Excerpt from On the Physics and Physiology of Protoplasmic Streaming in PlantsThe following work is the outcome of a series of observations commenced at Leipzig in 1894, continued in Birmingham 1897 1898, and during a two years' stay in Oxford (1898 but not completed until 1902 in Birmingham. For convenience, the Physics (including Chemistry) and the Physiology of protoplasmic movement are arranged in separate chapters, although any such division is entirely arbitrary. Under the first heading those phenomena of protoplasmic movement are discussed which can i be directly referred to physical and chemical causes, whereas under Physiology we deal with those 'vital' phenomena which cannot as yet be thus resolved. The work on which the latter chapter is based was mainly carried out at Oxford, but almost all the purely physical work has been done in Birmingham, and a part of the latter could not have been accomplished had not Prof. Poynting kindly placed the resources of the Physical Department of Birmingham University at my disposal. I must also record my indebtedness to Prof. Vines, Prof. Gotch, and Sir Oliver J. Lodge, for various suggestions and criticisms.An abstract of this paper was read to the Royal Society in February of the present year, and it is owing to the generous financial aid accorded by the Society that I am able to publish this work as a separate treatise.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
