Excerpt from Biology General and Medical The question astonished me, but the manner in which it was asked clearly intimated that it was a method of expressing his conviction that no one would do so. My friend is a. Distinguished educator, occupies an im portant chair in one of the most prominent American institutions, and should have known; but apparently did not. Time has shown him to have been mistaken. Stu dents were anxious for a writing that would connect the Botany and Zoology they had learned in college with the Anatomy and Physiology they were learning in the Med ical College, and those subjects with the world of living things in which they moved. I still am unable to answer the original question, who will read it? All that I can say, as the result of three editions completely exhausted, is that thousands are reading it, and for me that is enough to justify the long period spent in its preparation.
