ABOUT THE AUTHOR: T. E. Oertel, M.D., was a professor of histology, pathology, bacteriology, and clinical microscopy, medical department of the University of Georgia. EXCERPT FROM THE PREFACE: "In this day of multiplicity of medical books none venture to afflict the medical public with a volume which is not called for by some legitimate voice. Believing this, I have still brought forth the following work. Microscopy is a new and a growing science. Those of the profession who are graduated more than a decade ago for the most part received scanty instruction in laboratory work, and since that time much has been added to the technique of medical microscopy. There are many who are unable o avail themselves of a post-graduate investigation as will be helpful to them in their daily practice. the more complete works on microscopy offer to such an one a bewildering mass of material from which he is unable to cull that which will be of service to himself. It is to the beginner in microscopy, and particularly to him who must work without the advantage of the personal guidance of a teacher, that the book may prove of value." CONDITION: This book is in overall "very good" condition, with some rubbing and wear to the cover and spine, and corners are slightly bumped. Some discoloration spots and scratching on all edges. Endpages are in a light green color, and show discoloration. Leaves have evenly toned with only a small amount of foxing, primarily found within the front and back flypapers. Some foxing on the title page. With the exception of a previous owner's name written in ink on the front pastedown, this book is completely free from marginalia, annotations or creasing. Some places within the gutter show exposed stitching, (between pages 230-231), yet the binding is sound and pagination is complete. A fascinating, solid, and beautiful copy. Additional photos available upon request. Full refund if not satisfied.
