Excerpt from The Microscopical News and Northern Microscopist, Vol. 4: An Illustrated Journal of Practical Microscopy After a period of four years' existence, it is with many regrets that we have to suspend the publication of The Microscopical News. During the past seven or eight months the Editors time has been so much occupied with matters other than microscopical, that he has felt for some time it would be better to suspend publication until he had more time at his disposal. Although the Journal has not been pecuniarily successful in the past, we believe it had arrived at a stage at which the revenue would have balanced the expenditure, and this is all that could be desired in a Journal interesting so small a proportion of the community as microscopists must be. We have gained some little experience of the world by means of this publication, and it has many times led us into pleasant paths and amongst pleasant company, so that it is on this account more particularly that we regret severing our connection with our readers. When first the Northern Microscopist was announced, we were asked in the great metropolis who was going to be foolish enough to perpetrate such a deed. We must say we have never for one moment regretted the publication of our first and succeeding numbers, and we hope that the four volumes may be found to contain matters interesting to the experienced microscopist and of use to the beginner. Did space allow, we would fain say a few words regarding Microscopical Societies and their management, their aims and objects also, as we really came into existence with a view of recording their proceedings, but any superfluous microscopical literature can always find an outlet in any of the ordinary channels.
