Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Histology: Arranged Upon an Embryological Basis Philipp Stöhr, whose Lehrbuch der Histologie is here presented with many additions and changes, was born at Würzburg, June 13, 1849, and died in his native city, November 4, 1911. It was his good fortune to study under the most eminent of all histologists, Albert von Kolliker, whose assistant he became in 1877, and whom he succeeded as Professor of Histology and Embryology at Würzburg in 1902. During these years he enriched anatomy with a whole series of important contributions, and he continued his researches until the time of his death, dealing with the relation of lymphocytes to epithelium, the degeneration of glands in the vermiform process, the development of hairs, the nature of the cells of the thymus, and many other subjects. But as stated by Professor Schultze in a memorial address (Verh. phys.-med. Ges., Würzburg, 1912, vol. 42), "Stohr's position as an anatomist doubtless depends upon his surpassing gifts as a teacher." He considered that the instruction of young men in an intricate science was worthy of his best efforts, and his time was freely given to preparing demonstrations, and to writing and revising his Lehrbuch der Histologie und der mikroskopischen Anatomie des Menschen. The first edition of the Lehrbuch appeared in 1887, and the fifteenth, edited by Schultze on the basis of memoranda which Stohr had prepared, was published in 1912. Meanwhile the volume nearly doubled in size. It has been translated into many languages, including the Japanese, and the late editions have been issued in very large numbers. As principal characteristics of the book, there may be mentioned, first, its clear and concise style, somewhat dogmatic because of the omission of essentially all references to authorities. Since Stohr considered that adequate references would be impossible in a book of small size, he omitted them altogether. Second, the almost entire absence of borrowed illustrations. As Schultze remarks, Stohr possessed unusual artistic talent, and many of the excellent figures were drawn by Stohr himself. Third, the full directions for the preparation of every specimen illustrated. In addition to these special characteristics, the book has the advantages of being essentially a resume of Kolliker's exhaustive Gewebelehre, adapted to the use of students.
