A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In selecting the functions to be treated of, I have preferred to examine those which are at once most influential in their operation on the general system, and at the same time least familiarly known. Some, accordingly, whose sphere of action is comparatively subordinate, I have not even named ;and to others of essential consequence in the animal economy, such as that of digestion, I have merely alluded. To include the first would have added to the difficulties of the reader, by the multiplicity of unimportant details; and to treat of the latter would have been, in a great measure, a work of supererogation, as treatises on the digestive organs are already in extensive circulation.

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.
