Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the British Marine Polyzoa, Vol. 1 of 2 Two things I desire to do in this Preface - to indicate briefly the aim which I have had before me in the preparation of the present work, and to acknowledge the friendly cooperation and help which have contributed so largely to give it the measure of completeness which it may possess. I must remind the reader that the work professes to be a 'History;' and as such I have endeavoured to make it, so far as my opportunities would permit, an exhaustive account of the organisms with which it deals. I have not aimed at the terse and almost epigrammatic diagnosis in which some of the early systematists excelled, believing that it no longer meets the requirements of science. I have substituted for it detailed and minute description, taking account, not merely of a few salient characters, but of all the minor features and varietal modifications of the specific type.
