    PREFACE. This volume has been prepared with a view of aiding- the instructors and students of the laboratory classes which are under my direction. It is also presented with the hope that it may be useful to other instructors. Again, students often wish to continue microscopical work during- the interim of colleg-e attendance; to such, it is my be- lief, these pages will have some value. Still again, very many practitioners, not having had, dur- ing pupilage, advantages equal to those provided by the modern laboratory equipment, wish to acquire more knowl- edge of microscopy, for its value in practical medicine. To such workers, also, I desire to be useful. So much technique has been introduced as has been found to be of absolute necessity, and no more. The processes for the preparation and exhibition of tissues are generally simple and always practicable. In the description of organs, I assume the student has a an knowledge of gross anatomy, but knows nothing of his- o og.v. he scheme or plan of the structure is first described theS‘mode TamS Wh6re r°qUiSite *° c^earness—after which mode of preparing the sections indicated, and, under practical demonstration, every histological detai tabu at A proper order. The drawings will, I believe, aid in the recog- tion of such elements in the field of the microscope. ie illustrations are exact reproductions, by photographv between' tl,TdrP'CtUreS; distinction must al'a.vs be made drawings which are schematic-used to empha-
