Excerpt from Lectures on Bacteria

The present work is in the main a short abridgement of a number of lectures, some of which were delivered in a connected series as a University course, others as' occasional and separate addresses. The form of the lectures has been occasionally altered to meet the difference between a written treatise and free oral delivery accompanied by demonstrations. Some things have been omitted and others added, especially some matters of general importance which were not published or did not become known to me till after the delivery of the actual course.

The lectures were an attempt to introduce an audience com posed of persons of very different professional pursuits, medical and non-medical, to an acquaintance with the present state of knowledge and Opinion concerning the much discussed questions connected with Bacteria. They had, therefore, to give such a survey of the subject as would be intelligible to all who were not strangers to the elements of a scientific training, and especially to set forth the known facts in the life of the Bacteria in their connection with those with which we are acquainted in other branches of natural history.
