Excerpt from Manual of the Physiology of Man, or a Concise Description of the Phenomena of His Organization

Organized beings, on the contrary, have a deter mined end. Death, a name given to this end, hap pens with the entire cessation of the nutritive func tions; the body then returns into the class of inor ganic substances.

Mineralogy, chemistry, and natural philosophy, have for their object the investigation of inorganic bodies, whilst the knowledge of organization, and of the phenomena of organized bodies, belong to anato my and general physiology; the numerous bodies which are the object of these two last sciences are divided into vegetable or inanimate beings, and ani mals or animated beings; the general characters that we havejust pointed out in organized bodies,equally belong to both; but there exist between them some nicer distinctions, which justify us in the division of these beings into two distinct classes.
