Acknowledgements 



It is a great pleasure to acknowledge here the help 

 which I have received from many friends at Cambridge, 

 not only by Avay of reading typescript and proof and 

 by discussion, but also by the interest w'hich they 

 have shown in the work and by their continuous 

 encouragement. The follo\Adng have read the trans- 

 lation either in whole or in part : Prof. F. M. Corn- 

 ford, Professor of Ancient Philosophy ; Dr. F. H. A. 

 Marshall, Reader in Agricultural Physiology (who has 

 also kindly written the ForcAvord to this volume), 

 and Dr. Joseph Needham, Reader in Biochemistrj^ 

 I am under a particular obligation to my colleague 

 Mr. H. Rackham, yvho has read the Λvhole translation 

 both in typescript and in proof. I am indebted 

 to Dr. Sydney Smith and a number of other friends 

 for their kindness in discussing various points and 

 for reading certain passages. Dr. Reuben Levy, 

 Professor of Persian, has kindly read for me some 

 passages in the Arabic translation of the zoological 

 works. To all of these gentlemen, without whose 

 aid the work could not have been carried through, 

 I record my sincerest thanks. 



The present (third) edition has again been revised.
