Your body is the most intricate machine you will ever own, and the nineteenth-century schoolroom wanted students to understand it. Hutchison's treatise pairs physiology with hygiene, explaining how the body works and how to keep it well. A warm, readable text from 1872, dedicated with affection to the author's wife. Meet yourself as your grandparents' schoolbooks did.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
