Excerpt from A d104book of Physiology The preparation of this textbook was begun before the war at a time when we were both actively engaged in teaching at the London Hospital Medical College, and when it was considered that we might with advantage put together and harmonize the physiology we were teaching. In order to secure uniformity of style, each section has been written in the first instance by the same hand, and then finished in its present form by careful collaboration between the two of us. While physiological research has been confined in many directions, progress along certain lines has been especially remarkable since the outbreak of war. We have endeavoured to take these recent advances into consideration, before completing the work, in spite of the great difficulties under which we, in common with all physiologists, have laboured. The book has been written with the primary object of giving to the student in an easily understandable form the fundamental facts and theories of physiology, hearing in mind the limitations necessary in a student's textbook. We have followed the example of Michael Foster, and have avoided burdening the students memory with the names of authorities. When ready to leave the narrow scope of a textbook for the wide realms of independent thought, those who wish to extend their physiological knowledge can easily find their way into the literature of research by means of the various archives and journals of physiology. Although written primarily to meet the requirements of the medical student, it is hoped that, in view of the ever-increasing importance of the proper application of physiology to general medicine, the work may also prove of value to the general practitioner.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physiology Tma high reputation acquired, on both sides of the Atlantic, by Dr. Foster's text-book of Physiology as a lucid exposition of the science in its most modern aspect, has seemed to call for an edition more thor oughly adapted to the wants of the American student. The plan of the author has presupposed an acquaint ance with the details of physiological anatomy, such as the student is accustomed to look for in his trea tises on physiology. The absence of these details has rendered many parts of the work vague, if not altogether incomprehensible, and has therefore proved a serious drawback to the usefulness of the book as an accompaniment to lectures on physiology as it is usu all y taught in our schools, and this deficiency the editor has endeavored to supply by brief notes and the intro duction of a large number of illustrations.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physiology for Medical Students and Physicians In the preparation of this book the author has endeavored to keep in mind two guiding principles: first, the importance of simplicity and lucidity in the presentation of facts and theories; and, second, the need of a judicious limitation of the material selected.

Excerpt from A Brief d104 of Physiology for Dental, Pre-Medical, and College Students It is not the aim of this little volume to replace the larger text-books of physiology among medical students, but rather to antedate them. It is hoped that it may be accorded some favor by those teachers of medical physi ology who take up the detailed study of body functions in connection with laboratory experiments but precede this by an introductory view of the whole subject.
