Excerpt from A Manual of Practical Normal Histology The full course for classes in Normal Histology in this laboratory comprises forty lessons, of from one and a half to two hours each. Students are furnished with microscopes, reagents, and all necessary apparatus, with the exception of razors, slides, cover-glasses, and boxes for the preservation of specimens. So little time is usually at the disposal of medical students for collateral reading, and so necessary is it to occupy as little of the laboratory time as possible in oral descriptions of tissues and methods, that these notes have been prepared with the expectation that students will anticipate each lesson by reading beforehand the brief section devoted to its theme, and thus be ready to commence the practical work of the lesson hour without loss of time. It is not to be expected that epitomized descriptions of structures as elaborate as are many of those with which we have to deal in histology, will be in all cases perfectly clear and intelligible without the aid of figures; but the actual specimens prepared, and the sketches from them which are made in the laboratory by the students themselves, will make good, it is hoped, the lack of illustration in the text. There are many points in this as in every developing science which are still unsettled - opinion in regard to them changing or being modified as new facts and investigations are recorded. These have been treated, for the most part, very briefly in the text, it being left for the supplementary oral instruction to enlarge upon and explain them as the light thrown upon each by new researches may seem to require.
