    In its primary iatention this work appeals rather to the instructed anatomist than to the beginner. Its aim is to put into his hands a concise but complete account of all the methods of preparation that have been recommended as useful for the purposes of Microscopic Anatomy, and so furnish him with a ready source of information on points of detail as to which his memory or his knowledge may be at fault. This object is attained by the mere collection of Formulae set out in Part I, and of special methods described in Part II. But the book could obviously be made to subserve a further end—that of a guide to the beginner. To this end I have added a G-eneral Introduction and a series of introductory para- graphs prefixed, where needful, to the different chapters. These introductory portions, taken together, go far to make up a formal treatise on the art. And as a further aid to the beginner I have added the collection of examples given in Part II. These examples are of course not intended for servile imitation, but rather as hints suggestive of the most fitting processes.
