Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Princeton Review: November, 1884
The View which we may take of man's position relatively to the beings which are nearest to him, namely, the lower animals, will depend on our point of sight - whether that of mere anatomy and physiology, or that of psychology and pneumatology as well. This distinction is the more important, since, under the somewhat delusive term biology, it has been customary tb mix up all these considerations, while on the other hand those anatomists who regard all the functions of organic beings as merely mechanical and physical, do not scruple to employ this term biology for their science, tho on their hypothesis there can be no such thing as life, and consequently the use of the word by them must be either superstitious or hypocritical.
