By John Davy, M.D., F.R.S., London and Edinburgh, Inspector-General of Army Hospitals, etc. London: Williams and Norgate. 1863. THE publication by the veteran observer and experimental physiologist, Dr. John Davy, of a new volume of "Physiological Researches," demands something more at our hands than a mere notification. This work, like the two volumes, bearing nearly the same title, which preceded it 1838, is mostly composed of papers published in scientific journals, and in the Proceedings and Transactions of the Royal and other Societies. The author has done well in collecting from these quarters the numerous papers included in the volume, for by this course he has put within the easy reach of writers on and workers at Physiology a mass of information on many subjects, much of which might not have been otherwise easily attainable. The esteem in which the observations of Dr. Davy are held, both in this country and abroad, may be judged of by casting the eye down the index of any of the larger systematic treatises on Physiology, when his name will be seen frequently referred to, especially in connection with the blood, animal heat, and animal electricity. Much, perhaps, of the love of, and skill in, carrying out experimental inquiries, which he has displayed, may be ascribed to the special scientific training which he received early in life, under the superintendence of his brother, Sir Humphry Davy-England's greatest experimental Chemist. But we are particularly bound to commend the zeal and energy, which have marked his career, in carrying out a series of researches, some of which were of a complicated description, under many disadvantages. The frequent changes of residence, necessitated by his army medical appointments, and the consequent N. H. R.-1864. B |
