46 HOW TO SEE WITH THE MICROSCOPE. 



work than can be performed on the " Grand American 

 Stand " of the same maker, and this, too, be the char- 

 acter of the work what it may, be it the study of a 

 Histological object or the display of the No. 20 of the 

 Moller plate, or the 19th band of Nobert. 



As may be arrived at by the tenor of the preceding- 

 remarks, the author regards the introduction of the 

 histological as marking an era in the progress of micro- 

 scope stands. The long-sought problem has been solved, 

 and in the Histological we have a cheap, reliable, and 

 universal stand, suitable for almost any work which 

 may be required, and capable of carrying any and all of 

 the various accessories which in the past have been sup- 

 posed to pertain only to the heavier and (so-called) 

 first-class instruments. 



Furthermore, the author desires in this place to put 

 on record his unfaltering opinion that, in the devising, 

 construction, and introduction of the Histological stand, 

 the maker has bestowed a greater boon on the " body 

 corporate " of microscopists than has been accomplished 

 by others, either at home or abroad. If there be an 

 error in this statement, " time, with its revenges, will 

 set it forth."
