Excerpt from Observations on Ophthalmia and Its Consequences
I see no reason, as far as I can judge at present, to think that ophthalmia, as it exists among the troops in the Mediterranean, differs in any respect from the ophthalmia, which is occasionally observed among our troops on other foreign stations and at home. If this be the case, it cannot be expected that I am to advance much new matter on a subject, which has been so amply and ably treated by others before me. But though I do not lay claim to originality, still I hope it will not be deemed presumption in me to say, that I hope to render this little work worthy of notice, by presenting in it some illustration of the causes of ophthalmia in our army, and by endeavouring to establish a division of the disease into the varieties which it seems naturally to present, and to institute a method of cure adapted to each variety.
