Excerpt from Practical Methods in Microscopy This book, as originally written, was intended for begin ners working privately without the assistance of experienced instructors and without the apparatus Of a well-equipped laboratory. It was, therefore, thought best not to include processes which require expensive accessory apparatus and a considerable outfit of chemicals. The complicated processes necessary for the best results with delicate tissues were also Omitted as beyond the needs of the mere beginner and as likely to discourage him in his first efforts. The favor with which the book has been received in the laboratories of several leading colleges has led to the addi tions which have been made in this edition to include the processes Of microscopic technique that are needed in such laboratories. While the book has been extended to meet the needs Of more advanced workers, it is believed that it is none the less adapted to the needs of beginners and private workers. The author wishes to make especial acknowledgment Of indebtedness for suggestions to Professor Frederick C. New combe, Of the University of Michigan, and to Professor F.

Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Use of the Microscope: Including the Different Methods of Preparing Examining Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral Structures In presenting the second edition of this work to the public, the Author begs to offer his thanks for the favourable reception the former edition has met with. He trusts that the present from the numerous additions made to it, will be found more worthy of notice. It having been objected, that no mention was made of foreign microscopes in the first edition, this seeming omission is remedied by the description of all the best instruments now manufactured by our continental neighbours. The Author begs to offer his sincere thanks to those friends who have kindly used him during the progress of the work, and especially to Mr. Lister and Mr. Jackson, for their revision of the whole of the former edition.
