Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A d104-Book of Histology: Arranged Upon an Embryological Basis
When Professor Lewis decided not to bring out a new edition of his book himself, it was perhaps natural that the task should fall to me, since we have been colleagues throughout our years of teaching. In this present edition I have been given perfect liberty. For the new material and its arrangement I am solely responsible, and the omission of certain parts of the former work is also due to me. Most of those paragraphs dealing with embryological and historical subjects have been left as Professor Lewis wrote them. The section on technique, written by Dr. Lowrey, has been altered only slightly by the addition of a method for fixing and staining mitochondria. On the other hand, the sections on the brain and the development of the cranial nerves have been omitted. The growth of our knowledge of neurological anatomy has called forth special text-books on this subject, to which the student will naturally turn. To incorporate even an adequate summary of this material in this volume would increase its bulk unduly, and would give at best only a meager description of what is now a separate branch of anatomy.
