The Mystery of Life is a book written by Lionel Smith Beale in 1871. The book is a response to Dr. Gull's attack on the theory of vitality in his Harveian Oration for 1870. Beale's essay delves into the concept of life and its mysteries, exploring the vital force that animates living organisms. He argues that this vital force cannot be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry alone, and that there must be something more to life than just the sum of its physical parts. Beale's work is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of life and its mysteries, and remains an important contribution to the field of biology and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
