Description
Excerpt from The Microscope and Its Revelations, Vol. 1
It has been the Author''s object throughout, to guide the possessor of of a Microscope to the intelligent study of any department of Biology, which his individual tastes may lead him to follow-out, and his indi vidual circumstances may give him facilities for pursuing. And he has particularly aimed to show, under each head, how small is the amount of trustworthy knowledge already acquired, compared with that which remains to be attained by the zealous and persevering student. Being satisfied that there is a large quantity of valuable Microscope-power at present running to waste in this country, - applied in such desultory observations as are of no service whatever to Science, and of very little to the mind of the observer,''-he will consider himself well rewarded for the pains he has bestowed on the production and revision of this Manual, if it should be tend to direct this power to more systematic labors, in those fertile fields which only await the diligent cultivator to bear abun dant fruit.
