Morton prepared this text primarily for students although he also intended it to be used as a refresher for practitioners no longer in school. Many of the twenty-five plates are from drawings made from his dissections and engraved by William Fairland. Other plates were taken from the works of Sir Charles Bell (see No. 1300), Antonio Scarpa (see No. 1103 ff.), Franz Caspar Hesselbach (1759-1816), Sir Astley Paston Cooper (see No. 1224 ff.), Jules Germain Cloquet (see No. 1469 ff.), Petrus Camper (see No. 951 ff.), and Friedrich Arnold (see No. 1648). William Cadge, Morton's successor as assistant surgeon at the University College Hospital, prepared the commentary for Morton's Engravings illustrating the surgical anatomy of the head and neck (see No. 1788) at the publisher's request and it is included at the end of the book.
