Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of the Comparative Anatomy of Animals, Vol. 1

In the following Introduction to the study of the Comparative Anatomy of Animals, I have necessarily been guided by the requirements of the elementary examinations at the leading universities of Great Britain.

Having found by experience that beginners find great difficulty in apprehending the full meaning of the cell-theory at the commencement of their studies, I have departed from the course usually pursued in lectures and practical instruction, and instead of beginning with the study of cells, I have taken the common frog as a type of animal organisation. The general anatomy of the frog is first described in some detail; the microscopic structure of its organs and tissues is next explained, and then the cell-theory and the phenomena of the cell-division are dealt with. In this way I have attempted to lead the student gradually from familiar to new and unfamiliar conceptions.

I have attempted, as far as possible, to verify by personal observation the statements of fact contained in this book, but want of time and opportunity has prevented me from repeating the long and laborious researches of many investigators on such subjects as the reproduction of the Protozoa. Where personal observation has been wanting I have tried to give an adequate account of the best and most recent researches on the subject. In certain cases, however, I have preferred the results of older to those of more recent observers. For example, I have adhered to Maupas' account of the phenomena of conjugation in the Ciliata, because in my judgment the results of the latest researches on this matter require independent confirmation before they can be held to overthrow the results of such careful and consistent work as that of Maupas. Since this book is in part a record of my own observations and not wholly a compilation, I have in several cases departed from the accepted accounts of certain phenomena.
