Excerpt from First Lines of Physiology, Being an Introduction to the Science of Life: Written in Popular Language, Designed for the Use of Common Schools, Academies, and General Readers
To the earlier editions of this little work, several pages of prefatory matter appeared requisite, in order, partly, to apologize for the introduction of a new candidate for pcpu lar favour, in a department of science for which several introductory text-books adapted to the use of schools and unprofessional readers had been previously produced, and, partly, to defend the fitness of Physiology as a branch of elementary education, not only for male children, but for females also.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This early 19th century book on physiology, the study of living things, is written with a focus on young readers. The author begins by exploring the differences between animate and inanimate objects by examining their motion and growth, concluding that living things have an internal power of motion and possess the ability to convert other things into their own nature. The author introduces varying levels of complexity in organisms and their systems of organs and how they serve the needs of an organism. This book seeks to introduce young people to the wonder of physiology and stimulate their curiosity about the world around them, and demonstrates how organized beings share essential characteristics that set them apart from non-living matter.
