Excerpt from The Northern Microscopist, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Journal of Practical Microscopy The completion of our first volume gives us a suitable opportunity of thanking our readers for the kind support they have given to our little venture. When we cast our eyes about us and see the vast strides that Microscopy is making, when we consider the important part it is playing in the different departments of Science, and how extensive is its application in the arts and manufactures, we must be at once struck by the paucity of journalistic literature devoted to a practical handling of the subject. It was in a measure to supply this want that the Northern Microscopist was brought into existence, and to this, too, doubtless, is largely owing the fact that it has at once found its way to so many book-shelves. Very many - we might almost say most - of our large towns have their own Microscopical Societies, but it has not been found possible for such to publish separately their own proceedings. We have to a certain extent enabled the Societies in our Northern towns to possess a complete record of their meetings, while many of the papers read at them have been printed without abridgement, and have, at a considerable expense, been illustrated, whenever it appeared that such a proceeding was necessary to secure their due appreciation. It has been our aim to supply the reader with articles of a practical nature, and we are glad to find that they have met with a favourable reception.
