Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles of Physiology: And a Dissertation on the Functions of the Nervous System
The introduction which I have written, at the request Of the Council of the Sydenham Society, might suffice for a Preface also, if it were not that there are one or two matters to be mentioned which a Preface only can include.
In the first place, I earnestly request the reader's close at tention to the works contained in this Volume; partly, for my own sake, that I may not lose the sweetest reward of literary labour; but principally for his and for the interests of medical science and art. They belong to a field of research not yet fully entered upon by the medical profession. Emigrants from its ranks have been the Pilgrim Fathers of many, if not most, of the natural history sciences; but there is one that has yet to be perfected by its labours - the science Of mind.
