Summary:

"During the latter part of last year, circumstances beyond human control subjected me to so much bodily fatigue and mental anxiety, that at their unfavourable termination I felt indisposed to prosecute the study of those subjects which my former investigations would have led me to follow. Under these circumstances, I rather desired amusement than labour, and from this cause I determined to comply with the suggestions of several scientific friends, who strongly recommended me to demonstrate the bearings of Electro-biology on the various matters which are comprised within the range of Electro-biological research"--Preface.
