Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Organs of Vision: Their Anatomy and Physiology Whatever of merit or demerit may be thought to belong to the following work, the Author cannot plead guilty to the charge of hasty conception or hurried publication, and so claim indulgence; he does, however, ask that in estimating its defects, whether of omission or commission, it should be borne in mind the work has been written amidst the constant interruption and distraction of active practice, which has occupied the whole of the day, leaving only the night for scientific investigation. Indeed, an apology is due for the delay which has taken place; the work ought and would have appeared as announced more than twelve months ago, had he not been engaged in the two important trials of Palmer and Dove, which, from the comparative newness of the subject, and the very little that was known, as the evidence for the prosecution on the trial of the first, as to the physiological action of the substance alleged to have been used, showed, fully occupied him in experiments and analyses, to the exclusion of all else except daily practice, as he thought it his bounden duty to the best of his ability to investigate the matter before appearing as a witness where the lives of the prisoners were supposed to depend upon the scientific evidence; and when these trials were over he felt desirous of again going over the whole of the microscopical anatomy of the tissues of the eye. Hie Pathology of the Eye, - its diseases and their treatment, has been, perhaps more than any other part of our common Profession, abundantly illustrated and explained in magnificent and copious works, as well as in excellent manuals, in almost all languages, and countries, so that if the subject be not exhausted, the student certainly has not the excuse of want of material readily accessible for understanding the diseases of the eve.
