Excerpt from Text-Book of General Physics for High Schools and Colleges
Matter may be divided into two great classes: that which is living, such as plants and animals; and that which is not, such as pieces of wood and glass, water, and air. Physics is, broadly speaking, the science concerned with this second division of matter, which may be called ordinary matter; and phenomena occurring in connection with matter of this kind are called physical phenomena. Many of these occur also in all forms of living matter; but associated with them there are other phenomena which have not as yet been proved to be physical.
