Excerpt from Half-Hours With the Microscope: A Popular Guide to the Use of the Microscope as a Means of Amusement and Instruction The success of this little work has greatly exceeded the Author's most sanguine expectation upwards of 10,000 copies having been already sold. A new edition being now required, he gladly avails himself of this opportunity to make several important additions, consisting of fresh matter interspersed with woodcuts, descriptive of the Compound Microscope and its various appendages, and an additional chapter on the Structure and Uses of the Polariscope, by Mr. F. Kitton. The Publishers hope that it may, in its present shape, meet with the same favourable reception, and prove a still more useful and reliable guide to the Amateur Microscopist.
