From the Preface to the New Edition. 



" The progress made by Physiology and the kindred Sciences during the last few years has re- 

 quired, for the present edition of this work, a thorough Jind extensive revision. This progress 

 has not consisted in any very striking single discoveries, nor in a decided revolution in any of 

 the departments of Physiology; but it has been marked by great activity of investigation in a 

 multitude of different directions, the combined results of which have not failed to impress a new 

 character on many of the features of physiological knowledge. ... In the revision and 

 correction of the present edition, the author has endeavored to incorporate all such improve- 

 ments in physiological knowledge with the mass of the text in such a manner as not essentially 

 to alter the structure and plan of 'the work, so far as they have been found adapted to the wants 

 and convenience of the reader. . . . Several new illustrations are introduced, some of them 

 as additions, others as improvements or corrections of the old. Although all parts of the boolt 

 have received more or less complete revision, the greatest number of additions and changes were 

 required in the Second Section, on the Physiology of the Nervous System."

The advent of the first edition of Prof. Dalton's 

 Physiology, about eight years ago, marked a new era 

 in the study of physiology to the American student. 

 Under Dalton's skilful management, physiological 

 science threw off the long, loose, ungainly garments 

 of probability and surmise, in which it had been ar- 

 rayed by most artists, and came among us smiling 

 and attractive, in the beautifully tinted and closely 

 fitting dress of a demonstrated science. It was a 

 stroke of genius, as well as a result of erudition and 

 talent, that led Prof. Dalton to present to the world 

 a work on physiology at once brief, pointed, and com- 

 prehensive, and which exhibited plainly in letter and 

 drawings the basis upon which the conclusions ar- 

 rived at rested. It is no disparagement of the many 

 excellent works on physiology, published prior to 

 that of Dalton, to say that none of them, either in 

 plan of arrangement or clearness of execution, could 

 be compared with his for the use of students or gene- 

 ral practitioners of medicine. For this purpose his 

 book has no equal in the English language. -Western 

 Journal of Medicine, Nov. 1867. 



A capital text-book in every way. We are, there- 

 fore, glad to see it in its fourth edition. It has already 

 been examined at full length in these columns, so that 

 we need not now further advert to it beyond remark- 

 ing that both revision and enlargement have been 

 most judicious. London Med. Times and Gazette, 

 Oct. 19, 1867. 



No better proof of the value of this admirable 

 work could be produced than the fact that it has al- 

 ready reached a fourth edition in the short space of 

 eight years. Possessing in an eminent degree the 



brought up to the present level of Physiology, it i 

 undoubtedly one of the most reliable text-books 

 upon this science that could be placed in the hands 

 of the medical student. Am. Journal Med. Sciences, 

 Oct. 1867. 



Prof. Dalton's work has such a well-established 

 reputation that it does not stand in need of any re-- 

 commendation. Ever since its first appearance it has 

 become the highest authority in the English language; 

 and that it is able to maintain the enviable position 

 which it has taken, the rapid exhaustion of the dif- 

 ferent successive editions is sufficient evidence. The 

 present edition, which is the fourth, has been tho- 

 roughly revised, and enlarged by the incorporation 

 of all the many important advances which have 

 lately been made in this rapidly progressing science. 

 N. T. Med. Record, Oct. 15, 1867. 



As it stands, we esteem it the very best of the phy- 

 siological text-books for the student, and the most 

 concise reference and guide-book for the practitioner. 

 N. T. Med. Journal, Oct. 1867. 



The present edition of this now standard work fully 

 sustains the high reputation of its accomplished au- 

 thor. It is not merely a reprint, but has been faith- 

 fully revised, and enriched by such additions as the 

 progress of physiology has rendered desirable. Taken 

 as a whole, it is unquestionably the most reliable and 

 useful treatise on the subject that has been issued 

 from the American press. Chicago Med. Journal, 

 Sept. 1867.
