    verbal description, it is hoped that the pictorial illustra- tions will, in some measure, make up. To secure the accuracy of the figures, considerable pains have been taken. The steel engravings, which are from the burin of that excellent artist, Mr. Henry Adlard, are after drawings by the author himself, partly from nature, partly copied with such alterations as he considered necessary to render them more correct and illustrative. For the wood-engravings, which are exe- cuted with Mr. Vasey’s accustomed accuracy and care, the drawings on the wood, most of them from original designs, were also made by the author, except a few, which, however, he revised and corrected. In conclusion, the author thinks it proper to men- tion, that he has incorporated in the present volume the various contributions to ophthalmic medicine and sur- gery which he has made, some anonymously, in the course of the last fifteen years, and also that he has freely availed himself of the information contained in the principal works, British and foreign, on the subject. George Street, Hanover Square, London, Sept. 26, 1846.
