SCIENTIFIC BOOKS. 



Ophthalmic Myology, a Systematic Treatise on 



the Ocular Muscles. By G. C. Savage, M.D. 



Nashville, Tenn. 1902. Published by the 



author. 



Dr. Savage's book is one that will doubtless 

 gain a wide currency among ophthalmologists. 

 Even those who differ with him the most 

 widely must acknowledge the painstaking 

 care, the thoroughness, the great ingenuity 

 and the perfect sincerity which combine to 

 make his work suggestive and valuable. More- 

 over, his long and ample experience in this 

 special field gives hirti a certain right to speak 

 with authority wherever practical questions 

 are involved. 



Among those who busy themselves with 

 practical ej'e work, the book is sure to be 

 widely read and quoted, and its teachings to 

 find extensive, though not universal, accept- 

 ance. But for this very reason it becomes 

 all the more necessary for the reviewer to 

 point out what he cannot but regard as essen- 

 tial and considerable errors in the work. And 

 if he confines himself mainly to this more 

 ungracious part of his task, it is because the 

 good qualities of the book speak for them- 

 selves and make encomium of them superer- 

 ogatory.
