Excerpt from The Elements of Pathological Histology: With Special Reference to Practical Methods Apology or comment seems scarcely necessary in introducing to English readers a work of so well-established a reputation as Professor Weichselbaum's Grundriss der Pathologischen Histologic. Neither has it been thought needful or desirable to make many additions, and, consequently, the only ones of any length are the note on the Gum Freezing Method on p. 24 (which the popularity of that method in this country seemed to demand), and the very brief account of Dr. Bevan Lewis's useful process appended to the chapter on the Nervous System (p. 351). Some insertions in the text, chiefly relating to terminology, have been distinguished by square brackets when it seemed worth while, and a few foot-notes similarly and with the letters " - Tr." following. Under the former head may be noted the exact zoological names of the animal parasites, which, when differing from the more popular designations, have been appended to the latter, and for which, as well as for the facts mentioned in the note on p. 180, I am indebted to Professor H. M. Mackintosh, of the University of Dublin, who kindly revised the chapter in question. Some alterations, however, have been made in the typography and arrangement. Thus the work has been thrown into chapters, English fashion (though these correspond for the most part with the Abschnitte in the original), and long sections have in some instances been broken up into two or more. It has also been thought advisable to print the practical portions in a smaller type than the descriptive, which it is hoped will facilitate reference.
