This work serves as a detailed account of the role that experiments on animals have played in advancing medical knowledge, particularly in physiology and pathology. Paget draws on his extensive experience and research conducted as the Secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Medicine by Research to illustrate the ethical, scientific, and legislative aspects surrounding vivisection and animal experimentation. The opening of the book sets a scholarly tone as Paget outlines the motivations behind his writing and the importance of empirical evidence in medical research. He reflects on the challenges and controversies associated with animal experimentation, particularly in the context of the Act of 1876 regulating such practices in Britain. The first chapter delves into historical anecdotes, starting with Galen's contributions to physiology through animal dissections, emphasizing the pivotal role of experimental methodology in uncovering fundamental truths about the bodily functions of various species. Overall, the beginning establishes a foundation of the significance and impact of animal studies in the evolution of medical science.
