Excerpt from Biology
In the following pages an attempt is made to outline some of the more important principles of the science of Biology, and to illustrate in simple terms the inter-relationship of structure and function in living organisms. Since Biology is founded on Physics and Chemistry, an elementary knowledge of these sciences is presupposed, such as may be gained from a study of the volumes of this series dealing with them. Similarly, the present volume is introductory to the Primers of Zoology, Botany, and Physiology, where the fundamental principles here dealt with are treated in greater detail in special relationship to plants and animals respectively.
It is quite possible that I may have omitted much that another author would have inserted, and enlarged on points which some might consider as out of place in a booklet of this size. Be that as it may, I can only hope that what I have written may prove of interest and service to those whose studies have lain in other departments of knowledge than Biology.
