Written for students this is the author's chief work on pathological histology. "This is an excellent work by a thoroughly competent observer. As implied by its name it is intended as an introduction to the study of pathological histology and this intention is well carried out; but this does not prevent its containing a large amount of information of great value to the advanced student of this science. The explanations of the various most approved methods of hardening cutting and mounting microscopical preparations – the technique as it is called – are concise and yet complete while the abundant illustrations are beyond all praise.
