IV PREFACE 



the plan of structures and those drawn from the tissue as 

 seen in the microscope. 



Our literature abounds in excellent works for the advanced 

 student, and this volume is designed to pave the way for their 

 appreciation. 



I desire to record my high appreciation of the aid of Drs. 

 Charles T. Jewett, Egbert Le Fevre, E. Eliot Harris, Milton 

 Turnure, H. Pereira Mendes, J. Gorman, A. M. Lesser, J. Alex- 

 ander Moore, Robert Eoberts, Esq., Warden, and Mr. John 

 Burns, Clerk of Charity Hospital, in facilitating my access to 

 valuable tissue for the illustrations and for my own studies. 



My thanks are due my First Assistant, Dr. F. T. Reyling, 

 for his indefatigable efforts in furthering the work ; and to 

 Mr. A. J. Drummond, for photographical favors.

PREFACE TO THIRD REVISED EDITION 



A revision of Miller's Microscopy became necessary, partly on 

 account of the advances made in histology during the last ten 

 years, and partly because of the increasing tendency in medical 

 schools to devote more time to laboratory studies. Substantially 

 all of the original matter has been retained, although somewhat 

 rearranged ; and where new matter has been inserted, the 

 attempt has been made to 'give it the form which was the 

 peculiarity of the original, namely, in being written from the 

 point of view of the student, and not of the teacher. In pre- 

 paring the various additions, the standard text -books on his- 

 tology have been constantly consulted.
