Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Scientific Terms, Pronouncing, Etymological, and Explanatory, Chiefly Comprising Terms in Botany, Natural History, Anatomy, Medicine, and Veterinary Science, With an Appendix of Specific Names The increasingly numerous class of learners and junior students in oar higher class schools and colleges, as well as of general readers, experience the want of a 'Manual of Scientific Terms' specially suited for the particular stage of their studies. The present work is an attempt to furnish such Lists of Terms in Botany, Natural History, Chemistry, Anatomy, Medicine, and Veterinary Science, as may be met with in the student's ordinary text-books, and in the current literature of the day. No attempt has been made to supply an exhaustive vocabulary. The selected words have been taken from the more popular text-books; and the definitions are very generally given in the language employed in them, though often simplified. The Author feds assured that the special end in view, in the preparation of the present work, has been best served by making this legitimate use of such text-books; for the language and phraseology employed in his text-books must become familiar to the student in the course of his studies. The general terms in Botany will be found a pretty exhaustive list All the names of Orders, and generally Sub-orders, as found in Balfour's Manual of Botany, have been inserted Only, however, such names of genera and species are given as have some noteworthy particulars or qualities affirmed of them. The list of Latin Anatomical terms will be found a very full one; but only such compound terms are given as are deemed most useful, inasmuch as the Latin compounds are now very often laid aside, and their English equivalents employed instead. The terms in Natural History, Chemistry, Medicine, and Veterinary Science, will be found in sufficient numbers to meet ordinary requirements. Each term is followed by its re-spelling in simple phonetic characters, and accented, while the syllabication employed is that laid down in the Authors Handy English Word-Book and Complete Dictionary Appendix. By using these methods, the pronunciation has been indicated with very great precision. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
