284 THE AMERICAN MONTHLY. [December. 



time^the treatise is in the hands of the student its technique is anti- 

 quated. This fault cannot be attributed to the book before us. It is 

 up to date, and the sections devoted to homogeneous immersion objec- 

 tives, the sub-stage illuminator, the camera lucida, the micro-spectro- 

 scope, and the micro-polariscope will be especially welcome to workers. 

 The suggestions are sententious, but helpful. The typographical work 

 is well done, and altogether it is one of those books that the student 

 and worker in microscopy cannot afford to be without. We submit 

 that a book which is likely to be in such constant use should never be 

 purchased in paper covers. F. B.
