Excerpt from Thoughts on Animalcules: Or, a Glimpse of the Invisible World Revealed by the Microscope
The Illustrations, with but few exceptions, are from sketches, taken with a camera lucida while the objects were under the microscope, either by my daughter or myself; they have been reduced to the size required for this work, by Mr. Mounsey, of Clapham Common, for whose kind assistance I feel much indebted.
