Common Objects of the Microscope

Name: Common Objects of the Microscope
Author: J. G. Wood

John George Wood was the most popular writer on natural history in Victorian England, and this little guide showed beginners what an ordinary microscope would make of things from the house, the garden and the pond. This is a later edition, revised by Edward Bousfield. In Brobdingnag Gulliver found the lice on the beggars plainer to his naked eye than a European louse through a microscope.
