Excerpt from An Introduction to General Physiology: With Practical Exercises
It seemed scarcely possible to add summaries to the chapters, as in my larger book, for the reason that all the matter contained in so small a space is of nearly equal importance, and a summary would have been almost as long as the chapter itself. It would also tend to encourage what I wish most to avoid, namely, any kind of merely learning by heart. The student may find it profitable to make abstracts for himself.

Excerpt from An Introduction to General Physiology: With Practical Exercises
To write a satisfactory text-book for those commencing the study of a science is well known to be of greater difficulty than to write one for advanced students. In fact, it would probably be true to say that the former task is a severe test of the author's comprehension of the subject. I venture to hope that the thought given to the present work may not be found to have been in vain. Any readers who may find parts of it expressed insufficiently clearly are requested to help the author with suggestions.
It was found to require much consideration to decide what should be omitted. My firm conviction is, that a thorough understanding of the main fundamental conceptions is of more value than a superficial acquaintance with a large number of facts and theories, even if it leads, for the moment, to the omission of what many may regard as essential. The student will probably be surprised to find how many of the more detailed descriptions follow naturally from a knowledge of a few general principles, when these are clearly grasped. For this reason, more space has been given to certain elementary facts of physics and chemistry than might be supposed necessary; but it has been my experience that, although a student may have attended good courses in these sciences, he docs not readily apply the knowledge to physiological problems. Moreover, there arc some things essential to physiology, but often regarded as outside the scope of an elementary course in the preliminary sciences. I intentionally lay myself open to the charge of inserting matter that is not, strictly speaking, physiological.
The rather "intensive" treatment sometimes adopted leads to what some may regard as an excursion into advanced regions. But this is unavoidable when the conception cannot be passed over without risk of error.
In another way, the manner of presentation adopted may meet with objection.
