Two volumes (complete). xiv, 1136, 15 p., 900 woodcut figures, 22 (several coloured) plates, frontispiece, green publisher?s cloth. Very good copy of the last edition of this classic work that was often published in one volume (but those thick heavy volumes do not age well). Here we present a very nice two volume set.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Frontispiece, xviii, 1099 pp, publisher's ads; 20 plates, 756 text figures. Original blue cloth. Copy of Frederick T. Drake, with his signature dated Jan. 1, 1892. Very Good. This copy does NOT have any library markings. Seventh Edition, American issue (also published in 1891 in London by J. & A. Churchill). This seventh edition by Dallinger was a massive revision of Carpenter's sixth edition (1881). Quoting from Dallinger's Preface to this seventh edition: "The Microscope in its very highest form has become--so far at least as objectives of the most perfect construction and greatest useful magnifying power are concerned--so common that a much more accurate account of the theoretical basis of the instrument itself and of the optical apparatus employed with it to obtain the best results with 'high powers' is a want very widely felt. The advances in the mathematical optics involved in the construction of the most perfect form of the present Microscope have been very rapid during the last twenty years; and the progress in the principles of practical construction and the application of theory have, even since the last edition of this book was published, been so marked as to produce a revolution in the instrument itself and in its application. The new dispensation was dimly indicated in the last edition; but it has effected so radical a change in all that appertains to Microscopy that a thorough revision of the treatment of this treatise was required. The great principles involved in the use of the new objectives and the interpretation of the images presented by their means, are distinct and unique; and unless these be clearly understood the intelligent use of the finest optical appliances now produced by mathematical and practical optics cannot be brought about.".
