I WISH to express my gratitude to Abe Lerner, whose friendship and close association I have enjoyed for many years; toward the end of my task it was he who helped me put the finishing touches on the manuscript by editing it and aiding me in the final selection of the drawings. My wife Mabel has likewise been of considerable assistance in collecting and selecting the many illustrations, as well as in editing and proofreading the copy.
To Dr. Joseph C. Ehrlich of Lebanon Hospital I am grateful for the medical knowledge which he contributed in checking the diagrams and the passages relating to anatomy.
I naturally feel indebted to my teachers who taught me the principles of human anatomy. Among them were Professors Charles J. Martin and Arthur R.Young of Teachers College, Columbia University; George W. Eggers of City College; and the late Dr. Leigh Hunt of City College and George B. Bridgman of the Art Students League.
I also wish to thank all the contemporary American artists, my dear friends and those whom I know only by name, who have so generously loaned me many originals.
And finally, a book such as this would have been impossible to write without the museums, art galleries, and magazines which provided me with photographs and, in very many cases, originals of great value.
