Thus it would appear that the resistance of living matter to cold depends greatly on the special form of that matter, and that the limit of the Euglena, simple organism as it is, is much higher than that of the Bacterium.

Excerpt from A Manual of the Anatomy of Invertebrated Animals

On the other hand, the biological sciences are sharply marked Off from the abiological, or those which treat of the phenomena manifested by not-living matter, in so far as the properties of living matter distinguish it absolutely from all other kinds of things, and as the present state of knowledge furnishes us with no link between the living and the not living.

Excerpt from A Manual of the Anatomy of Invertebrated Animals

The present volume on the Anatomy of Invertebrated Animals fulfills an undertaking to produce a treatise on comparative anatomy for students, into which I entered two-and-twenty years ago. A considerable installment of the work, relating wholly to the Invertebrata, appeared in the Medical Times and Gazette for the years 1856 and 1857, under the title of "Lectures on General Natural History." But a variety of circumstances having conspired, about that time, to compel me to direct my attention more particularly to the Vertebrata, I was led to interrupt the publication of the "Lectures" and to complete the Vertebrate half of the proposed work first. This appeared in 1871, as a "Manual of the Anatomy of Vertebrated Animals."

A period of incapacity for any serious toil prevented me from attempting, before 1874, to grapple with the immense mass of new and important information respecting the structure, and especially the development, of Invertebrated animals, which the activity of a host of investigators has accumulated of late years.
