Book Description

Excerpt from The Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, 1897, Vol. 7 Dear Friends, - It is with the deepest regret that I write the word which appears above. The present part completes the Sixteenth Annual Volume of the International Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, and during the whole of those sixteen years I can honestly say that I have spared no labour to make it worthy of the name it bears. That I have succeeded in winning the approbation of a great number of subscribers I have many letters to prove. But for several years the result of the sales has not been sufficient to pay the printer's bills, and this year I feel myself so far in arrears that I dare go on no further. I cannot close without tendering my best thanks to those subscribers who have helped me by their kind support, and especially those - and they are many - who have been subscribers from the first; also to those who have contributed valuable papers, and have promised others for next year, which I shall be obliged to "decline with thanks." My thanks are also due to my publishers, Messrs. Bailliere, Tindall, and Cox, from whom I have always received the greatest courtesy and kindness.
