Hunter's nephew, Matthew Baillie (see No. 1176 ff.), found an uncompleted manuscript several years after Hunter's death and discovered that it was intended to be the text for the atlas (see No. 942). In the Advertisement Baillie explains that he is publishing the work for the first time, with only a few changes and remarks which he felt necessary for completeness.
