It is intended in this treatise to give an independent and thorough expo¬ 
sition of the Physiology of Man. The Book is divided into two parts: 
Statical Physiology—Conditions of Life; Dynamical Physiology—Course of 
Life. It is adequately illustrated, and is completed by an admirable index. 
Professor Draper’s work, soon after its first appearance, took a high place 
in popular favor. It does not include the most recent and still debatable 
territory won for the science of human life, but it is of permanent value for 
purpose of instruction. 
A book that is full of interest, containing many striking views and novel 
and experimental illustrations. We make our sincere acknowledgements to 
the author for the fresh contributions he has furnished to our knowledge of 
the laws of life, and the new impulse he has imparted to the study of its 
mysteries .—North American Review.
