Excerpt from The Microscope: And Its RevelationsThe rapid increase which has recently taken place in the use of the Microscope, - both as an instrument of scientific research, and as a means of gratifying a laudable curiosity and of Obtaining a healthful recreation, - has naturally led to a demand for infor mation, both as to the mode of employing the Instrument and its appurtenances, and as to the Objects for whose minute examination {t is most appropriate. This information the Author has endea voured to supply in the following Treatise in which he has aimed to combine, within a moderate compass, that information in regard to the use of his Instrument and its Appliances which is most essential to the working Microscopist, with such an account of the Objects best fitted for his study as may qualify him to comprehend what he observes, and thus prepare him to benefit Science whilst expanding and refreshing his own mind. The sale of three large Editions of this Manual, notwithstanding the competition of several cheaper and more popular treatises, with the numerous unsought testimonies to its usefulness which the Author has received from persons previously unknown to him, justify the belief that it has not inadequately supplied an existing want, and in the preparation of the new Edition now called-for, therefore, he has found no reason to deviate from his original plan, whilst he has endeavoured to improve its execution as to every point which seemed capable of amended treatment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
