The issue of the present volume may be considered as an attempt to supply what the author has long considered to be a deficiency in the literature of this country, -that, namely, of an educational treatise on animal physiology, which should at the same time communicate to its readers the facts of greatest importance as regards to their practical bearing, and present these in such a form as to place the learner in possession of the essential principles of physiological science. The importance of the study of animal physiology, as a branch of general education, can scarcely be over-estimated; and it is remarkable that it is not more generally appreciated. It might have been supposed that curiosity alone would have led the mind of man to the eager study of those wonderful actions by which his body is constructed and maintained; and that a knowledge of those laws, the observance of which is necessary for the due performance of these actions, -in other words, for the maintenance of his health, -would have been an object of universal pursuit. The author's aim is to disseminate knowledge to aid in this pursuit.

Some of the original ideas contained in this book have appeared in scientific and medical publications, such as the American Naturalist and Journal of Neurology and Psychiatry, during the past five years, as the author presented the papers containing them to biological, microscopical, medical and general scientific societies. In their condensed form, herein, the separate theses are revised and amended in conformity with more recent psychological and anatomical research. The author was compelled to content himself with including enough of the mental operations of man to fairly illustrate the comparative method, which will again be applied especially to the mechanism of the mind of man in a forthcoming work to be entitled "Psychology." Personally made studies of savages, infants, and all classes of men living in so-called civilized communities, with his published and unpublished clinical and pathological reports of cases of insanity enable the author to advantageously review the literature of psychology and psychiatry. His intention is to elaborate, as far as possible, a practical mental science which will reconcile the observations of anatomists, psychologists and pathologists with direct reference to the more intelligent treatment of insanity.
