To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is important at the outset to avoid a perhaps natural confusion of ideas, and to expressly distinguish between electricity applied from without by way of what we shall desig- nate as leading-in or exciting electrodes, and elec- tricity arising within or aroused within the living animal or tissue, and conducted to the galvanometer or other electrical indicator by way of what we shall designate as leading-out electrodes. The latter alone is animal electricity, the fornier is not, although it i...s often used to arouse within living matter that chemico- physical action of which the deflection of a galvano- meter is an outward and visible sign. ANIMAL ELECTRICITY. LECTURE IV. "]"] This is, to some extent, a preliminary digression — inasmuch as the title of these lectures is Animal Elec- tricity, not Electro-physiology. Strictly speaking, the former title covers only the electrical effects derived from animals, not the effects of electricity applied to animals. But seeing that we shall very shortly have to deal with polarisation phenomena which belong to both categories — being electrical responses to elec- trical currents; and that we shall have to examine the relation between such electrical responses and the ordinary mechanical responses significant of physiological excitation, the digression is not merely convenient and necessary, but logically defensible, even if we are to be restricted to animal electricity.
