Aristotle
Abstrak
HERE is the Greek text, faced by excellent translations, of the three works of Aristotle of most interest to students in animal physiology, namely, "Parts of Animals", "Movement of Animals"and "Progression of Animals". Dr. Marshall's "Foreword"sets the right key for the reader, namely, composition leading to function, first tissues consolidated into organs. Aristotle is altogether charming; his method is that of science—and students and the dilettanti, who read, will be delighted. The food of plants "is already concocted before it enters them, and in return for it they yield their fruit and seeds". Horns on the head "offer the least possible hindrance to the movements of the body in general". "The Progression of Animals"is quite a basal treatise for research, so popular to-day, on the swimming and other movements of animals.AristotleDr.A.
