Excerpt from Histological Demonstrations: A Guide to the Microscopical Examination of the Animal Tissues in Health and Disease for the Use of the Medical and Veterinary Profesions

In offering this work to the members of the Medical and Veterinary professions, with the hope of lessening the difficulties which obstruct the progress of the beginner in histological investigations, it is necessary to explain the circumstances under which it was written.

During an attendance on Dr. Harley's demonstrations in the physiological laboratory of University College, the observation of the facility with which objects were prepared for examination in the presence of the class, and the readiness with which the directions of the demonstrator were comprehended and carried into effect by the students, suggested to me the possibility of describing in an intelligible manner the method of instruction which was so successful in practice.

With Dr. Harley's concurrence and with the assistance of his original notes, which he placed at my disposal, the work was begun, and since then has gradually assumed proportions which were not at first contemplated, but which, with due regard to the completeness of the subject, could not be curtailed.

In attempting to convey the necessary instruction in the management of the microscope, I have thought it best to assume an absolute ignorance on the part of the reader, and to give the directions as nearly as possible in the same familiar manner in which Dr. Harley gives them to his class.
