A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fifth Edition of his work, the Author has carefully revised and corrected it, in all its parts, so as to render it more worthy of the success it has already obtained. The additions which have been made, will be found not to consist of idle discourses, or frivolous hypotheses. The ground-work and the order are the same, the Author has merely added to the mass of facts, supported, by additional proofs, the opinions which he had advanced, and developed those parts of his subject, which, from being explained in too concise a manner, might be involved in some degree of obscurity. A mong the variety of opinions which Criticism, oftener unjust than enlightened, has pronounced, in judging this work, there is one which requires to be refuted, because it proceeds from an erroneous idea of what an elementary work should be. The A uthor, it has been said ought to have contented himself with giving a view of the present state of the science, without any additions of his own, and he should have abstained from inserting new opinions, which, until they had received the sanction of the learned world, ought not to have been introduced into an elementary work. This objection may be answered, by considering that modern Physiology being, in some measure, a new and regenerated science, there will be found, in treating of it to its full extent, many deficiencies to be filled up, and many doctrines evidently erroneous, for which truths are to be substituted, which it is of importance to discover. Lavoisier, in his Elements of Chemistry, set forth, in a methodical order, truths which he himself had discovered :he introduced original ideas, not such as owe an appearance of originality, to minute explanation of what is already known, or to a general want of erudition, too prevalent in the present day. One of his most illustrious colleagues, in describing the state of the science, has

French edition. He has been anxious to get rid, as far as he could, of the foreign idiom and obscurities which he found in the translation; and he has introduced whatever new matter could conveniently be added to the body of the Work. He has made considerable additions to his A nnotations, as well those which accompany the authors text, as those which form the A ppendix. In order that the Work should not be too bulky, the Editor has enlarged the page much beyond the size of that of former editions. He has generally refrained from adducing in his Notes old or obsolete opinions, in order that he should have sufficient space wherein to discuss modern doctrines, and to state his own views.
