Physiology For % Common Schools, By Mrs....
Physiology for Common SchoolsBMrs . Charles Bray . LongmanGreen
Longman , and Roberts , 1860 . , y , , "We cordially recoramend this little elementary treatise of Mrs . _Bi-ay ' s
to tlie notice , not only of teachers in " common schools , " but of all who are engaged in the work of instructing the young ; and who
feel , as we ourselves do , the deep importance of making the study of physiology a part of educational training .
Mrs . Bray has brought great earnestness of purpose to her task . From the more detailed works of various eminent writers , she has
carefully selected those leading facts , concerning which professional men are agreed ; _slxe has treated her subject at once briefly and
clearly ; and by her very simple explanation of scientific terms , where she has found it necessary to employ them , has removed a difficulty
too often felt by the young beginner . The value of the work is enhanced by its moral and religious bearing . We gladly strengthen
our recommendation by selections from this useful addition to our elementary works , though in so doing we feel we scarcely do justice
to the completeness with which Mrs . Bray has treated the subject . The object which the author has mainly had in view is set forth
in the preface . She says : — " This and small is work is chiefl to make y intended as ible a to lesson the - children book for of our the common
classes schools , so much an of attempt the nature of the intellig vital s and functions as shall _]) oorer ive them some correct ideas with respect to the organ means by which disease may g be
