Item description from seller

The revised edition of John George Wood's popular handbook on specimens found under the microscope, with fifty new illustrations. The revised edition of Common Objects of the Microscope, a charming handbook detailing the various findings one can see under a microscope, written by natural history populariser John George Wood, and revised by biologist E.C. Bousefield. In the publisher's original blue and green cloth, with in-text illustrations, a colour frontispiece, eleven other colour plates, and two monochrome plates by British engraver and lithographer Tuffen West. Collated complete. Due to the great progress within science after the first publication, Bousefield felt it necessary to update the information while retaining the enthusiasm and charm from Wood's popular original. The updated version includes fifty new illustrations, and particular revision to the pond-life section of the work. In the publisher's original blue and green cloth. Externally, smart, with a couple of faint marks to board extremities. Slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine, and to the extremities. Minor rubbing to edges. Faint offsetting to free end papers and faint spots to pastedowns. Previous owner's gift inscription to front free end paper. Internally, firmly bound, with minor wear between p.128 and plate. Faint creases to title leaf. Pages are bright and clean with minor age toning. Very Good.…
