Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of the Surgical Operations on the Eyeball, and Its Appendages as Practiced at the Clinic, of Prof. Of Fuchs The fore lying volume is based on the lectures which for years I have given during the courses in Ophthalmic Surgery at the Clinic of Professor Fuchs, in Vienna. Among the numerous visiting physicians who have attended these lectures, many have come from English-speaking countries, and it is in pursuance of their oft-expressed wish that this publication has been made. In consecutive chapters there are described in detail and pictured the most important ophthalmic operations, as they are performed at the Clinic of my Chief, Hofrat Fuchs. Under his valuable guidance, my clinical education and cultivation have been acquired, and a large part of the operative procedures herein set forth I have learned from him personally. Although presented under the names of their originators, many of the operations are described with the modifications and improvements which the very extensive experience in our Clinic has gradually led us to adopt as the best routine practice. Some of the methods, however, are essentially my own: for example, the extirpation of the tear-sac. Had I not been much pressed for time, these would have been published years ago. As it is, I now for the first time publicly present them in this book. I take this opportunity of acknowledging my indebtedness to Dr. M. Sachs, the former first assistant of the Clinic, to whose staff I was attached as a beginner in ophthalmology. To him I offer assurance of warmest thanks and sincere devotion. The drawings for the illustrations are from the skillful hand of Wenzel, who gave himself to his difficult labor with great earnestness and artistic care. To Dr. William M. Sweet my thanks are due for his friendly counsel and aid in effecting the publication of my work. I also desire to record my appreciation of the faithful and scholarly assistance of Dr. Walter L. Pyle, in reviewing the English translation of my manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
