Excerpt from Methods of Morbid Histology and Clinical Pathology This volume is designed to meet the. requirements of students and pathologists working in hospitals and institutes. It is issued in response to enquiries for a laboratory handbook, containing the numerous, recently devised methods as well as those of earlier date, arranged in a form suitable for practical work. Although we dare not hope to have fulfilled these conditions in their entirety, we trust that the book will prove useful to those for whom it has been prepared, and thus meet a demand in English medical literature. It will be clearly understood that a book of this type makes no claim for originality. We have freely consulted well-known text-books, especially those of Gustav Mann, Sims Woodhead, Boyce, Mallory and Wright, Aschoff and Gaylord, Lee and Mayer, Schmorl, von Kahlden, Friedlander-Eberth, and Pollack, and the Encyklopaedie der Mikroskopischen Technik. To Schmorl's book, in particular, we are deeply indebted. We have, however, except in a few cases, obtained the details of the methods from the original papers. Our own work has thus consisted in selecting and grouping the methods, and in the addition of a few practical hints. We have also endeavoured to summarise roughly the chief theoretical considerations relative to each method.
