Book synopsis

Excerpt from A Text Book of Physiology So short a time has passed since the appearance of the first edition that it has not seemed desirable to make any important changes. My previous decision not to introduce figures of instruments has been so generally disapproved, that I have waived my own judgment and inserted a number of illustrations, which I trust will be found to assist the reader. The areas of the cerebral convolutions, in spite of the difficulties surrounding the true interpretation of the phenomena resulting from their stimulation, are of such interest, especially to the medical profession, that I have introduced illustrative figures for which I have to thank the kindness of Dr Ferrier. Otherwise my efforts have been chiefly directed to removing inaccuracies and obscurities, in the hope of rendering the work more worthy of the favour with which it has been received. It will be observed that the largest changes and additions occur in the small print. I have to thank Dr Pye-Smith and other friends as well as previously unknown correspondents for their valuable suggestions; and I am, as before, greatly indebted for the help given me by my former pupils, Mr Dew-Smith, Mr Langley, and Mr Lea.
