Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of the EyeIn preparing this work, I have steadily kept one purpose in view, viz., to make it as practical and comprehensive as possible, and I have, therefore, entered at length into an explanation Of those subjects which I have found to be particularly difficult to the beginner. I have, on purpose, occasionally repeated important points in diagnosis and treatment, in order to render each article, to a certain extent, complete in itself, so as to obviate the necessity of the reader having constantly to refer to other portions Of the book for explanation or information. Moreover, I have thought that this would prove of great convenience to those who may desire to consult and study certain subjects, without being obliged to peruse the greater portion of the book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
