Présentation de l'éditeur

It is now nearly three years since I made my first attempt to write a work on tlie breeding of domestic animals. I had collected a considerable mass of information, chiefly so-called facts, and it seemed an easy matter to bring these into shape for the illustration of principles which could be enunciated as laws. I soon, however, realized the difficulty of usinothis material to produce an harmonious result, as the groupinowas not only arbitrary, but the laws which they were intended to illustrate were but empirical formulae, whose mutual connections could not be shown. I therefore determined to seek, through further study, a solution for my difficulties; and I may here say that my realization of the importance of force as fashioning the phenomena of vitality came entirely from a series of inductions. The facts were grouped under laws which seemed to formulate the conditions nnder which they occurred, and these laws, in turn considered as unities, pointed unmistakably to a superior law, which in its turn influenced their occurrence, the law of persistence of force. This brief paper is not presented in order to prove a theory, but as an outgrowth arising from the supposed recognition of a cause.
