Excerpt from Diseases of the Eye
A work which has passed through the press six times in Great Britain and six times in America can reasonably claim a degree and length of success which can come only from merit. Nettleship fills a peculiar place in the rich literature of ophthalmology, as it compendiously answers the needs of practitioners as well as students, and is so widely used as to render possible a price placing it readily within the command of all.
The favor which it has thus found among all English-speaking nations has led to still another advantage, namely, frequent revision and consequent fidelity to the rapid progress of ophthalmology. The present edition has had the benefit of thorough revision not only in England but likewise in America. In certain points the views and practice of American ophthalmologists differ somewhat from those prevailing in Great Britain, and, accordingly, bracketed additions will be found in the text wherever necessary to render it a true exposition of American practice.
