Excerpt from An American d104-Book of Physiology, Vol. 1 Advantage has been taken of the necessity of issuing a second edition of the American d104 - Book of Physiology to alter somewhat its general arrangement. The book has proved to be successful, and for the most part has met only with kindly and encouraging Criticisms from those who have made use of it. Many teachers, however, have suggested that the size of the book, when issued in a single volume, has constituted to some extent an inconvenience when regarded from the standpoint of a student's text-book that may be needed daily for consultation in the lecture-room or the labora tory. It has been thought best, therefore, to issue the present edition in two volumes, with the hope that the book may thereby be made more serviceable to those for whose aid it was especially written.

Excerpt from A Text Book of Physiology, Vol. 1 In the present edition I have made considerable changes and additions; but in the changes I have tried to maintain the character of the book as presented in previous editions; and the additions, with the exception of the histological paragraphs, are caused not by any attempt to add new matter or to enlarge the general scope of the work, but by an effort to explain more fully and at greater length what seem to me to be the most fundamental and most important topics. I have been led to introduce some histological statements, not with the view of in any way relieving the student from the necessity of studying distinct histological treatises, but in order to bring him to the physiological problem with the histological data fresh in his mind. I have therefore dealt very briefly with the several histological points and confined myself to matters having a physiological bearing. My friends Dr Gaskell, Mr Langley and Dr Lea have given me great assistance throughout, and their names might fitly appear on the title page, were it not that the present arrangement makes me alone responsible for all shortcomings. I have also to thank my senior demonstrator Mr L. E. Shore, M.B. and my junior demonstrator Mr Wingfield, M.A. for much valuable aid. The second and third parts will follow this first part as soon as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A d104 Book of Physiology, Vol. 1 of 2: General Physiology Although this work has been modelled to some extent on my "Outlines of Physiology," now out of print, it is essentially a new book, and as it aims at giving a more detailed account of the subject, the title of "Outlines of Physiology" has been abandoned for that of a "d104 Book of Physiology." I have not endeavoured to give anything like an encyclopaedic account of the modern researches that have built up the physiological science of the present time, but rather to weave into a consecutive narrative the main facts and principles of physiology, as these present themselves to my mind, after nearly eighteen years of experience as a teacher of the science. Probably no science is advancing with greater rapidity, if one may form an opinion from the large number of original papers that are announced, month by month, and from the large number of investigators in the physiological laboratories of the Continent, of America, and of our own country. Thus it is year by year becoming more difficult for a teacher to keep abreast of the wave of progress, and still more difficult to assimilate the new facts and to incorporate them with his previous knowledge. Each teacher will also view the subject more especially according to his prodilections for the morphological, the chemical, or the physical side of the science, and it is not easy in the preparation of such a work as this to be impartial and to present the science in all its completeness to the reader.

Excerpt from Human Physiology, Vol. 1 of 4 "Good wine needs no bush," but it will perhaps not be an infringement of this maxim to introduce, in a few words, Professor Luciani's excellent Text-Book of Physiology to the English-reading public. The Italian Text-book is now in its third edition, the final pages being in the Press. One or other of the earlier editions has been translated into French, German, and Russian, and it is a matter for surprise that we have had to wait so long for an English version. In the making of physiological text-books, we are at the parting of the ways. The physiologists of the past generation were brought up to know with familiarity all that had been recently done in physiological research, whether in vertebrates or invertebrates, in animals or in plants. The facts were not so numerous that they could not be stored in the memory without cumbering the judgment, and Physiologists could in some sort be first-hand authorities on all branches of the subject. That condition has been gradually passing away, and it is hardly possible for any one who is not of the old school to write an advanced text-book covering the whole ground of Physiology. Thus the text-book of single authorship is giving way to the text-book of multiple authorship. The latter, whatever its merits, has not the unity of view and the sense of proportion which belong to the former - qualities very important in a book intended for students. Professor Luciani's book, whilst describing phenomena with considerable detail, treats lucidly the broad principles to be deduced from them. It stands midway between the text-book which confines itself to summing up the results of physiological investigation, and that which gives also a minute historical account of the progress of investigation.

Excerpt from An Elementary System of Physiology, Vol. 1 I have derived my information, to enable him to ex amine for himself how far I have given a correct ao count of them, and to assist him in pursuing the inves tigation of any part in which he may feel more parti cularly interested. And I may here remark that m no instance have I given a reference to any book which I have not myself examined, and that m order to facili tate the progress of those who may be disposed to fol low me in this track, i have appended a list of the works that have been consulted, with the dates of the editions employed.

Excerpt from A Text Book of Physiology The most important changes in the present edition are to be found in the section on Muscle and Nerve; I have rearranged this section altogether, hoping thereby to render this difficult subject more easy for the reader. The other changes, though numerous, are for the most part slight, and very largely confined to the small print. I have again to offer my best thanks to my friends who have assisted me in this as in the two former editions.
