Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Evenings at the Microscope: Or, Researches Among the Minuter Organs and Forms of Animal Life To open the path to the myriad wonders of creation, which, altogether unseen by the unassisted eye, are made cognisable to sight by the aid of the microscope, is the aim and scope of this volume. Great and gorgeous as is the display of Divine power and wisdom in the things that are seen of all, it may safely be affirmed that a far more extensive prospect of these glories lay unheeded and unknown, till the optician´s art revealed it. Like the work of some mighty genie of Oriental fable, the brazen tube is the key which unlocks a world of wonder and beauty before invisible, which one who has once gazed upon it can never forget, and never cease to admire. This volume contains but a gleaning ; the author has swept rapidly across the vast field of marvels, snatching up a gem here and there, and culling one and another of the brilliant blossoms of this flowery region, to weave a specimen chaplet, a sample coronal, which may tell of the good things behind.
