Excerpt from Bacteria and Their Products
In the following pages an attempt is made to give some account of the main facts in Bacteriology, and of the life-history of Bacteria and closely allied organisms, and also to discuss the more important theories as to the part played by them in Nature's Economy; especially in their relation to the commoner fermentative, putrefactive, and disease processes.
It may be held by some of my readers that too much prominence is given to certain questions, whilst others have been relegated to a comparatively obscure position, and that some points have been accentuated, perhaps at the expense of others; but to such criticism it may be answered that whilst some facts carry conviction along with them, others can only be properly appreciated when seen by stage lights. On the other hand, many points have of set purpose been lightly touched upon because experience is constantly bringing home the fact that what is new to-day may be out of date to-morrow. I have, therefore, thought it better, in most instances, to confine myself to an exposition of well accredited facts and to a discussion of some of the more stable theories.
