Abstract
THIS is a small elementary text-book with a scope similar to that of Huxley's “Elementary Lessons in Physiology.” It presents clearly and accurately the main facts of physiology and anatomy from a general educational point of view. While the skeleton, muscles and joints are dismissed with appropriate brevity, the central nervous system, sense organs, excretory organs, and the alimentary, respiratory, and circulatory systems are treated in some detail. As opportunity, offers, matters pertaining to general health find suitable mention. The text is lightened by frequent and interesting references to comparative anatomy. The illustrations are taken from standard text-books of anatomy, and are both numerous and well chosen. Although the book is primarily intended for students in a school of agriculture, it ought to have a wide and general circulation.
