Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of the Comparative Anatomy of Animals, Vol. 1
Having found by experience that beginners find great difficulty 1n apprehending the full meaning of the cell-theory at the commencement of their studies, I have departed from the course usually pursued in lectures and practical instruction, and instead of beginning with the study of cells, I have taken the common frog as a type of animal organisation. The general anatomy of the frog is first described in some detail; the microscopic structure ofits organs and tissues is next explained, and then the cell-theory and the phenomena of the cell-division are dealt with. In this way I have attempted to lead the student gradually from familiar to new and unfamiliar concep t1ons.
