Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Microscopic Anatomy of the Human Body, in Health and Disease, Vol. 2 of 2: Illustrated With Upwards of 400 Drawings in Colour
After three years of more or less constant labour, the wel come and often-wished-for period of the completion of this work has arrived, and the author is at liberty to address himself to his readers, and to explain the motives and the circumstances which have led to its production.
The idea of this work presented itself to the author's mind several years since; it was not, however, until about the period above referred to, that its actual execution was commenced.
At the time when its design was first conceived, the powers of the microscope in developing organic structure were but beginning to be known and appreciated, and the importance of its application to physiology and pathology was but dimly perceived.
