    consulted by any engaged in the study of the Science; and, more especially, such an one as the student may ) i advanta'yowXy v e during his attendance upon uv ^, and io ^ -aring for examinations. The ., V essentia/' t- > ' , ^an required that only so much AnatoTxiy, C i^, , and the other sciences allied to Physirlofry, suouid be introduced as might serve to remi.id the reader of knowledge already acquired, or to be obtained, by the study of works devoted to these subjects. For the same end, it was necessary to omit all discussions of unsettled questions^ and expressions of personal opinion; but ample references are given^ not only to works in which these may be read^ but to those by which the study of Physiology may be^ in its widest extent^ pursued. For the convenience of students the subjects are arranged on a plan corresponding with that in which they are taught in the courses of Lectures on Physio- logy, delivered in the principal metropolitan schools of medicine. I cannot sufficiently express my obligations to Mr. Paget, from whom I have received the most liberal aid, in every stage of the work; and who has, more- over, afforded me access to his manuscript notes of Lectures. I have also to offer my best thanks to Dr. Baly for many kind suggestions made by him in the course of the work. William Senhouse Kirkes. Sept. •29th, 1848.
