Few persons cultivate the science of Anatomy with ardor in our country. The rash and odious abuse of it, a few years since in several cities on the continent, by many indiscreet persons, has given to the public a disgust, and to individuals, a fear of meddling any more with human bodies. A wide field is still left for the exertions of diligence and genius in the pursuit of discoveries by comparative Anatomy. This may be followed without giving offence to any person. We are happy to hear of Dr. Post's beautiful dissection of the Free-Martin a few weeks ago, and to learn that his discoveries nearly agree with Mr. John Hunter's on the same subject. This we consider as the best Anatomical performance since Mitchell's publication about the absorbent vessels.
