"Coming as I do in the most beautiful season of the year, into the midst of some of the most beautiful scenery on the continent and from the midst of scenery differently but equally beautiful--coming in mid-summer into the valley of the River from the valley of the Lake--you will not be surprised that my subject has connections with the environment in which I wrote and in which I speak. Surrounded, both while thinking and while giving utterance to my thoughts, by Beauty--composing and speaking in the midst of a material nature saturated and suffused with this element, it will not appear forced or unnatural if I find in it, the theme of our reflections at this hour. It is not my purpose however to surrender myself, or to lead others to surrender themselves, to the full influence and impression of this quality, and to fall into a vague and rhapsodic train of thought or feeling. On the contrary, my aim will be purely and perhaps intensely practical, and I hope with the aid of your own after-thought to make the particular aspect of the general subject of Beauty, that will be exhibited, contribute to scholarship, culture, and character. The specific subject then, to which I would invite your attention, is--The true theory and relative position of the Beautiful with reference more particularly to Culture and to Character"--Book.

The term Physiology is derived from two Greek words, which, united, signify the science of life. In its widest sense, it is applied alike to animals and vegetables, but is more generally used in reference to man. The study of this science has heretofore been mostly confined to members of the medical profession, and others only who possessed very general information on scientific subjects. But of late it is happily becoming a popular branch of education, and its importance as such is now generally acknowledged. To trace the development of the organs and functions of the human system, and to observe in some degree the analogy and correspondence of the external part with the internal, --of the body with the soul, --will be the object of the following pages.
