Excerpt from Diseases of the Eye: A Practical Handbook for the Use of General Practitioners and Students The aim of this little book is to give to the general practitioner and student a brief account of the principal affections of the eye and their treatment in as concise and practical a manner as possible. To this end accounts of the anatomy and physiology of the eye and of its physical optics have been omitted, as these subjects are best studied in the text books on Anatomy, Physiology, and Physics. Full directions for the various Operations on the eye have also been omitted, for only a very small proportion of medical men undertake these, and for such there is an ample choice of large text books on Ophthalmology. Lastly, directions for the use of the ophthalmoscope have been omitted, as after several years' experience with students I am most strongly of opinion that its use can only be learnt from clinical teaching, and that all printed instructions are little better than wasted labour.
