" The Telescope and Microscope unfold the same truths, and in all alike, ' while 

 we explore and study, we feel anew sense of the unfailing pftwer and infinite wisdom 

 of the Great Creator, whose mercies are over all his works.' So says Mrs. WAUD 

 in the preface to her charming volume, Microscope Teachings, and few books could 

 better enforce the lesson. It is the best of several popular guides to the use of the 

 Microscope." Examiner. 



" Nothing could be better than the way in which the drawing and colouring are 

 done in the sixteen large coloured plates, each of them containing on an average 

 half-a-dozen beautiful objects, and the text is worthy of the plates." Standard. 



" The work is altogether a most charming and appropriate introduction to the 

 study of the Microscope." Athencpinn. 



"The drawings are accurate and original, and we are happy to welcome Mrs. 

 WAKD amongst the earnest students of microscopic science. To our readers we 

 cannot give better advice than, become purchasers of the book they will not regret 

 the outlay." Electrician.
