Mercers' Company Lectures on Recent Advances in the Physiology of Digestion

Abstract

AS time advances it becomes ever clearer to many of those whose business it is to consider the manner in which university teaching should be carried on that the usual systematic course of lectures on the whole range of any of the larger divisions of human knowledge is an anachronism surviving from the time when there were no good text-books, and knowledge had to be conveyed directly from lecturer to student.

Mercers' Company Lectures on Recent Advances in the Physiology of Digestion.

By Prof. Ernest H. Starling Pp. x + 156. (London: Archibald Constable and Co., Ltd., 1906.) Price 6s. net.
