About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1834 edition.

It will readily be admitted by those who are accustomed to contemplate the works of nature, that such a result is less the fault of the subject than the mode of investigating it; for although physiology is not a demonstrative science, it is as open to observation and experiment as any other; but greater caution in our inferences is required, in proportion as the sources of error are more numerous and less easily detected. If the attempt to free some parts of this science from the confusion in which it has been involved, should expose me to the charge of presumption, because it can only be done by judging the labours of others, I have at least the apology of the necessity of the task, and of not a short life, in a great degree devoted to the subject; for although it is not more than twenty years since I...
