Excerpt from Practical Hints on the Selection and Use of the Microscope<br/><br/>The fact that an unusually large edition Of this work has been sold in a comparatively short period, is, to the author, evidence that such a work was needed, and that the present volume has, to a certain extent, supplied the want. In the present edition, therefore, he has endeavored to introduce several important improvements, while at the same time the elementary character of the work remains unaltered. With a few very slight and unimportant exceptions, the entire matter of the former edition has been incorporated in the present, and in addition several important subjects, particularly the chapter on Objectives, have been greatly enlarged. Many important points still remain untouched, but it is believed that in its present form most beginners will find in it all the information that they may require upon general topics.
