    scopic observations of my friend Joseph J. Lister and myself, in relation to the tissues and fluids of animals. The obvious relation which they bear to the objects of Dr. Edward's work, will, I trust, be a sufficient apology for the introduction of them. The notes which are also given in the Appendix, are few and generally short. For the materials of the Appendix, lam greatly indebted to the kindness of my friends, and it gives me pleasure to embrace this opportunity of acknowledging my obligations in this respect to Sir Astley Cooper, Dr. Stephens, Dr. Marshall Hall, Dr. C. Thompson, my valued friend Luke Howard, C. Woodward and to my learned and accomplished friend A. R. Dusgate. I cannot conclude this preface without ex- pressing a hope, that the students and younger members of the profession may zealously pursue the investigation of the various interesting sub- jects which physiology presents, in the philoso- phical method of which Dr. Edwards has given so striking an example.
