Excerpt from Cellular Pathology as Based Upon Physiological and Pathological Histology: Twenty Lectures Delivered in the Pathological Institute of Berlin During the Months of February, March and April, 1858
The lectures, which I here publish with the View of accomplishing this double purpose, have found such very patient auditors, that they may perhaps venture to hope for indulgent readers likewise. How greatly they stand in need of indulgence, I myself feel very strongly. Every kind of lecture can only satisfy the actual hearers; and especially when it is chiefly intended to serve as an explanation of drawings on a board, and microscopical preparations, it must necessarily appear heterogeneous and defective to the reader. When the intention is to give a concise view of a comprehensive subject, it necessarily becomes impossible to bring forward all the arguments that could be advanced, and to support them by the requisite quo tations. In lectures such as these too the personal views of the lee turer may seem to be brought forward with undue exclusiveness, but as it is his bus1ness to give a clear exposition of the actual state of the science of which he treats, he is obliged to define with precision the principles, the correctness of which he has proved by his own experience.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an engaging and influential work that delves into the fundamental building blocks of life: cells. The author examines how cells function in both healthy and diseased states, presenting a revolutionary theory known as cellular pathology. This theory, challenging the prevailing humoral and solidistic schools of thought, emphasizes that all living things are composed of cells, and that these cells are the primary actors in all biological processes. The author meticulously explores the structure and function of various cells and tissues, highlighting the importance of the nucleus within each cell and its role in growth and multiplication. The author further investigates the significance of cell-contents in determining the unique functions of different tissues. The book explores the interconnectedness of cells within tissues, how they communicate and share resources. It lays out a framework for understanding the intricate network of cells that constitutes the entire organism. By examining tissues, organs, and systems, the author provides a comprehensive view of the body as a dynamic social organization of individual cells. This book's insights, challenging traditional medical thought, have had a profound impact on the study of disease, laying the foundation for a new understanding of how the body functions and responds to various challenges. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
