ene, thus not only making the pupil
acquainted with the wondrous workmanship of his own frame, but showing him
how to preserve it in a sound and healthy state. Avoiding technical terms,
as far as possible, he has brought the subject fully within the
comprehension of the young, and has clothed it with unusual interest, by
judicious references to the comparative physiology of the inferior animals.
Pictorial illustrations have been freely introduced, wherever it was
thought they could aid or interest the student.

Physiology cannot but be considered, by every intelligent and reflecting
mind, an exceedingly interesting and necessary study. It makes us
acquainted with the structure and uses of the organs of life, and the laws
by which we may keep them active and vigorous for the longest period. The
publishers would respectfully urge its importance on such teachers as have
not heretofore made it a regular branch in their institutions; and would
solicit, at the hands of all, an impartial examination of what is
pronounced by good judges, "the best elementary text-book" on the science.

_From _M. Y. BROWN_, Principal of Webster School, New Haven._

"I have used Comings' Class-Book of Physiology for nearly two school
terms in the First Department of my school. I am happy to say that I
regard it the _best text-book_ on this important branch with which I
have any acquaintance. The subjects are systematically arranged; the
principles, facts, and illustrations are clearly and fully represented
to the pupil. I find that his introduction of Comparative Anatomy and
Physics, tends greatly to increase the interest of the pupil in this
_most important_ and necessary study. I therefore can cheerfully
recommend this admirable work to my fellow-teachers as one of rare
excellence, and hope it may take the rank it deserves as a text-book
upon this subject."

_From _ABRAHAM POWELSON, JR._, Teacher, Brooklyn, New York._

"After a very careful examination of the Class-Book of Physiology, by
Comings, I can freely say that I consider it a performance of superior
excellence. It embodies a fund of information surpassing in importance
and variety that of any other work of the kind which has come under my
notice."
