LANCET. "We offer a hearty welcome to the work of the veteran 

 professor of physiology in Rome, one of the early Italian pupils of Ludwig 

 and the successor of Moleschott. Few men have such an all-round know- 

 ledge of physiology as Luigi Luciani, or so wide an outlook on physiological 

 problems, both in their modern and in their historical aspects. Moreover, 

 this treatise will introduce to English readers much of the work done by 

 his compatriots, which is none too well known in either England or America. 

 It is rather remarkable that the translation into English of such an all-round 

 comprehensive work should have been so long delayed. All the more, 

 therefore, do we congratulate Miss Welby on the successful manner in which 

 she has performed her work. We wish this and the succeeding volumes 

 every success in their English garb, and we hope that the other three 

 volumes will soon make their appearance." 



BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL. "The text-book is one which 

 should be read by those studying for higher examinations, and all who wish 

 for a literary and philosophic treatment of the subject. Luciani has the 

 same lucidity and charm of style which Sir Michael Foster possessed, and 

 his text-book fills almost exactly the place which Foster's text-book held in 

 English literature. Very good are the admirable historical summaries by 

 which each subject is introduced. . . . An excellent feature is the way he 

 sets forth classical experiments which prove the points he is discussing. 

 He writes knowing that he has breadth and room enough in his four 

 volumes, and owing to this his work gains enormously over the dull, un- 

 embroidered one-volumed text- book. The student could not have a better 

 introduction to physiology than Luciani's chapter on living matter. 

 Miss Welby has done her work very well."
