Abstract
THIS is an excellent little treatise on the same lines as Ranvier's larger “Traité Technique d'Histologie” and Prof. Schäfer's smaller “Essentials of Histology.” The various tissues are systematically described with clear and well selected wood-cut illustrations; and after each section of the systematic description a full and careful account is given of the best methods of preparation, which will enable the student to verify the descriptive account. The microscopic structure of the chief organs is treated in the same way. The directions as to technique are not merely those suitable for an elementary student, but such as will be useful to one who is advancing in the direction of original research. The figures are, with the exception of a few diagrams, actual representations of what the student should be able to obtain by the particular mode of preparation recommended. An introductory chapter treatsof the arrangement of the laboratory, and the apparatusand reagents necessary.
