This is a sketch of the general plan that I have adopted in my
lectures. Those who have attended them, will find here some changes in
one part, and additions in another. But they can easily arrange under
it all the facts that are contained in this work, if they wish to refer
them to a physiological classification, instead of distributing them
according to the anatomical order in which I present them here.
