Excerpt from Guide to the Practical Study of Diseases of the Eye: With an Outline of Their Medical and Operative Treatment
If I have criticised the practice of others, it has been only in a few instances, when I felt it to be a duty to offer warnings against modes of treatment which I believed to be either useless or hurtful.
In the absence of coloured plates, which, if executed as they ought to be, would have placed my volume beyond the reach of those for whom it is intended, I have given references to some of the best illustrated works published within the last few years. I would especially direct attention to the beautiful and correct drawings of Liebreich, which so faithfully exhibit the more important aspects of the deep tissues, as seen with the ophthalmoscope.
The truly encyclop?dic work of Mackenzie is so well known, that I need hardly mention it as containing an account of nearly all that has been written on the subject of Eye Disease, whether in this country or abroad, in ancient or in modern times. The French edition, by Warlomont and Testelin, is not only a singularly faithful translation of the original, but is enriched with much additional matter; and a Supplement is now in course of publication, embracing those subjects which have been newly brought forward, or more fully investigated, since the publication of the Treatise itself.
