BY LIONEL S. BEALE, M.B., F.R.S. ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE SIMPLE TISSUES of the Human Body, with some observations on their development, growth, nutrition, and decay; and on certain changes occurring in disease. A Course of Lectures given at the Royal College of Physicians, April and May, 1861. Illustrated with 10 plates, containing 70 original drawings illustrating the anatomy of certain vegetable tissues: The formation of starchCancerous growths--Various forms of white fibrous tissue-False membraneMucous tissue of the umbilical cord — Muscular fibre cells-Development of cartilage-Development of bone-The formation of lacunæ and canaliculi-The structure and formation of dentine-Tissue with stellate cells-Ganglia from the pericardium-Large fibre-cells from the aorta, &c. All the figures have been drawn to a scale, and each one can be measured and compared with others. Several represent the appearances observed when the specimens were examined under a power of 1700 diameter. CONTENTS. A descriptive list of 61 microscopical specimens which were exhibited at the lectures. LECTURE I. Introductory-Importance of various methods of preparing tissues. LECTURE II. Of the structure of the simplest living beings. LECTURE III. Of the tissues of the higher animals and man. LECTURE IV. Of the increase of elementary parts-The effects of the conditions under which they grow being altered-Of pus-Of morbid growths. LECTURE V. Of morbid growths-Of the development, growth, nutrition, decay, and removal of tissues-Of secretion-Of the changes occurring in living matter. LECTURE VI. On the connective tissue series-Classification of tissues-Areolar or connective tissue--Areolar tissue corpuscles-Tendon and other forms of white fibrous tissue-Cartilage-'Mucous tissue' of the umbilical cord-Fibrous tissue formed from inflammatory lymph-Bone-Dentine-Stellate tissue on the surface of the cementum. LECTURE VII. Connective tissue-Intercellular substance (formed material)-Cells or nuclei (germinal matter)-Areolar or connective tissue corpuscles, and the system of communicating nutrient channels-Areolar tissue-Nerves in skin of mouseMucous membrane of fauces -Pericardium, its nerves and ganglia-Voluntary muscles-General remarks on areolar tissue-Conclusion. Summary of results. www THE DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF THE SPECIMENS, with a colored plate, is published separately. Price 2s. LONDON: JOHN CHURCHILL. 8vo., Cloth, 98. 6d. ILLUSTRATIONS OF URINE, URINARY DEPOSITS, and Calculi. 35 plates, containing upwards of 170 Figures carefully copied from the Objects, and lithographed; with descriptive letter-press. "For convenience of reference, and as affording the readiest means of studying the Urine microscopically and chemically, we know of no work to be compared to the present, and we recommend it to the student and the busy practitioner of medicine."-Lancet. "Dr. Beale has conferred a boon upon the profession by the publication of this work. The drawings are accurate and very numerous; the descriptions of the general characters of the deposits are clear, and the work is compact, and it will prove to be a valuable aid to the practitioner and student in examining the urine microscopically."-Ranking and Radcliffe's Half-yearly Abstract. "We have before expressed our opinion of the very practical character of Dr. Beale's publications. The work at present before us is pre-eminently practical. It is exactly what the busy practitioner and the medical student alike require to enable them to become, with the least possible expenditure of time and trouble, what is in the present day so indispensable they should both be, practical microscopists."-Dublin Medical Press. Cloth, 8vo., 148. THE USE OF THE MICROSCOPE IN PRACTICAL Medicine, by LIONEL BEALE, M.B., F.R.S., Second Edition, almost rewritten, and much enlarged, 270 Wood Cuts, and a Coloured Plate. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. "The Author has endeavoured to increase the usefulness of the work, and render it as practical as possible. With this view it has been revised throughout, and many of the articles have been entirely re-written. Much that related merely to manipulation in the first edition, will be found in "How to Work with the Microscope,' and has, therefore, been omitted in the present one. In place of this, much matter bearing more exclusively upon Medicine has been introduced, and upwards of sixty new and original woodcuts have been inserted. THE ANATOMY OF THE LIVER. Numerous Plates. A New Edition preparing. LONDON: JOHN CHURCHILL, "It would be unjust to conclude this notice without saying a few words in favour of Mr. Churchill, from whom the profession is receiving, it may be truly said, the most beautiful series of Illustrated Medical Works which has ever been published."-Lancet. "All the publications of Mr. Churchill are prepared with so much taste and neatness, that it is superfluous to speak of them in terms of commendation." - Edinburgh Medical and Surgical Journal. "No one is more distinguished for the elegance and recherché style of his publications than Mr. Churchill."-Provincial Medical Journal. "Mr. Churchill's publications are very handsomely got up: the engravings are remarkably well executed."-Dublin Medical Press. "The typography, illustrations, and getting up are, in all Mr. Churchill's publications, most beautiful."-Monthly Journal of Medical Science. "Mr. Churchill's illustrated works are among the best that emanate from the Medical Press."-Medical Times. "We have before called the attention of both students and practitioners to the great advantage which Mr. Churchill has conferred on the profession, in the issue, at such a moderate cost, of works so highly creditable in point of artistic execution and scientific merit."-Dublin Quarterly Journal. |
