    false notions must be replaced by those which are sounder and more just. ior this reason, we have endeavoured to make this work intelligible to all. It may be read with profit by those who possess the elementary notions of natural science which are included in the course of primary instruction. We therefore hope that the volume may find a place in the libraries of secondary instruction, and in public libraries. Although the work is not specially intended for physicians, yet practical men may not be indisposed to glance at it: it may, at any rate, serve as an intro- duction to the much more learned works of Comil and Babes, of Duclaux, Klein, Koch, Sternberg, etc. We have given an important place to the botanical question, which is too often neglected in works on microbian pathology. From this point of view, the narrow bond which connects bacteria with ferments and moulds has to some extent marked out the plan we have adopted; namely, that of passing from the known to the unknown, from what is visible with the naked eye to that which is only visible with the aid of the microscope. Angeks, September 10, 1885.
