The Five Senses of Man (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Five Senses of Man

This book lays no claim either to systematic com pleteness or to popularity understood In the widest sense Of the word. It contains, 'oi course, a general system, which has been elaborated in Treatises and d104-books in the course of time; but this has been interrupted in many ways by physical and physiological explanations, which a proper treatment of the subject required, and it has therefore been found necessary to subject it to many changes in order to give it a popular appearance. So far the author has aimed at popularity but he has endeavoured at times to take the reader a step beyond the domain of ordinary popular treatises; and, if he has not succeeded in s'moothing his path sufficiently, he entreats the reader's forbearance.
