| Item Description: | "The present volume completes the plan originally proposed of giving a summary view of the present state of physiological science. Many of the topics covered in this volume do not always fall under the cognizance of the physiologist; yet they are considered as bearing so intimate a connection with the animal frame as to afford sufficient ground for taking at least a cursory view of them. Topics discussed include generation (reproduction), vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, the connection of physical and intellectual faculties, associations and habits, volition and the passions, cranioscopy and physiognomy, varieties and temperaments, sleep and dreaming, and the decline and dissolution of the system"--Preface.
