Excerpt from Practical Methods in Microscopy There are many excellent books on the microscope, and many on special requiring the use of the microscope as a working tool for investigation. In the most of these books, however, the descriptions of methods are so interwoven with other matters that the inexperienced student is confused and, in many cases, is unable to separate the essential from the non-essential. Too much is assumed to be known, or is left to be filled in by an instructor. None of these books gives to the private worker, in simple and concise language, detailed directions for the many processes that he must learn in order to make practical use of the microscope. A large amount of apparently unproductive work must be done before the microscope can be advantageously used as a working tool. It is of the highest importance that this work be done at as early a stage as possible, and without waste of time. This book is professedly for beginners and private workers, and is designed to afford the means of acquiring this necessary training. The methods here described are practical methods which have stood the test of general use. They are the methods employed by scientific men the world over. It would not be possible, in most cases, to give credit to the originators of the processes, as the processes have been the result of slow growth, and have been so modified by different workers that they have become common property. Credit can, therefore, be given only in this general way to the books and workers that have furnished the material which has been drawn upon.

Excerpt from How to Use and Care for the Microscope A microscope, - like any other instrument of precision, - cannot be made to do its best work without some knowledge on the part of the user as to how to keep it in perfect condition, and an intelligent understanding of its parts, their use and relations. The purpose of this little book is to bring before you some practical helps in clear concise form, which will enable you to obtain the best possible results when working with the microscope. We make no attempt to go into the optical principles involved in the microscope except in so far as it is necessary to direct in its use. For these we refer you to more pretentious works, - The Microscope, by Dr. S. H. Gage; The Microscope and its Revelations, by Carpenter & Dallinger. Let it be remembered that no amount of direction will take the place of good judgment and careful painstaking effort on your part, and that it is only the perfect adjustment of every part in relation to every other part which brings the best results. The neglect of one detail may destroy the virtues of all the others. It is with a desire to help and a hope that your work with the microscope may prove pleasant and profitable that we present this little volume.

Excerpt from On the Construction and Use of the Microscope These motives have induced me to give the book a more popular form, as well as to make it as practically useful as possible. The theoretical portion, therefore, only contains the principles of Dioptrics and Catoptrics, without which the construction of the microscope could not be understood; and the section treating of these subjects is further limited to the explanation of the apparatus used at the present time, although I have appended, for the sake' of complete ness, an historical Sketch of the manner in which each part of the microscope is constructed and arranged. The instruc tions for the use of the microscope are given with the great est fulness, as constituting the most important section of the work and as the dioptric compound microscope is the one most used at present, I have limited my observations to that alone.
