NOTICE.
The present edition of Hunter on the Teeth originally appeared
m the pages of the "Dental Eeview" for the years 1861—63.
The Notes appended to the First Part were furnished by Dr.
"Webb, and formed the basis of a Course of Lectures on the
Comparative Anatomy of the Teeth, delivered to the Students of
the Metropolitan School of Dental Science. Such notes were
necessarily a work of compilation rather than of original research,
and have been principally derived from the rich stores of infor-
mation to be found in the works of Owen, Tomes, Nasmyth,
and Kolliker. Obligations to these and other authors are
duly acknowledged.
The Notes to the Second Part were furnished by Mr. Hulme,
and are restricted to short comments on Hunter's views. To
have attempted more, and to have brought this portion of the
work up to the present advanced state of Dental Surgery,
would have necessitated the writing an entire treatise on the
subject.
In the present edition, the Annotators' Notes are distinguished
from those of the Author by alphabetical references and by
being placed within brackets.
