The Cell as the Unit of Life, and other Lectures delivered at the Royal Institution, London, 1899–1902 An Introduction to Biology

Abstract

THE volume before us is the outcome of courses of lectures delivered some years ago by the late Dr. Allan Macfadyen in his capacity of Fullerian professor of physiology in the Royal Institution. Naturally, owing to the time that has elapsed since they were delivered, some modification must have been rendered necessary, and Prof. Hewlett, who has undertaken the task of editing the book, is to be congratulated on the way in which he has performed his part.

The Cell as the Unit of Life, and other Lectures delivered at the Royal Institution, London, 1899–1902. An Introduction to Biology.

By the late Allan Macfadyen Prof. R. Tanner Hewlett. Pp. xvi+381. (London: J. and A. Churchill, 1908.) Price 7s. 6d. net.
