Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Harrison Allen was born on April 17, 1841 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. He was the son of Samuel Allen and Elizabeth Thomas.
Allen graduated from the Philadelphia Central High School, and later he began the study of dentistry under Doctor Josiah Foster Flagg, a cultivated man of great artistic ability, who had graduated in medicine at Harvard but had subsequently devoted himself to dentistry. Flagg had done considerable work in anatomical illustration, and although Allen only remained in his office for one year he was undoubtedly greatly influenced by Flagg throughout his subsequent career. Allen studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and at the end of the necessary two years' course received his degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1861.
Allen served for one year as a resident physician in the Philadelphia Hospital. In 1862 he was appointed an acting assistant surgeon in the United States Army and a few months later was commissioned assistant surgeon. His duties during the Civil War were chiefly in hospitals in Washington or its vicinity. Doctor Horatio C. Wood, who served under Allen when the latter was in command at a military hospital in Alexandria, Virginia, pays a high tribute to the executive ability he manifested in this capacity. Allen resigned from the Army in 1865 with the brevet rank of major and began practising medicine in Philadelphia, devoting himself to diseases of the nose and throat.
As one of the pioneer American laryngologists he acquired great eminence in his special field, particularly for his dexterity as an operator, but his real calling was comparative anatomy and his most important contributions dealt with it. Every minute that he could spare from his practise was spent at the Academy of Natural Sciences or in the Philadelphia School of Anatomy.
In 1864 the Smithsonian Institution published his very important Monograph of the Bats of North America, which was republished in 1893. From 1865 until the last year of his life the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia contained numerous communications from his pen. In 1869 he published his Outlines of Comparative Anatomy and Medical Zoology, of which a second edition appeared in 1877. In 1875 he published Analysis of the Life Form in Art, a work which possessed great value for artists and was duly appreciated by them. His System of Human Anatomy, Including Its Medical and Surgical Relations (1884) was greatly esteemed by other anatomists, but was too erudite and elaborate to achieve general success. He did an immense amount of work on craniology, making comparative studies of skulls from the Florida mounds, the Hawaiian Islands, and elsewhere, and deducing many valuable conclusions from his investigations. These studies were published in the transactions of various societies and have never been collected in book form. H. C. Wood in the bibliography appended to his Memoir of Allen lists ninety-seven (non-medical) scientific articles from his pen.
In 1865 Allen was appointed professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in the Auxiliary Faculty of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and in 1879 professor of the institutes of medicine in the same institution. This chair he resigned in 1885 to resume his previous position as professor of zoology and comparative anatomy.
Allen was also professor of anatomy and surgery in the Pennsylvania Dental College from 1866 to 1878, and was at one time or another on the staff of the Philadelphia Hospital, the Wills Eye Hospital, and St. Joseph's Hospital.
Allen was one of the founders of the American Laryngological Association and at one time president of the Association of American Anatomists and the Anthropomorphic Society. His most important scientific contribution is Monograph of the Bats of North America, which is still regarded as authoritative on that subject; he also published numerous valuable papers on other subjects including the joints, the muscles, locomotion, distribution of color markings and craniology. Allen was also the first to suggest the term pedomorphism in describing infantile characters in the bodies of adults.

Allen was a member of the Association of American Anatomists and the Anthropomorphic Society. He was also a Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and a member of the Pathological Society and a constant attendant at their meetings.
Allen was of a modest, retiring disposition, and inspired affection and respect in his colleagues, patients, and friends.
In December 1869 Allen married Julia A. Colton, the daughter of S. W. Colton of Massachusetts.
