Excerpt from A Practical Guide to the Examination of the Eye: For Students and Junior Practitioners MY experience with students has taught me that much of the initial difficulty they encounter in the study of ophthalmology, depends on the fact that many of the methods employed for examining eye patients differ so markedly from those they have become familiar with in the practical work of medi cine and surgery. For years, therefore, it has been my habit to deliver a few lectures dealing with the modes of examination to be adopted in the investigation of eye cases. Information on this subject is given in many excellent text-books. On-diseases of the eye, but is usually arranged in a way that is not easy of refer ence. In the pages of this volume it has been the writer's object to describe the various methods of examination in such a manner and at such length as to be readily understood by the student. Illustrations have been freely introduced, as being frequently more explicit than mere verbal description. Some of the photographs from which the illustra tions have been prepared were taken by myself, but, for the greater number, I am under obligation, as I have been on other occasions, to Mr. J. H. Bellamy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
