" The present edition is more than largely revised. Much of it is rewritten, and 

 it is brought quite abreast with the latest wave of progress of physiological science. 

 A chief merit of this work is its judicial temper, a strict sifting of fact from fiction, 

 the discouragement of conclusions based on inadequate data, and small liking shown 

 toward fanciful though fascinating hypotheses, and the avowal that to many ques- 

 tions, and some of foremost interest and moment, no satisfying answers can yet be 

 given." New England Medical Journal. 



" It is in all respects an ideal text-book. It is only the physiologist, who has 

 devoted time to the study of some branch of the great science, who can read between 

 the lines of this wonderfully generalized account, and can see upon what an intimate 

 and extensive knowledge these generalizations are founded. It is only the teacher 

 who can appreciate the judicial balancing of evidence and the power of presenting the 

 conclusions in such clear and lucid forms. But by every one the rare modesty of the 

 author in keeping the element of self so entirely in the background must be appreci- 

 ated. Reviewing this volume as a whole, we are justified in saying that it is the only 

 thoroughly good text-book of physiology in the English language, and that it is 

 probably the best text-book in any language." Edinburgh Medical Journal.
