This week I have uploaded a number of the pictures I’ve been promising for a couple weeks scanned. I will provide an administrative update about that soon after I do it, and I will go back and update hyperlinks in past articles directing to those images readers that find the articles and some date after they’ve been published. For anyone following along in the feed of this website the ordering of articles may get a little jumbled for a day or two as I perform those updates. I apologize for that in advance.  Here is the link for the often reference set of pictures from Chart 1.

With this article I’m going to move into the next two sections that cover the olfactory nerve and the tongue.

The Olfactory Nerve – the olfactory nerve is graphically displayed, branches of which are seen passing in all directions over the mucous membrane of the nose. A little to the left of the olfactory nerve is seeing the posterior nares, and immediately below the pharynx and epiglottis, the aesophagus or gullit, the larynx and trachea or wind-pipe.

The Tongue – the tongue, or organ of taste and instrument of speech, is most accurately represented, the muscular fibers of which are seen running in different but determinant ways, is giving to this important organ variety and regularity of motion and 18 it to assume numerous shapes and forms. The cervical portion of the spinal column is seeing, with the fleshy part of the back of the neck attached. This plate is one that commends itself to our deep in careful study.

There is not too much that leaps out from this particular section as the text is basically describing a picture. I didn’t spell a suspect is in the way that the book spells the word with an ‘a’ proceeding the ‘e’ of esophagus. There is something about old writing which I have not learned yet that sometimes puts an ‘a’ before and ‘e’. I’ve seen this in words such as, Aegypt v. Egypt and many others. One of these days I will look up the history of the word possibly it’s a Latin derivative of some type or another, I’m not certain today.
