Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Body at Work: A Treatise on the Principles of Physiology
In many cases the value of a conclusion depends upon the reputation for insight and accuracy oi the physiologist who recorded the observations upon which it is based. It is no want of appreciation of the genius of the workers who have contributed most largely to the advance of the science which has led me to omit, save in a few classical instances, the names of all authorities. It is solely due to a desire to lighten this book of all details not essential to the comprehension of the proposi tions which it sets forth.
