Excerpt from Principles of Human Physiology: With Their Chief Applications to Psychology, Pathology, Therapeutics, Hygiene, and Forensic Medicine
In accordance with the foregoing plan, the Second, Third, and Fifth Chapters of the last Edition of this work, which included a summary of Animal Chemistry, and of the Structure and Actions of the Animal Tissues, amounting in all to about 250 pages, have been omitted from the present. On the other hand, additions have been made, to the amount of above 70 pages; and these by no means constitute the whole of the new matter introduced, since many portions have been re-written, with little or no increase of bulk. It has been the Author's desire, on this as on former occasions, that his Treatise should represent his present convictions and opinions, as completely as if it were making its appearance for the first time; and he has accordingly subjected every part of it to a revision not less careful than that which he would have bestowed upon it, had it less recently passed under a similar scrutiny. Although the minor results of this revision, which are scattered through almost every part of the volume, would not be apparent save on a searching comparison, yet he trusts that they will be found to have increased the utility of the work; - those of more importance, however, he deems it well now to par ticularize.
