Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Compend of Human Physiology, Especially: Adapted for the Use of Medical Students Preface to Fourth Edition A fourth edition of the Compend of Physiology having been called for, the author has taken the opportunity to revise many of the sections, to insert a few figures, and to add some ten pages of additional matter, which, it is hoped, will make the book more complete and increase its usefulness to the student. Preface to Second Edition This Compend of Physiology is the outgrowth of the author's system of examinations in the Quiz room during a number of years, and was written at the request of medical students who desired a compact and convenient arrangement of the fundamental facts of human physiology. As most medical students enter upon the study of physiology before they have acquired a thorough knowledge of anatomy, it was thought desirable that such anatomical details should also be inserted as would be essential to a clear conception of the functions about to be studied. It was believed that it would be practically useful to students during their attendance upon lectures and in reviewing the subject prior to examinations. The fact that during the first year after its publication the first edition has been exhausted, proves that it has met the needs of students. In preparing a second edition the author has carefully revised the entire work, and inserted some fifteen pages of additional matter, which it is hoped will still further increase the usefulness of the book. To those teachers of physiology who have kindly noticed and recommended the Compend to their students I tender my thanks, and trust that in its improved condition it will continue to merit their approval.
