A Text Book Of Histology Descriptive And Practical

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Histology, Descriptive and Practical: For the Use of Students We seem, at present, to be rapidly approaching the dividing ways in the teaching of most sciences, and the question will soon be before us, Whether we shall be content to give our students a certain amount of real knowledge, or, in the endeavour to do more, perpetuate the reign of useless cram and practical ignorance. The author would acknowledge his indebtedness generally to the current standard works on the subject; and especially to Professor Stirling's Outlines of Histology for many of the formulae of re-agents.
