On Protoplasm

On Protoplasm is a book written by James Ross in 1874. The book is an examination of the criticism made by Dr. James Hutchinson Stirling of Professor Huxley's views on protoplasm. Protoplasm is the living substance found in all cells, and Huxley was a prominent biologist who had proposed a theory that protoplasm was the basis of all life. Stirling, on the other hand, had criticized Huxley's views and argued that protoplasm was not the sole basis of life. Ross's book provides a detailed analysis of Stirling's criticism and evaluates the validity of his arguments. The book is an important contribution to the scientific debate on the nature of protoplasm and the basis of life. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of biology and the development of scientific theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
