Excerpt from Microscopy for Beginners: Or Common Objects From the Ponds and Ditches

To the beginner in the use of the microscope, indeed to the beginner in the study of any department of natural history, the name of the specimens found is of the first importance. It is the key that opens the door to further knowledge, and until it is obtained the beginner is helpless; the books are closed to him, all conference with others in reference to the object or specimen is impossible, and, in many, a budding interest that might otherwise bloom and bear fruit is crushed and destroyed. The first question asked is always, "What is it?" and unless the questioner has a kind and experienced friend to whom he can take the specimen, or a book of common objects from which the names of ordinary natural history materials can be ascertained, the question is too often unanswered, and the beginner soon loses his relish for the unknown in nature, because to him it always remains the unknowable.

In England innumerable little hand-books in all departments of natural science are within the reach of every reader, even the least wealthy.
