Sinopsis

Excerpt from Twelve Lectures on Comparative Physiology: Delivered Before the Lowell Institute, in Boston, January and February, 1849

The knowledge thus obtained, constitutes the science Of Anatomy. But however perfectly these investigations may be pursued; however skilfully the Anatomist may dissect, however nicely the Microscopist. May observe; however accurately the Chemist may analyze - they, in the end, give us but an imperfect idea of the objects for which an imal structures were created. Zto obtain a more perfect knowledge, they must be examined in a state Of activity, during life. For the researches of the Ana'tomist will never demonstrate to us that a seed wasintended to produce aperfect. Organized being, or that muscular fibre was intended to con tract, or that a nerve was intended to carry its pe culiar influence to and from the nervous centres.
