About The Book

<p>I have not named my authorities or given references to any passages in their books. My critics friendly or unfriendly may complain of this omission.</p><p> </p><p>But I hope they will not. I hope they will see that I have gathered my materials together for a clearly shown purpose with which particular references and frequent defined quotations would have interfered.</p><p> </p><p>I wanted to build a wayside cottage for travellers who are in haste and will soon pass on not a museum for the leisurely student.</p><p> </p><p>I hope then that my critics will criticize the cottage to their hearts' content-I shall do my best to learn from them but I beg them not to treat it as a museum whose curator has either not had the sense or not taken the trouble to ticket its contents.</p><p> </p><p>In place of references I have given in an appendix two short lists of easily accessible books which will give technical support to the substance of this little work. I have learnt much from them and taken-all but quoted-much.</p><p> </p><p>I make no apology for including among books from which I have learnt two of my own. Nothing teaches as solidly as trying to teach. And the record of a learner sometimes helps learners when the oracles of the learned fail.</p><p> </p><p>But I must acknowledge here my own great indebtedness to two of those learned my old instructors Sir Edward Sch��fer and Sir Edwin Ray Lankester whose admirable lessons in the biological sciences of which they are distinguished professors laid a scientific foundation in me for all my subsequent study.</p><p> </p>
