Excerpt from Practical Microscopy The Author's object in presenting this work to the student of microscopy is to supply at a reasonable cost a book written upon somewhat similar lines to Quekett's Practical Treatise on the Use of the Microscope, ' the second and last edition of which appeared in 1852. The necessity of a treatise bringing the science to the present day has been long felt, and it is hoped that a vacant place in microscopical literature is now filled up. Although essentially a practical work upon microscopy, the reader is treated to a little theory, in the hope that it may lead to a more minute study of the optical principles upon which the microscope is constructed. Some may object, perhaps, to so little theory being introduced, especially on those subjects intimately connected with Professor Abbe's recent researches, but it should be remembered that the addition of such matter would have added considerably to the cost of production and detracted somewhat from the practical character of the book: this, taken together with the fact that ample references have been given to Professor Abbe's papers, will, it is hoped, be sufficient apology.
