Excerpt from A System of Dental Surgery At the time I undertook to write the present volume, the museums in which an extended series of young skulls would be likely to be found were visited, but without success. So far as I could learn, no such series existed. It therefore became necessary to make a collection, taking care that the age of each specimen should, if possible, be ascertained. This has been done, and the preparations comprised in the collection are sufficiently numerous to allow of deductions being made from the characters they present. But should the conclusions drawn from the study of these ultimately prove, in some respects, incorrect, the want of accuracy can be substantiated by the study of a still more extended series only. But until such a collection is made, it will be safer to adopt the conditions of the preparations at present at my disposal, as fair examples of the states of the dental appa ratus at the several ages, than to assume that the opinions generally extant, when at variance with them, are in all cases correct. Feeling that this course is the more likely one to lead to a correct knowledge of the subject, I shall, in the following pages, describe the conditions presented by individual specimens, selecting such as appear most typical of the ages chosen for description.
