MICROSCOPICAL AND LANTERN SLIDE 

 CIRCULATING LIBRARY. 



FROM time to time a \ery strong desire has 

 been expressed by users of the Lantern and 

 Microscope that I should establish some 

 system by which they could obtain suitable sets of 

 slides for Lectures and Demonstrative purposes, 

 and to obviate the heavy expenditure in the 

 purchase of slides they are frecjuently called upon 

 to make when preparing for lecture work. 



To meet this desire, I purpose in September next 

 to open my Entire Stock of Lantern and Wlioro- 

 scopioal Slides for Subscription Purposes, thus 

 enabling- members of Clubs, Schools, Institutions, 

 Natural History Societies, etc., to fully and 

 completely illustrate (both by Lantern Slides and 

 by exhibition of the actual object under the micro- 

 scope) the Papers and Lectures on Natural History 

 Subjects to be given during the winter months. 



My catalogue for September next, now in pre- 

 paration, will enumerate Lantern and Microscopical 

 Slides illustrative of every branch of Natural 

 History as completely as possible. Many of the 

 Lantern Slides sent out to subscribers will be 

 Coloured 'o Nature, The Microscopical Slides 

 will be of the highest educational value, and such 

 as I supply to Educational Institutions throughout 

 the country. 



Slides to the number of 300 per year, supplied 

 in sets as required by subscribers, will be sent, post 

 paid, for the Annual Subscription of £1 Is., 

 payable in advance. 



The slides will be sent one or two days prior to 

 the day of the lecture or exhibition, and must be 

 returned the day following the lecture, post paid. 

 Special post boxes will be provided for this 

 purpose, which will obviate the usual trouble of 

 packing. 



I shall esteem it a favour if intending subscribers 

 will communicate as early as possible. Lists of 

 additions to my stock will be sent to subscribers 

 from time to time. 



The Pharmaceutical Series of Microscopical Studies 

 in Elementary and Advanced Botany, comprising 48 

 preparations, are published to meet the requirements of 

 I'harmaceutical Teachers and Students, and are sent 

 packed in rack-box, price 21s. post free.

"An admirable little guide for all who are weary of bricks and 

 mortar." — Academy. "A book which may help both teacher and 

 pupil to see, and thus open up a new world for observation, 

 experiment, and research." — Eclio. " Mrs. Brightwen is a past 

 master — or shall we say ' mistress ' ? — in the art of nature inter- 

 pretation, and this is one of her most delig-htful books." — Presby- 

 terian. "An ideal grift-book for thougritful young- people." — 

 Christian, "Well written, well printed, and capitally illustrated." 

 — Ltteraturi:. " It may happily enoug-h be kept in mind when 

 the school-prize season comes upim us. A work of this kind is 

 worth many tomes of the kind which unfortunately often do duty 

 for school rewards." — Clns^/nv Herald.
