Compendium of Human Histology (1861)

The Compendium of Human Histology, written by Charles Morel and first published in 1861, is a comprehensive guide to the microscopic structure of human tissues and organs. The book is divided into three parts: the first part covers general histology, including the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs; the second part focuses on the histology of specific organs, such as the skin, nervous system, and digestive system; and the third part covers pathological histology, or the study of abnormal tissue structures and disease processes. Throughout the book, Morel provides detailed descriptions of the microscopic features of human tissues, as well as illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding. He also discusses the various techniques used to prepare tissue samples for microscopic examination, such as staining and sectioning. The Compendium of Human Histology was a groundbreaking work in its time, and remains an important reference for students and researchers in the fields of anatomy, pathology, and histology. Its detailed descriptions and illustrations continue to provide valuable insights into the microscopic structure and function of the human body.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
