The Microscope: its Construction and Management

Abstract

THIS is a handsome, even a luxurious, book. It is beautifully printed on highly-finished paper, and with a margin ample enough to satisfy the most exacting connoisseur. The illustrations are clearly produced, the binding is admirable, and after a careful comparison with the last French edition, we do not hesitate to say that the translation is as felicitous as it is accurate.

The Microscope: its Construction and Management.

Including Technique, Photomicrography, and the past and future of the Microscope. By Dr. Henri van Heurck., &c. English edition re-edited and augmented by the author from the fourth French edition, and translated by Wynne E. Baxter, F.R.M.S., F.G.S. (London: Crosby Lockwood and Son, 1893.)
