An Introduction to General Physiology: With Practical Exercises
Excerpt from An Introduction to General Physiology: With Practical Exercises
It seemed scarcely possible to add summaries to the chapters, as in my larger book, for the reason that all the matter contained in so small a space is of nearly equal importance, and a summary would have been almost as long as the chapter itself. It would also tend to encourage what I wish most to avoid, namely, any kind of merely learning by heart. The student may find it profitable to make abstracts for himself.
