Principles Of Universal Physiology PDF Download

Excerpt from Principles of Universal Physiology: A Reform in the Theories of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Cosmology This little book is a compendium issued in advance of a complete work called "Universal Physiology," which intends to reform the whole theory of Natural Science - i.e., Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Cosmology. This comprehensive theory, which completely rectifies the opinions held by the authors of such treatises, we call Physiological. We adopt the word Physiology in its etymological sense - discourse of Nature; and though it has been very commonly employed by authors instead of Biology, our application of the word coincides with this meaning also, inasmuch as that the primordial effects in nature are those of living bodies called by authors physiologic. This Physiology is qualified as "Universal" in order to denote that we comprehend the theory of Nature in abstract, without detailing any particulars or concrete facts.
