Excerpt from An Introduction to General Biology
The third change is the omission of the laboratory directions, these having been found unsuitable. The needs of different teachers differ so widely that it is impossible to draw up a scheme that shall answer for all. In place of the laboratory directions for students we have therefore given, in an appendix, a series of prae tical suggestions to teachers, leaving it to them to work out de tailed directions, if desired, by the help of the standard labora tory manuals. These suggestions are the result of a good deal of experience on the part of many teachers besides ourselves, and we hope they will be found useful in procuring and preparing material (often a matter of considerable difficulty), and in decid ing just what the student may reasonably be expected to do.
For the rest, the original matter has been thoroughly revised.

Excerpt from An Introduction to General Biology
Several years ago it was our good fortune to follow, as graduate students, a course of lectures and practical study in General Biology under the direction of Professor Martin, at Johns Hopkins University. So interesting and suggestive was the general method employed in this course which, in its main outlines, had been marked out by Huxley and Martin ten years before, that we were persuaded that beginners in biology should always be introduced to the subject in some similar way. The present work thus owes its origin to the influence of the authors of the "Elementary Biology," our deep indebtedness to whom we gratefully acknowledge.
It is still an open question whether the beginner should pursue the logical but different course of working upwards from the simple to the complex, or adopt the easier and more practical method of working downwards from familiar higher forms. Every teacher of the subject knows how great are the practical difficulties besetting the novice, who, provided for the first time with a compound microscope, is confronted with Yeast, Protococcus, or Amoeba; and on the other hand, how hard it is to sift out what is general and essential from the heterogeneous details of a mammal or a flowering plant. In the hope of lessening the practical difficulties of the logical method we have used for some time with our own classes, and have found practical and effective.
It has not been our ambition to prepare an exhaustive treatise.
