⁂ Since its first appearance in 1880, Prof. Landois’ Text-Book of Physiology has been translated into three Foreign languages, and passed through Seven Large Editions.
The Fourth English Edition has again been thoroughly revised, and a new feature introduced—that of printing some of the Illustrations in Colours. The number of figures has also been largely increased, from 494 in the First, to 845 in the present Edition. In order to do full justice to the coloured illustrations, and to admit of more of the text being printed in large type, it has been found necessary to put the work once again in two volumes.
Opinions of the Press.
“So great are the advantages offered by Prof. Landois’ Text-book, from the EXHAUSTIVE and EMINENTLY PRACTICAL manner in which the subject is treated, that it has passed through FOUR large editions in the same number of years. . . . Dr. Stirling’s annotations have materially added to the value of the work. Admirably adapted for the Practitioner. . . . With this Text-book at command, no Student could fail in his examination.”—The Lancet.
“One of the MOST PRACTICAL WORKS on Physiology ever written, forming a ‘bridge’ between Physiology and Practical Medicine. . . . Its chief merits are its completeness and conciseness. . . . The additions by the Editor are able and judicious. Excellently clear, attractive, and succinct.”—Brit. Med. Journal.
