Abstract
TO one familiar with modern text-books of human physiology, the title of this work suggests something out of the common run. Excellent “elements” of the subject, “manuals,” and “text-books-” exist in plenty. Indeed, English-speaking students are exceptionally fortunate in possessing as they do such a selection of trustworthy and often attractive presentations of the established facts of the science. At the same time many teachers have undoubtedly felt that the existing students' text-book, admirable as it is, is not in all things in tune with the times, and that a new presentation in which more attention should be paid to recently revealed or recently applied “principles” would be a welcome acquisition. Prof. Starling's work is a response to this commonly-felt desiderium.
