Excerpt from The Microscope: Its History, Construction, and Application: Being a Familiar Introduction to the Use of the Instrument, and the Study of Microscopical Science

The Author cannot but express his grateful surprise at the extraordinarily popular reception which his book has met with: a sale Of fifty thousand is an unprecedented event for a work of the kind. This circumstance is extremely gratifying to him, because it affords reasonable grounds for believing that his work has been useful, and encourages renewed effort to make the volume still more acceptable. It has been his endeavour to bring the information contained in its pages up to the most recent discoveries; although, in a daily progressing field of science, it is almost impossible to keep pace with the advance of knowledge in all its ramifications.
