Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Epitome of Human: Histology for the Use of Students in Connection With Lectures and Laboratory Work
It is to overcome this difficulty as far as possible that this epitome has been written. Several points have been kept constantly in mind first, to present all the facts which are of real importance for the stu dent, -a point often neglected in the aide-mémoire and similar books; second, to express these facts in the briefest and clearest lan guage, omitting all points and phrases which, though they might add interest or literary merit, are not strictly required and third, to arrange the facts in such a way that the reader, in considering any organ, may, if he will, actually sketch each part described as he proceeds, and thus make a diagrammatic plan or picture of the entire structure; this will obviously be possible for those students only who have seriously followed a regular course in histology. It is for such students that this book is intended, and not for those who have neglected their work and are anxious to acquire in a few hours facts enough to pass an examination.
One may see at a glance that this is not a text-book, nor is it intended to replace the text-book. It can, furthermore, only serve its true pur pose when used by students who have had laboratory practice as well as lectures in histology, and have thus examined the actual structures.
