This work IS the original artefact and NOT the POD version! Unlike "the reproduction of a historical artefact" [Print on Demand - a misnomer if ever there was one - surely the absence of any demand would mean absence of any listing? By listing,therefore creating a demand?] and "whilst that work may contain missing or blurred pages,poor pictures,errant marks, etc." - within this ORIGINAL book,these faults will be identified and notified.This work has NOT been "housed in any our most important libraries around the world",but does have soft pencil annotations in the text and margins. "This work is important enough to be preserved",and "made generally available to the public." I "appreciate your support of the preservation process" in buying the bona fide ORIGINAL,"and thank you for being an important part of keeping this knowledge alive and relevant."
Author's aim of the book has been to place in the hands both of professional and unprofessional readers a short compendium of the principal established facts and most obvious reasonings on the question of Experiment upon Living Animals.
