Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science, Vol. 64: 1919-20 It may be said that in 1883 the Journal had finally reached its present form and very nearly it s present size. The contents, with the exception of occasional reviews or translations of foreign memoirs of special importance, are original memoirs on bacteriology, and the embryology, histology, bionomics and comparative anatomy of animals. A large and increasing space has been devoted to the progressive department of Protozoology. As regards Size, it may be recorded that vol. 23, the first to appear in medium octavo, contained 653 pages of letter press and forty-three lithographic plates. By 1885 the number of contributors had so far increased as to require a supplement to the four quarterly numbers, and the volumeiis enlarged to 752 pages of letterpress and fifty-two lithographic plates. In 1890, owing to the increasing number of memoirs con tributed, the strict routine of quarterly publication was abandoned and the numbers were published at shorter and less regular intervals, though, as before, four numbers went to make up a volume. Thus in twenty-eight years thirty three volumes have been published. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
