Excerpt from The Oxidases: And Other Oxygen-Catalysts Concerned in Biological Oxidations During the past eight years I have devoted a considerable part of my time to a study of the oxidases and of certain phases of biological oxidation, with the result that I have come to appreciate as never before the need of a somewhat more comprehensive and complete treatment of this subject than is ordinarily to be found in most treatises on fermentation. Furthermore, a study of the earlier literature of the subject has revealed certain rather curious mistakes, which probably found their way into the literature originally as the result of typographical errors, but which pervade the whole subject with an annoying persistency. During the past four years, as the result of easy access to the departmental libraries in this city, I have had unusual facilities for familiarizing myself with the literature of this subject, and it was partly with the view of giving to other workers in this field the benefits of my opportunities along this line, that this monograph has been written. No special claims are made for originality either in the mode of treatment of the subject, or in some cases even with regard to phraseology, my only object being to present the subject as accurately and comprehensively as possible within the time at my disposal.
