TREATISE ON THE DISEASES OF THE EYE. 



BY W. LAWRENCE, F. 



Surgeon Extraordinary to the Queen, Surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, &c. &c. 



A NEW EDITION, 

 With many Modifications and Additions, and the Introduction of nearly two hundred Illustrations. 



BY ISAAC HAYS, M. D., 



Surgeon to Wills' Hospital, Physician to the Philadelphia Orphan Asylum, &c. &c. 



In one very large octavo volume of near 900 pages, with twelve plates and numerous wood-cuts through 



the text. 



This is among the largest and most complete works on this interesting and difficult branch of Medica 



Science. 



The early call for a new edition of this work, confirms the opinion expressed by the editor of its greai 

 value, and has stimulated him to renewed exertions to increase its usefulness to practitioners, by incorporat- 

 ing in ii the recent improvements in Ophthalmic Practice*. In availing himself, as he has freely done, ot 

 the observations and discoveries of his fellow-lahorers in the same field, the editor has endeavored to do so 

 w th entire fairness, always awarding to others what justly belongs to them. Among the additions which 

 have been made, may be noticed.— the descriptions of several affections not treated of in the original,— an 

 account of the catoptric examination of the eye, and of its employment as a means of diagnosis^— one hun- 

 dred and seventy-six illustrations, some of them from original drawings,— and a very full index. There have 

 also been introduced in the several chapters on the more important diseases, the results of the editor s ex-

This volume will be found to occupy a place hitherto unfilled in this department of medical 9 * ]e ™*l 

 The aim of the author has been to produce a work which should, in a moderate compass, , be ; 

 cient to serve both as a convenient text-book for students and as a book of reference for p«cti« ^ 

 suitable for those who do not desire to possess the larger and encyclopaedic treatises, s 

 Lawrence's. Thus, by great attention to conciseness of expression, a strict adherence to ar y^ 

 ment, and the aid of numerous pictorial illustrations, he has been enabled to embody in it tn F^ 

 ciples of ophthalmic medicine, and to point out their practical application more fully t ^

 to correspond with its merit. The illustrations have been engraved and printed with care, a 

 whole is confidently presented as in every way worthy the attention of the profession.
