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.

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 muscle-General remarks on areolar tissue-Conclusion. Summary of results. Explanation of the plates. THE DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF THE SPECIMENS, with a colored plate, is published separately. Price 28. LONDON: JOHN CHURCHILL.

"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. LONDON: JOHN CHURCHILL.
