Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pathology of the Eye, Vol. 1: Histology; Part I No complete monograph on the Pathology of the Eye has yet been written in any language. Various attempts have been made from time to time to describe and illustrate the chief facts of the pathological histology by Wedl (1860), O. Becker (1874), Pagenstecher & Genth (1878), Alt (1880), Wedl & Bock (1886), Greeff (1902), Ginsberg (1903), and others. All of these, with the exception of Ginsberg's Manual and the incomplete work of Greeff, are inadequate and out of date; and even the latter works are not available for all English-speaking ophthalmologists. The object of this treatise is to give as complete an account of the Pathology of the Eye as is possible in the present state of our knowledge. It may be reasonably asserted that the time is not ripe for such a work, and as far as dogmatic finality is concerned this is true There are few, however, who will not admit the urgent need of gathering together the grains of knowledge which we possess, and winnowing them of the chaff of futile conjecture and discredited theory. It must be admitted with regret that few of the problems before us have been solved. I shall therefore endeavour to set forth the facts which have been discovered, and which have been recorded in the various European and American scientific journals. The various theories based upon these facts will be reviewed and weighed, with the object of determining their relative value, and of arriving at the best working hypotheses for directing future research. It is not to be expected that my deductions will meet with unqualified approval. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
