 1000 junctures of various, kinds exist, having either imme- diate or dependant movements, with 400 muscles to act upon them and direct them; beside the hollow and transparent muscles, which serve the internal functions. Ten- 83 , original, terminal, and inter-placed, are almost numberless ; while hundreds of suit- able ligaments, to adjust and sustain the actions and uses of all these organs, are de- monstrable under our dissections. Appro- priate secretions to keep them fit for their services, are provided in sufficiency, without superfluity ; and their surfaces are so dis- posed, and their interstices so lubricated, lined, proportioned, and connected with other parts, that the mighty arms of Her- cules, and the resilient limbs of Antseus, could maintain their struggles unbroken.
