Synopsis
Excerpt from Rudiments of Animal Physiology: For Use in Schools, and for Private Instruction
Both boys and girls received lessons on these subjects from Mr Downie, and the ages of the children generally ranged from nine to twelve years. The subject seems particularly fitted for interesting boys during the latter years of their classical studies, and it is hoped that the teachers of these branches will find that a few hours weekly may be profitably devoted to such lessons. If possible, the teacher should endeavour to make the lessons of one season include sections that have a close connexion with each other such, for example, as those giving an account of the organic functions, or at least those of Digestion, Circulation, and Respiration. Section VII., giving an account of the parts employed in locomotion, and Section IX.
