Not illustrated. 1886 Excerpt: ...inventors to improve our other senses, of hearing, smelling, tasting, touching. 'Tis not impossible to hear a whisper a furlong's distance, it having been already done; and perhaps the nature of the thing would not make it more impossible, though that furlong should be ten times multiplied. And though some famous authors have affirmed it impossible to hear through the thinnest plate of Muscovy glass, yet I know a way, by which it is easy enough to hear one speak through a wall a yard thick. It has not yet been thoroughly examined, how far Otocousticons may be improved, nor what other ways there may be of quickening our hearing, or conveying sound through other bodies than the air; for that is not the only medium, I can assure the reader that I have, by the help of a distended wire, propagated the sound to a very considerable dis. tance in an instant, or with as seemingly quick a motion as that of light, at least, incomparably swifter than that, which at the same time was propagated through the air; and this not only in a straight line, or direct, but in one bended in many angles.--From works of Robert Hooke, published in 1664. WHAT TO WORK WITH. It is often a matter of question with the beginner what objects shall be examined with the microscope. The answer, roughly speaking, would be everything; for whatever is not already small enough, can by proper treatment be reduced to the proper dimensions. For this purpose Nature has a great storehouse of hidden treasures, which she is ever ready to render up to the dilligent seeker. Field and woodland, hill and valley, earth and water, are ever at hand, teeming with wonders, many of which, too minute for the eye of man, only reveal their beauties to the microscope,--the king of the invisible.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
