To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Be careful your turpentine is pure the commercial turpentine is of no use for, if bad, it will cause you endless bother and vexation ; and even when finished, your slide will disappoint you, as water bubbles get in, and, by their refraction, make close examination with a high power impossible. If you do not want your specimens for immediate mounting it is advisable to work them off into turpentine, when if properly corked they will keep for any length of time. Some try to keep them in spirit of... wine, but I find the body substance deteriorates, and gaps occur in its substance. The polypes too become fragile, and the least shake some- times plays the mischief with them. The same results of mounting might have been attained by working from 90% alcohol to absolute alcohol, and then clove oil and balsam, but I find it is more expensive. To obtain the second species of the generation the medusoids I employ a tow net. It is composed of a hoop, 6 feet in circumference, and a conical net of fine strong muslin, at the end of which I place a zinc can with a rounded lip.
