- Summary:
- "The object of the present volume is to lay before the public a plain and intelligible description of the structure and uses of some of the more important organs of the human body, and to show how information of this kind may be usefully applied both to the preservation of health and to the improvement of physical and mental education. In selecting the functions to be treated of, I have preferred to examine those which are most influential in their operation on the general system, and at the same time least familiarly known"--Preface.
