Excerpt from The Protoplasmic Theory of Life The subject of this work was the theme of an inaugural address to the Microscopical Society of Liverpool, delivered by me as President for the year 1874. My attention had been directed to the subject for several years, and materials accumulated for the treatment of it far beyond what could be given in the compass of a lecture. These materials have been, to some extent, used in the Second Part, and the rest were intended for the Third Part of "Life, and the Equivalence of Force," a work in which I have endeavoured to bring before the notice of biologists the remarkable anticipation of certain recent views on the nature of life and other physiological questions, contained in the, partly posthumous, works of Dr. John Fletcher, of which I am the sole surviving editor. It has seemed, however, better to publish what refers to this subject complete in itself, leaving my hands free for other matters, especially the stimuli: hence the present book.

Excerpt from The Protoplasm Theory: An Introductory Lecture Delivered at the Opening of the Winter Session of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, October, 1, 1873 With respect, finally, to the methods by which protoplasm performs the fundamental vital acts, I need not recapitulate what has been so often described already. I will only in this connection point out to you the important fact that so far as observation has yet gone - mark the proviso-protoplasm has never been definitely known to arise de novo, but is always found derived from pre-existing protoplasm by bodily division of one unit-mass into new individuals or germs. Such, then, are the pregnant facts that the microscope has re vealed, and I leave you to judge whether I was justified in say ing at' the beginning of the lecture that a common denominator of life had been found. You have seen that throughout the vast domain of the animate world, from man to the monera, there is but one kind of actively living matter - protoplasm but one mode of its existence, in elementary unit-masses: but one scheme of tissue-building, the multiplication and transformation of such elements: and apparently but one mode of continuance of life on earth, direct division of protoplasm-units into new genera tions of the same.
