Abstract
THIS book is a multum in parvo. It gives in a most condensed and yet most clear and precise form, an account of the method of performing the most important experiments in physiology. It will be useful not only to students, but to practitioners who wish, with a small expenditure of time and labour, to become acquainted with the present state of our information, and the most important points in physiology, and the experimental data on which our knowledge rests., The exercises relating to the physiology of muscle and nerve are especially worthy of commendation. They make clear to the student the different arrangements of electrical apparatus, the comprehension of which is to many an insuperable difficulty, not only during their student's career, but during the whole of their lives. The few and simple diagrams in the text are just what were wanted to make the experiments readily understood. Half an hour spent with this little work will, we think, give to the beginner a better grasp of the subject of which it treats than days spent over more elaborate text-books, however good the latter may be for advanced students.
