THE PHYSIOLOGIST’S NOTE-BOOK: A SUMMARY OF THE Present State of Physiological Science for Students.

BY

ALEX HILL, M.A., M.D.,

Master of Downing College, Cambridge.

_With Numerous Illustrations and Blank Pages for MS. Notes._

General Contents.--The Blood--The Vascular System--The Nerves--Muscle--Digestion--The Skin--The Kidneys--Respiration--The Senses--Voice and Speech--Central Nervous System--Reproduction--Chemistry of the Body.

CHIEF FEATURES OF DR. HILL’S NOTE-BOOK.

1. It helps the Student to CODIFY HIS KNOWLEDGE. 2. Gives a grasp of BOTH SIDES of an argument. 3. Is INDISPENSABLE for RAPID RECAPITULATION.

_The Lancet_ says of it:--“The work which the Master of Downing College modestly compares to a Note-book is an ADMIRABLE COMPENDIUM of our present information . . . will be a REAL ACQUISITION to Students . . . gives all ESSENTIAL POINTS. . . . The TYPOGRAPHICAL ARRANGEMENT is a chief feature of the book. . . . Secures at a glance the EVIDENCE on both sides of a theory.”

_The Hospital_ says:--“The Physiologist’s Note-book bears the hall-mark of the Cambridge School, and is the work of one of the most successful of her teachers. . . . Will be INVALUABLE to students.”

_The British Medical Journal_ commends in the volume--“Its admirable diagrams, its running bibliography, its clear Tables, and its concise statement of the anatomical aspects of the subject.”

“If a Student could rely on remembering every word which he had ever heard or read, such a book as this would be unnecessary; but experience teaches that he constantly needs to recall the form of an argument and to make sure of the proper =classification of his facts=, although he does not need a second time to follow the author up all the short steps by which the ascent was first made. With a view to rendering the book useful for rapid recapitulation, I have endeavoured to strike out every word which was not essential to clearness, and thus, without I hope falling into ‘telegram’ English, to give the text the form which it may be supposed to take in a well-kept Note-book; at the same time, space has been left for the =introduction in MS.= of such additional facts and arguments as seem to the reader to bear upon the subject-matter. For the same reason the drawings are reduced to =diagrams=. All details which are not necessary to the comprehension of the principles of construction of the apparatus or organ, as the case may be, are omitted, and it is hoped that the drawings will, therefore, be easy to grasp, remember, and reproduce.

“As it is intended that the ‘Note-book’ should be essentially a Student’s book, no references are given to foreign literature or to recondite papers in English; but, on the other hand, references are given to a number of =classical English memoirs=, as well as to descriptions in text-books which appear to me to be particularly lucid, and the Student is strongly recommended to study the passages and Papers referred to.”--_Extract from Author’s Preface._
