Abstract

THE application in recent years of physical and chemical methods of investigation to the subject of physiology has yielded an enormous amount of knowledge, which is usually of so detailed and descriptive a character that its literature is rapidly becoming the despair of the student with a strictly scientific mind. It is consequently very refreshing to meet a truly philosophical contribution like the present volume.

Blood: a Study in General Physiology.

By Prof. Lawrence J. Henderson. (Yale University: Mrs. Hepsa Ely Silliman Memorial Lectures.) Pp. xix + 397. (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1928.) 23s. net.
