PREFACE.
Microscopic investigation of organic and inorganicmatter is so peculiarly characteristic of the actualstate of science, that the Author has ventured to givea sketch of some of the most prominent discoveries inthe life and structure of the lower vegetable and marineanimals in addition to a few of those regarding inertmatter.
The Author feels bound to return her best thanksto kind friends—Sir John Herschel, Mr. Huggins,Mr. Gwyn Jeffrey, Prof. Tyndall, and Mr. T. Moore ofChelsea, who have aided in revising some of the sheetsfor press, and have thus counteracted the disadvantageunder which she labours, of a residence abroad, andat a distance from libraries of reference.
