SOME PRESS OPINIONS OF VOL. I. Continued. 



NA TURE. " The arduous labour of translation has been carried out 

 very efficiently, the English version being clear, accurate, and eminently 

 readable. . . . The references to the literature of the subject appended to 

 the various sections of the work form a very useful feature. The editor, 

 Dr. M. Camis, has rendered these more complete by the addition of the 

 chief recent English and American physiological papers. These references 

 will undoubtedly offer valuable guidance to senior students of physiology 

 desirous of extending their knowledge of physiology beyond the limits of 

 their text-books. . . . The book is a remarkable achievement, especially in 

 view of the fact that it is the work of a single author, and appears to the 

 reviewer to possess special qualities and merits, which entitle it to a high 

 place amongst the existing English text-books of physiology." 



VOL. II 



BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL." Luciani is especially valuable 

 in giving the student admirable summaries of the history of the science, 

 and he writes with a philosophic grace and literary style such as Michael 

 Foster possessed, and which Miss Welby renders into English very well 

 indeed. . . . We cordially recommend the perusal of this volume to those 

 who are studying physiology with other aims than the passing of examina- 

 tion papers." 



LANCET. " The orderly statement of facts and theories with reference 

 to digestion are most excellent, and the same may be said as regards the 

 functional processes of the kidneys and the skin. . . . We feel sure that 

 this volume will be welcomed by English physiologists and practitioners of 

 medicine, as well as by students who are in pursuit of knowledge carefully 

 sifted and pleasantly presented. The translation does Miss Welby much 

 credit." 



EDINBURGH MEDICAL JOURNAL. "The various problems 

 are discussed in a critical and judicial manner, and the growth of know- 

 ledge in each department is set forth in a fashion which brings clearly 

 before the reader the way whereby our present-day opinions have been 

 elaborated and matured. The text is thoroughly up-to-date in each section 

 of the treatise, and presents the views of the learned writer in excellent 

 idiomatic English. The volume is a further instalment of a work that should 

 be in the hands of every one who is interested in the science of physiology." 



NATURE. " The important character of Prof. Luciani's text-book 

 was well recognised by EnglLJi-readers when the translation of the first 

 volume made its appearandlfc The second volume, which has just been 

 issued, confirms this impression; The subject-matter is treated, as a rule, 

 in an interesting way; pros and cons on disputed points are discussed 

 intelligently, and the work of past researchers, though in the main chiefly 

 interesting to the historian, is presented with great fulness and lucidity. 

 The book will prove a valuable asset to the professed physiologist and to 

 the advanced student."
