Synopsis

Excerpt from The Work of the Digestive Glands

IN preparing a second English edition of the work OF the digestive glands the translator (with the permission of the author) has endeavoured to bring the subject-matter up to date without materially enlarging the Scope of the work. The addi tions are chie?y culled from the results of investigations carried out along lines already indicated in the previous edition, by pupils or former pupils of the St. Petersburg Laboratory. With the exception of Lecture IV. - which is largely new and written from material supplied by Professor Pavlov - they are widely scattered throughout the book.

Two new chapters (x. And XI.) on the Muscular Movements of the Alimentary Canal have also been added by the translator. It is hoped they will increase the usefulness of the work. For the sake of uniformity they have been put in lecture form. Several new illustrations have been added, and grateful acknowledgments are made to Professor Starling and to Dr. Arthur Hertz for their permission to use certain of these as well as for the loan of some of the electrotypes employed in them.

One other change has been made in this edition. English equivalents of Russian proper names have been used for the most part throughout.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
