Abstract
FOR a textbook to retain its youthful vivacity after fifty year's wear and tear one expects that magical forces have been at work, and one is not surprised to find that the number of this new edition is the bewitching ‘13’. This well-known manual of de scriptive histology so well conceived by Sir Edward Sharpey-Schafer has served as the chief handbook of medical students for two generations, and there are many instances where both father and son have used it; now there is also the possibility of the grandson using it as well. This is indeed a remarkable achievement for a scientific textbook. With the co-operation of Dr. Carleton we now expect it to run into the next century.
