Elements of physiology [Elektronisk resurs].

• "This work begins with a prolegomena on general physiology. Next, special physiology is discussed: Book I— Of the circulating fluids, their motion, and the vascular system; Book II— Of the chemical changes produced in the organic fluids and organised textures under the influence of the vital laws; and Book III— Physiology of the nerves. The translator aimed to render a faithful version of the original. However, in some instances the order in which the facts, and inductions from them, are stated, has been altered, that their connection might be easier of comprehension. In other cases it has been deemed advisable to omit from the text, and to place in the form of notes, discussions on subjects which, though interesting in themselves, did not appear to come within the limits of what is necessary or desirable in a textbook on human physiology. The paragraph where a new topic commences has been headed with a short statement of this in italics. Steel plates and woodcuts, which, the translator hopes will be found useful, have also been added. The additions made by the translator consist almost entirely of newly-discovered facts. French to English standard of measurement has also been taken into account in this translation."
