Abstract
THE writer of this little book states in his preface that “he has brought together systems, facts, statements, and reasons, taken from all available sources, with the view of elucidating several important truths about man, which are at the present day either called in question or absolutely denied.” The extent to which he has consulted, or the accuracy with which he has quoted from, original sources, we gathered from the fact that he entirely passes over, as unworthy of notice, the systems of Goethe and Oken, and from the statement that the “Philosophic Zoologique” of G. B. Lemarck (sic) was published in 1830.
