| Summary | "The Works of Francis Maitland Balfour, Volume 1: Separate Memoirs" is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This collection presents the scattered original papers of Francis Maitland Balfour, a prominent biologist known for his contributions to animal morphology and embryology. The volume details various aspects of biological research, particularly in the field of embryology, showcasing Balfour's dedication to advancing scientific knowledge through original investigations. The opening of the volume begins with a preface that outlines the circumstances surrounding the publication of Balfour's works after his untimely death. It highlights the establishment of a 'Balfour Fund' aimed at supporting original research in biology and the collection of his separate memoirs into a four-volume memorial edition. Following the preface, the content lists the first several memoirs, which include detailed studies of the embryology of various species, reflections on geology, and foundational work on the development of vertebrates. This introductory section combines personal biographical notes with scientific rigor, setting the stage for Balfour’s influential scientific observations and theories that follow in the subsequent chapters.
