Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Micrographia: Containing Practical Essays on Reflecting, Solar, Oxy-Hydrogen Gas Microscopes; Micrometers; Eye-Pieces, &C. &C
The first chapter contains a description of all the re?ecting Microscopes that are worthy of note, and in particular an account of the most improved form of that of Professor Amici, of Modena (the only one which has come into use) and it may fearlessly be maintained, that Dr. Goring has omitted no argument which could be adduced in its favour. To this is at tached full and perspicuous directions for its manage ment, in every possible manner in which it can be mounted. In my humble opinion, this chapter is an excellent model for this kind of writing.
The recent discoveries of the fossil remains of Infusoria, Plants, &c. Will cause the geologist also to call to his assistance the aid of the Microscope.
