    of tlie individual subjects to the connected exposition whicli I here give them of the whole. Nay, this very exposition may perhaps afford a direct stimulus for such more accurate study; and if it do but this, it will have done enough. The time at my disposal was not sufficient to enable me to write out and revise a work like this. I was therefore con- strained to have the lectures taken do^vn in short-hand, just as they were delivered, and to publish them with but slight alterations. Herr Langenhaun has executed his stenographical task with great care. As far as the shortness of the time per- mitted, and wherever the text would otherwise have been diffi- cult of apprehension to the inexperienced, I have had woodcuts made from the drawings on the board, and more particularly from the -microscopical preparations which were sent round. Completeness in this respect could not be attained, seeing that, even as it is, the publication of the work has been delayed some months in consequence of the preparation of the woodcuts. RUD.
