Books with title Common Objects of the Microscope

PEEFACE. IN my two previous handbooks, the "Common, Objects " of the Sea-shore and Country, I could but slightly glance at the minute beings which swarm in every locality, or at the wonderful structures which are discovered by the Microscope within or upon the creatures therein described. Since that time a general demand has arisen for an elementary handbook upon the Microscope and its practical appliance to the study of nature ; and in order to supply that want, this little volume has been produced. I must warn the reader that he is not to expect a work that will figure and describe every object which may be found on the sea-shore or in the fields, but merely one by which he will be enabled to guide himself in microscopical research, and avoid the loss of time and patience which is almost invariably the lot of the novice in these interesting studies. Upwards of four hundred objects have been figured, including many representatives of the animal, vegetable, and ..

Within the last half-century the use of the microscope, not only as an instrument of scientific research, a tool in the hands of the investigator of the finer organisation of the world of nature, nor even as an adjunct to the apparatus of the chemist or the manufacturer, but as a means of innocent and instructive recreation, has become so firmly rooted amongst us that it seems hardly necessary to advocate its claims to attention on any of these grounds.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION-»-The task of revising and bringing up to date a work which has been the guide, philosopher, and friend of thousands of commencing microscopists has been, in the present case, one of no small difficulty. On the one hand, there was the natural desire to interfere as little as possible with the original work ; and on the other, the necessity of rendering available, to some extent at least, the enormous advance in every department which has taken place in the thirty-six years which have elapsed since the work was first offered to the public. The reviser has done his best not only to fulfil these two objects, but to keep in view the original purpose of the book.In the popular department of pond-life especially, about fifty new illustrations have been added, mostly from the reviser's own notebook sketches. The whole of the botanical part has been revised by oneTable of Contents XXIV ALGEBRAIC TRA:ljFOR:IATJO~S A;>,"'D S{,'DSTJn;TJO~S 371; XXV SOLUTJO~ OF NU~lt'':JlJCAL Au:a;mvIC EQUAT'O~S • 392; XXVI YA "L :IOTlO's • 407; XXVII LAWS OF GnOWTH 423; XXVlII l'OLAR CoomH:-JATf;~ 431;; XXIX CO~IPLEX XCmHms 430; XXX SOLI}} ASALYTIC GtX>U·;THY: POJXTIi A:'1) LI~~':s 452; xXXI SOLID AXALYTICS: FfJlST DEGREE E(~UATJO:-;~ A~I); EQUA TJOXS J~; Two VAil' AIift:S; XXXII SOLID A"ALl'TICS: QU'DRlC S{jHFACt:S; T'DLES; 465; 47;; 495 XXIV ALGEBRAIC TRA:ljFOR:IATJO~S A;>,"'D S{,'DSTJn;TJO~S 371; XXV SOLUTJO~ OF NU~lt'':JlJCAL Au:a;mvIC EQUAT'O~S • 392; XXVI YA "L :IOTlO's • 407; XXVII LAWS OF GnOWTH 423; XXVlII l'OLAR CoomH:-JATf;~ 431;; XXIX CO~IPLEX XCmHms 430; XXX SOLI}} ASALYTIC GtX>U·;THY: POJXTIi A:'1) LI~~':s 452; xXXI SOLID AXALYTICS: FfJlST DEGREE E(~UATJO:-;~ A~I); EQUA TJOXS J~; Two VAil' AIift:S; XXXII SOLID A"ALl'TICS: QU'DRlC S{j
