Abstract
THIS book gives a very complete summary of modern methods employed in microscopical research as applied to animal tissues. The introductory chapter on the microscope is very brief; probably the author considered this part of the subject hardly came within the scope of his compilation. On the other hand, the preparation of material, hardening, embedding, and staining are dealt with at considerable length, and in the second part of the work the application of the methods to particular tissues and organs is detailed in a complete and thorough manner. When treating of apparatus, the author has avoided anything which simulates a list from instrument makers' catalogues, often a difficult matter in a work of this kind.
